Classic snowshoeing to the majestic Mount Roen
<p>Mount Roen is a classic in both summer and winter. The never-excessive inclines, excellent huts along the way, and 360-degree views make it a must!</p>
<p>From the convenient parking area at Mendola Pass, follow the well-marked SAT 500 trail steadily to the summit. Being a popular destination, the trail to follow is always well marked and the snow groomed. The Mezzavia and Malga di Romeno refuges are always open and excellent spots for lunch or a simple snack at altitude.</p>

Author’s recommendation
Those who do not have snowshoes can rent them from Nolo Ski Gianni at the start of the Roen lifts. From the pass, continue for 1 km following the trail signs and then park near the ski lift.
Those who want to reduce the elevation gain of the hike can choose to take the first section up to the Mezzavia Refuge by chairlift.

Rifugio Ristorante MezzaviaSafety information
Please note that the practicability of the itineraries in a mountain environment is strictly linked to the contingent conditions and is therefore influenced by natural phenomena, environmental changes and weather conditions. For this reason, the information contained in this page may have changed. Before leaving for a tour, make sure the path you will approach is still accessible by contacting the owner of the mountain hut, the alpine guides or the visitor centres of the nature parks, the info offices of the local tourist board.Tips and suggestions
Always consult the avalanche bulletin here before embarking on a snow hike!
Roadbook
From the chairlift, take the track on the right of the slope that climbs into the forest to reach the Mezzavia Refuge. From here, proceed following the path with SAT 500 signs that climbs alternating between medium-steep sections and flatter stretches to then reach in another hour's walk a wide, soelggiated clearing where the Malga di Romeno stands. After a well-deserved break on the terrace or inside in front of the warmth of the stove, you continue for the final, more challenging section.
From the Malga you still follow the SAT 500 trail marker, which immediately becomes very steep. The trail narrows and winds among the characteristic mugho trees that distinguish the high altitude slope of Mount Roen. The fatigue of this last pora of walking that separates the Malga di Romeno from the summit of Mount Roen is then repaid by the incredible panorama overlooking the Adige Valley and the Dolomites.
The return is made by the same route as the outward journey.
