Itinerary
From Alta Badia, you’ll snowshoe up to the Pralongia high plateau, where you’ll enjoy fantastic views of the surrounding mountains. Take a moment to breath in the pure mountain air and soak up the unforgettable sights around you. This area is in fact surrounded by various mountains, the most famous being Marmolada (3,343m / 10,964'), the Queen of the Dolomites. This towering giant is not only the highest peak in the region but also home to the largest remaining glacier. The vistas stretch from Pelmo to Civetta, Piz Boè, Tofana di Rozes, and La Varella, just to name a few. Although it's a relatively small plateau, it offers a sense of vastness and grandeur that will leave you in awe.
