Home » Snowshoeing in Vallesinella: the Archduke’s Trail
The route travels through Vallesinella, an admired natural landscape nestled in the Adamello Brenta Nature Park in Trentino. In winter, with snowshoes on your feet, you can walk along the well-known “Archduke’s Trail,” which leads through beech forests to beautiful waterfalls.
Vallesinella Falls are three highly photographed waterfalls that freeze over in the colder months and become the scene of exciting climbs.
Looking up along the way, you can see the Dolomite spires, a UNESCO World Heritage Site, soaring contemptuously into the sky.
Technical description:
From the hamlet of Palù in Madonna di Campiglio, go south along the entire track on the side of Vallesinella Street. Take a downhill road, following the appropriate signs, which soon leads to a widening among the fir trees, from where the route continues by taking the Archduke’s Trail.
Continue steadily downhill, passing a water source, until you reach a fork in the road surrounded by a beech forest. Here you keep to the left, continuing on the flat and comfortable path, through which, passing some slopes, you reach the impressive Cascate di Mezzo (1,392 m. altitude), the final goal of the snowshoe hike.
