Period

for everyone

Start

Riva Valdobbia (1112 m)

Tracks

10 km

The area offers several routes, varying in difficulty: the school field is a 5-kilometer easy loop, marked as a green track; a second 10-kilometer loop, of medium difficulty, is marked as a red track. Finally, some more difficult variants are marked as black track sections. From the cross-country ski track, it's possible to reach some nearby villages, which offer new viewpoints and where you can breathe in the true mountain life. From the Balma Fraction, there is an extraordinary view of Monte Rosa, while from the locality Caseruolo, in the early hours of the day, it is possible to observe the movements of deer. On-site, there are lessons with qualified instructors, a rental service, changing rooms and showers, and the bar-restaurant Lo Chalet.

The prepared trails for cross-country skiing are also bordered for a few kilometers by a section reserved for pedestrians and snowshoe hikers (who are asked to be careful not to step on the ski track), so that everyone can enjoy a walk in one of the most evocative and accessible places in the upper valley during the winter season.
