This route does not present any particular safety risks. The trail may be icy, in which case the use of crampons instead of snowshoes is advisable.
For snowshoe hikes, you should always have good hiking boots, snowshoes, hiking poles, a warm winter jacket, hat or headband and gloves. A drink, snack and sun protection are also essential in your rucksack. Crampons are mandatory in icy conditions.
The Nature Park Puez-Odle was founded in 1978 and covers an area of 10,722 hectares. The nature parks of the Dolomites were included in the UNESCO World Heritage List in 2009. Here you can discover the various rock types, sedimentary layers and weathering. This is the reason why the Puez-Odle Nature Park is also called the “history book of the earth”.
