With this release I'm going to tell has officially kicked off the winter season 2008-2009. Meta
main excursion to the Horn of Aquilio (1545m) ... I say major because, as our usual trips almost always suffer a slight "detour" that leads to explore paths are slightly different from those contemplated at the start ... in this case the excursion led us to make a wide turn that brought us, after the Horn of Aquila, reach the top of the Hub Horn (1535m). ... but first things first ...

Lasciamo alle nostre spalle una gelida città avvolta dalla nebbia per dirigerci verso la parte più orientale del comprensorio della Lessinia: giungiamo a Fosse di Sant’Anna d’Alfaedo con uno splendido sole che illumina, a nord del paese, la montagna carica di neve meta della nostra escursione. Sulla sinistra della chiesa del paese parte una stradina asfaltata che in pochi chilometri ci porta in prossimità di contrada Coste (e Tommasi), dove, da uno stretto tornante, parte la strada forestale che sale verso le pendici del Corno d’Aquilio e del Corno Mozzo.
Iniziamo il percorso senza ciaspole visto che la neve troppo battuta Not recommended for use. Little time passed and are on our left the junction that cuts sharply to the top of the Horn. Also this is very via stop and then continue leaving the snowshoes at rest. The landscape before us is fantastic on the snow that covers majestic woods ... and in some places forces us to step " challenging ... even behind us the views are beautiful. The forest begins to thin out , harbinger of the arrival on the great plain located immediately north of the summit of the Horn of an eagle. The snow is beginning to be sufficiently soft and deep and then put on the snowshoes. We cross now flat and we remember the presence in the area of \u200b\u200bthe cave, "the cobbler" and then decide on a short detour for a visit; this cave is famous for training during the winter of stalactites and stalagmites of ice. We continue with the decision
climb to the summit that is now close ... reach the whipped by an annoying wind that obliges us not to linger, although the scenery is fantastic (see photo below), just the time for a souvenir photo and then off to follow the ridge towards the north . The snow is nearly immaculate. On our left the group Baldo we also look at the snow load. We start off always following the north and there head towards a group of huts near the "Spluga Preta. Here we find a place to refresh and catch your breath. The journey takes
passing next to the " Spluga Preta" (1.495m), with the idea to head east and rejoin the forest road that would restore the car. We are in total off-piste ... grazed pasture "Preta De Soto "and follow the landscape to search of the goal ... the goal that finally crossed, but instead of taking to the road that leads to the car, we decide at this point for a trip to the Horn Hub.
then resumed climbing along the canyon to the summit driven by new enthusiasm, so much to take the most direct and steep, the climb is fairly short and then the goal would be rapidly approaching and in the end our efforts are rewarded with the sight of summit. As the Horn of Aquila, the wind here is the master and then quickly away from the scene to take away of return.
We try to follow a variant way towards a new, shorter, in the direction of the underlying wood, but in the end venture in a way that has no exit and we are forced to fall back already come to the canyon above. Despite the 'variantina', the road is achieved in a short time.
But the story is not over here ... because they follow the road until the car? Why not take a shortcut that brings you back to the trail route in the morning? Ok let's try ... we see a sign on a tree and we set forth in the canyon that lies beneath us ... follow what should be the trace of a away and soon we find ourselves on the path path in the morning. You're done!

Bella wonderful city in a beautiful area, 
enriched by a good bit of snow made it even more impressive. Too bad for the snow too beaten in the first part that has not left us how to use snowshoes, but even so was dovertente, having joined the normal to the true backcountry hiking.

The tour we did, however, despite what it seems, is easily accessible by anyone with a minimum of physical training e. .. fantasy ;-) ... and they do not want to dwell too enjoy the sights :-)
