We are going to get straight to the point. The most incredible views to die for, a clean, unpolluted environment, and a pleasant and entertaining pastime... All of this can be found in Turin with snowshoeing paths! Because it's a simple activity that only requires the ability to walk, it's truly accessible to everyone!

However, each snowshoeing path is unique and you can choose between easy, non-strengthening excursions or challenging, steep-sloped excursions that take more work. But don't worry, because even in the sections where the snow is deep, you can easily cross any snowy path with the snowshoes.

What are the snowshoeing options in Turin?

Snowshoeing is offered in two magnificent areas: Bardonecchia and San Carlo Canavese, for you to choose the snowshoeing tour you wish to perform in Turin.

- A snowshoeing excursion is available at San Carlo Canavese, an easy and accessible route for everyone. It comprises a 2-hour activity in which you can select between two distinct itineraries: one in Italy's oldest national park, the Gran Paradiso, or the one through San Bernando, which takes you across the Swiss massifs.

Snowshoes help you avoid sinking into the snow on this exhilarating trek, allowing you to walk in the heart of beautiful, pollution-free landscapes! If you don't have the equipment for this winter activity, don't be concerned! You can rent all the equipment.

- Another location where snowshoeing trails are more intense and varied is Bardonecchia, a popular winter sports destination due to its proximity to the Via Lattea ski slope.

Half-day excursions through forests and icy glades in a natural environment are available in the Bardonecchia basin.

These routes run 4 to 6 hours and are ideal for individuals who have never participated in this type of sport before, although due to their duration, it is recommended that you be in decent physical shape.

For the remainder, all you have to do is dress warmly (as you will be navigating through the snow) and follow the instructions of the sports technicians. These excursions will take you to places like Grange de Rho, Grange Valle Stretta, and Pian dei Militi, to name a few. Even if you want a more comprehensive experience, you can choose routes that include great lunches in the centres from which you depart on snowshoes.

- Snowshoeing at night may be something you've never done before, but the beauty of nature when the stars and moonlight shine through is undeniable.

Contrary to popular belief, these are simple walks that you may do with your friends at night while exploring the Stretta Valley or the Rochemolles. Even if you choose not to, the expert who guides you along the trail will take you to the refuge for a special meal.

- The 2 and 3-hour snowshoe hikes are great for people who want something shorter but just as enjoyable. You will have a magnificent trip searching for snowy pathways in the mountains, admiring the unspoiled environment and the tranquilly it emits.

Regardless of the route you choose for your first time or simply to practise snowshoeing, all hikes are rigorously supervised by a trained mountain guide, and every trail you will follow has been thoroughly researched in advance, ensuring that the activity is absolutely safe.
