Lake Laus: A Wild Snowshoeing Adventure in the Upper Stura Valley!
Guiddy Difficulty Levels
Intermediate
Description
An intense and authentic winter excursion in the upper Stura di Demonte Valley, where the border mountains tell stories of silence, snow, and ancient military roads. The starting point is Strepeis, a small, secluded, and silent Alpine hamlet, perfect for immediately entering the slow rhythm of winter.
The route ascends with a gentle and steady slope, ideal for snowshoeing, crossing snow-covered fir forests and wide, bright valleys. The environment is open and evocative, with beautiful views of the peaks of the Maritime Alps. The heart of the excursion is the glacial basin of Lake Laus, often covered in snow and ice, a place capable of conveying a profound sense of quiet and vastness.
On the return, passing through the village of San Bernolfo adds a historical and human touch to the experience: stone houses, alpine architecture, and winter isolation restore a timeless atmosphere. A perfect itinerary for Guiddersche seeking real snow, vast landscapes, and authentic mountains, far from the beaten paths ⛰️🧡
