Snowshoeing at the Foot of the Verra Glacier

During the winter season, Pian di Verra is one of the most renowned and appreciated destinations for snowshoeing enthusiasts. The ascent routes generally follow the same summer itineraries, such as trail 7 that starts from Saint Jacques and Fiery, the cart road, and, when tracked, trail 8B that connects the Verra plateau with the village of Resy. Protected by the woodland vegetation, these routes are generally sheltered from the risk of avalanches and, if well-tracked, easily passable. The continuation towards Pian Superiore and Lago Blu, on the other hand, requires a more careful assessment of the snow and weather conditions, as well as the stability of the snowpack. Pian di Verra is an easily accessible and very rewarding destination, perfect for a relaxing day, but also a starting and arrival point for important high-altitude itineraries. From here, in fact, trail number 7 continues, which goes up to the Mezzalama and Lambronecca refuges.
