Snowshoe tour through the forest to Alp Zeznina. The snowshoe tour starts in Lavin, a village with 200 inhabitants. Crossing the Inn on the bridge, the circular tour starts on the left in the direction of Vallatscha. Across the meadow, the trail quickly dips into the forest. It climbs up to Las Charbuneras in the side valley and continues over the Aua da Zeznina stream. A few hairpin bends follow up to the highest point of the tour, Alp Zeznina Dadoura. At over 1800 metres, it is worth taking a break. The way back is from Alp Zeznina via Muotta Preir and Pradafans. Here the trail slowly leaves the forest and enters a clearing. Via Laviner Suot, the last stretch runs close to the River Inn and parallel to the path back to Lavin.
