Description
The Carnic Alps are a wonderful range in Northern Italy. They are filled with lakes, forests and beautiful peaks. And during the months from which this trip takes place, they are also completely blanketed with snow, giving it a gorgeous winter sheen. And on this trip, you will get to snowshoe through it. That is not all however, because you will also get to snowshoe through the Friulian Dolomites as well. Hence making this trip a 2 for 1 adventure that you will never forget.
Before the trip begins, we will discuss where you would like to go. We will also discuss which routes to take based on your skill level. As a result of the vastness of the area found in the Carnic Alps and the Friulian Dolomites, there are well tracked, easier paths for beginners and more wild, less explored routes for experts. But no matter what level you are at, and what route you choose, the large scale scenery can be seen. Which is a great thing because it's absolutely incredible.
Some examples of the different parts of the Carnic Alps and the Friulian Dolomites you can enjoy include Sappada, Sauris, Forni di Sopra, Ravascletto, Erto and Cimolais.
This is a great trip for anybody who wants to explore the beauty of the Carnic Alps in the winter season. The contrast between how they appear in the winter as opposed to the spring and summer is stunning. And I have no doubt you will enjoy every minute of this snowshoeing tour. So if you want to join me on this amazing trip, please send me a request.
I can also lead you on a similar 1 day snowshoe tour through the Dolomites as well.

Mountain Guide
I was still a child when my passion for high altitude began and grew with me. I was born in Trieste, Italy. Still young, I was carried by my parents, passionate trekkers, onto the mountains.
In the following years, I did all the activities one can do on mountains; from rock climbing to classic rock routes, to high altitude, to ice falls, to ski-touring, to free-riding, to spending every period of my free time wearing climbing shoes, ski-boots or crampons; the different equipment depended on the season I was in.
This passion for open spaces drove me and helped me make solid and long experiences in every kind of mountain activity there is. I graduated in Sports Science in order to pave the way to becoming an Alpine Guide.
Passion for outdoor life; independent of which activity you are doing—this is what I promote. Climbing, skiing, mountaineering, these activities are not a gym where we show off to others. They are reason to travel and explore new places that don’t belong in our ordinary, everyday life. They are a way to live as true adventurers. During any mountain trip, I take in the beauty of nature and enjoy relaxing in it.

Renata
Marco is a really fun guide! He kindda knows which crag that is suitable for us after asking me some information in advance. Also very detail in giving information before we reach the location
Colleen
I had an amazing day climbing with Marco’s colleague Max! He selected a route that was exactly the kind of climb I was hoping for (a long-but-easy trad route), and he was extremely easy to communicate with throughout the day. I would definitely climb with Max again. Also I found the Explore-Share platform very convenient for booking and connecting with my guide.
Kurt
Our guide Max was superb. In addition to excellent instruction and patience, he helped us first-time via ferrata explorers feel confident and capable in challenging situations. Max also shared the incredible history of the area, demonstrating incredible local knowledge and inspiring us to explore on our own to find out more. We had an amazing day.
