Famous for its water and extraordinary landscape, the Bognanco Valley is also the perfect place for snowshoeing trips and excursions. This rugged, inaccessible valley starts in Domodossola, but don’t be intimidated by its narrow gorges… the landscapes that you will find at a high altitude will truly amaze you!
From Bognanco, follow signs for San Bernardo.
Our snowshoeing routes, designed by Marina Morandin, will guide you towards Passo del Monscera and the Paione lakes, whose “remote-area water” is monitored and studied, since the lakes are located in areas that are not polluted and contaminated by human activities. This summer route to reach them is easy and very popular. However, in winter it requires experience in snowy environments and above all, snowpack stability. Other rewarding, highly scenic routes can be easily accessed from San Bernardo.
The following routes were created by Marina Morandin and taken from the guide “Ciaspole nelle Valli dell’Ossola” (Snowshoeing in the Ossola valleys) by Marina Morandin and Marco De Ambrosis, published by Danilo Zanetti Editore.
