The tour starts at the Orden car park, opposite Villa Baldini. The beginning of the route is mainly flat on the small road until Salecina. After the bridge, the trail turns left off the the winter hiking trail, well marked but not paved, through the snow-covered forest to Lägh da Cavloc. From the lake, the trail continues towards the Fornotal to Plan Canin without any significant ascent.

For the way back, you can either choose the same route or strap the snowshoes onto your backpack and follow the winter hiking trail back to the starting point.

Author’s recommendation

As the Ristaurante Cavloc is not open in winter, it is advisable to pack a snack...
