Winter Hike from Scoccia to Alpe Piazza with Mountain Hut Lunch

Easy and panoramic trekking among snow, silence, and breathtaking views of Valtellina

A gentle, panoramic winter excursion perfect for those who want to enjoy the mountains at their most magical. From the small village of Scoccia, above Albaredo per San Marco, the path ascends gently towards the enchanting Alpe Piazza, one of the most spectacular natural terraces in the entire Valtellina.

In winter, this route changes its appearance: the fragrant woods become silent and enveloped in white, the stone huts look like they've come straight out of an alpine postcard, and the views over the valley become even clearer and more crystalline. The route ascends with a steady gradient, ideal for those who want to walk safely on the snow without tackling challenging sections.

As we approach Alpe Piazza, the landscape opens up into a large snowy plateau, dotted with mountain huts and ancient alpine buildings that take on a unique charm in winter. The view opens up onto the Valtellina valley floor, the Bitto mountains, and the luminous peaks of Val Gerola: a perfect setting for a lunch break immersed in the silence of the snow.

A trek suitable for everyone, ideal on clear winter days when the sun reflects on the snow and transforms the Alpe Piazza plateau into a true panoramic terrace. A simple, genuine, and special day to experience together with the Guidders community 🧡.
