Your experience in brief
Experience the magic of winter at Corno alle Scale!
Corno Express allows you to reach the slopes directly from the centre of Bologna in a comfortable and sustainable way.
The package includes the train and bus to reach Corno alle Scale from Bologna (and return) and the opportunity to take part in a snowshoe hike with a GAE guide.
If you need to hire snowshoes, select the price with hire and collect your snowshoes once you arrive on the slopes!
I have my own snowshoes, can I participate? Of course! Just select the price without rental.
Please note that snowshoes are compulsory for this type of experience.
If the conditions will not allow for the snow experience, the activity will be converted into an exciting high-altitude trek in the Corno alle Scale area, which will follow the same route as the snowshoeing.
