Trekking and Nordic Walking
This suggestive valley with its many alpine lakes is the ideal place for exciting excursions or quiet walks with family and friends. In Val Viola we walk in nature, on more or less demanding routes.

Mountaineering trips
Trekking
Do you love trail running? Near the Baita Caricc Farmhouse you will be able to test your skills in the Trail Run Alta Valtellina route, 20.8 km long with 710 m of height gain, on the paths, tracks and roads of Val Viola.
Another way to discover Val Viola and its paths is by Nordic Walking, an ideal discipline for those who love to enjoy nature in good company.
Mountain Bike
E-bikes too
Val Viola is filled to the brim with lovely little off road paths, where you can enjoy mountain biking immersed in nature. Here it is possible to bike both at a professional level and with family and kids, thanks to the wide variety of different paths available.
Horse riding
Due to the flat nature of a lot of the mostly accessible paths, it is possible to take these elegant animals for a long ride in the country-side.
Climbing
Val Viola presents great opportunities for those who love climbing, offering a chance to everyone to enjoy some unforgettable moments in maximum security.
Fishing
If you love fishing then you are in luck, cause our stream and lakes offer a huge amount of fun for you during the summer.
Snow shoes
Val Viola is full of natural beauty and amazing views, the perfect place for unforgettable winter excursions with snow shoes.
Nordic skiing
To skiers without the technical or physical skills for alpine skiing here's a great alternative, available to nearly everybody, as it doesn't require the same amount of training and technical ability. A wide variety of nordic skiing disciplines exist, like cross-country skiing, where sealskins are used to “walk” on the snow without sliding, as sealskins allow great grip on every type of snow.
Alpine skiing
During the winter it is possible to organize alpine skiing days in the surrounding mountains, using our farmhouse as a starting and/or end point for your excursions.
Fat Bike
Thanks to the ease with which it is possible to reach the lodge during the winter it is possible to organize fat-bike trips starting from località Arnoga and reaching our lodge. The length of the route is about 5.5 km.
