Snowshoe Hikes

Snowshoeing Monte S.Vigilio/Vigiljoch

Vigiljoch/Monte S. Vigilio, Lana, Meran/Merano and environs
The car-free Vigiljoch invites you to snowshoe hiking high above Lana. The local recreation area can be reached by cable car in just a few minutes.
from center

Atop San Vigilio Mountain, you can get close to nature on a wonderfully quiet winter hike without seeing a single car: for a change, why not strap on some snow shoes? From the summit station, you can either strap on your snowshoes and follow Trail no. 34 or take the chair lift higher. From the Sessellift Tavern, you can visit the delightful little Church of San Vigilio, then continue on to the Gasthof Seespitz inn to the protected habitat of the Schwarze Lacke, or Black Lake, where people delight in curling and ice skating on the frozen lake. Trail no. 7 takes you back to the chair lift or more experienced snowshoe hikers can follow the more demanding Trail no. 9 to the summit of Guardia Alta/Hochwart Mountain at an elevation of 2,607 metres.
