Description Turn-by-turn directions How to get there Equipment

The snowshoe hike leads from Welschnofen | Nova Levante to the snow-covered Lake Carezza, offering many beautiful views of the Rosengarten | Catinaccio and Latemar along the way.

This snowshoe hike starts in Welschnofen | Nova Levante and begins with a somewhat steeper ascent. However, the effort is quickly rewarded with beautiful views as soon as you reach the Stadl Alm hut. From here, there is a magnificent view of the surrounding mountains of the Rosengarten | Catinaccio and Latemar, as well as the snow-covered alpine pastures.
From the Stadl Alm hut, the path continues through the fairytale-like Latemar forest. On a well-maintained path, it eventually leads to the Lake Carezza (Karer See | Lago di Carezza), one of the most famous natural gems of the Dolomites, whose winter scenery provides a perfect conclusion to the tour.
