Park the car near Malga Baessa and then start walking on the main road until the Malga Valtrighetta pasture. Then bend in the track on the left that passes right under the alpine farm, keep walking towards Malga Cagnon di Sopra, passing by Malga Casabolenghetta, Malga Casabolenga and Malga Cagnon di Sotto.

For all snowshoe hikes, is recommended to wear adequate and waterproof clothing, ready for sudden temperature drops (e.g. Gore-Tex). Gloves, cap, sunglasses and sunscreen should always be carried.
Not fitting footwear (too loose or not waterproof) can cause a beginning of frostbite.
It is mandatory to carry the avalanche kit, made of ARTVA (Avalanche swamped searching engine) – shovel – probe. Walking sticks are extremely useful and recommended.

The stability of the snow cover is subjected to sudden and unpredictable changes.
Always check the avalanche bulletin (www.meteotrentino.it) and ask about the weather conditions in the local Alpine Guides offices.
The gpx tracks are just an approximation of the suggested route and can not be followed without a preliminary evaluation of the current situation of the snow and the ground.
