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 Stadlalm 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 Stadlalm hut, the path continues through the fairytale-like Latemar forest. On a well-maintained trail, 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.
From the parking lot of the cable car Welschnofen | Nova Levante, walk down the sidewalk to the intersection with path [27], where the snowshoe hike begins. On path [27], you will reach the Stadlalm farm with your snowshoes while tackling a steady ascent. Afterwards, continue without snowshoes first on path [25], then on path [25A], and then again with snowshoes on path [8] to the Lake Carezza (Karer See | Lago di Carezza). The return is along the same route.
