Seconda uscita stagionale snowshoeing. The first, in Lessinia, I have not told because it was full of foul weather and an output of the second best ... in practice we have limited ourselves to a brief tour in the near Tomb of the mountain with a stop at the refuge Primaneve , where we sheltered from the storm that was raging in the area.
So today I tell you very pleasant trip, in an area of \u200b\u200bthe Trentino that I think one of the best. I'm talking about Lagorai and more specifically the stretch from the valley to Lake Mocheni Erdemolo.
Palù Fersina we come to the last village in the valley Mocheni. Al termine dell’abitato (frazione Frotten) finisce la strada aperta al traffico e si è costretti a lasciare l’auto in un comodo parcheggio . Siamo proprio a ridosso della strada che dovremo inizialmente percorrere.
Nel primo tratto rinunciamo a calzare le ciaspole, in quanto il fondo, molto battuto e gelato, ci consente di camminare senza nessuna difficoltà.
Il primo bivio è a poche decine di metri… siamo ora sul sentiero n. 325 che dovrebbe condurci al lago di Erdemolo. Il tracciato rimane semplice e il tipico paesaggio innevato si fa sempre più suggestivo.
Dopo una ventina di minuti siamo nuovamente ad incrociare la road, which leads us to the next few minutes junction, where there is a clear indication that shows us the way to our destination. We cross a stream and here the path widens and gets lost along a side snow ... well it's time to put the snowshoes. The climb
becomes more challenging, but you can follow a path marked to facilitate the taking of snowshoes. The absence of the sun makes itself felt, not so much the temperature (low but bearable, thanks to the absence of wind), but for the gray that flattens the area, removing part of the show that this angle di montagna può offrire.
Proseguiamo… il bosco si dirada e la salita aumenta… percorriamo ora un tratto molto impegnativo, dove la pendenza elevata rende difficoltosa la presa delle ciaspole. Ma la fatica viene compensata dall’arrivo su un cocuzzolo dal quale si può ammirare un bellissimo panorama (vedi foto sotto).
Sono passate quasi due ore dalla partenza e ormai dovremmo esserci. Seguiamo una traccia ben evidente che in breve ci conduce sopra la valletta che ospita il lago di Erdemolo… si intravede il rifugio… è laggiù. Scendiamo al bivio dove un cartello semi sommerso dalla neve ci conferma che il Lake is right here. Here, we are at the shelter and this should be the lake ... of course perfectly covered with snow. We allow ourselves a lunch break before returning to base.
The descent is extremely nice ... we allow ourselves to many fun and off track, secure, make us appreciate the beauty of being able to wear snowshoes. Unfortunately when you are having fun time goes fast ... it's an hour past the start of the downhill and we're back to the car.
Conclusions:
out nice and short, ideal for those who want to become familiar with snowshoeing and the backcountry, otherwise they are safe. The climb is not prohibitive and you can avoid further soften the line with steep slopes that have followed us in the end ... just keep along the original path to the end.
I think it is a pleasant excursion for lovers of ski mountaineering, which have the ability to get out of the beautiful trail along the slopes in the woods.
