Monte Macaion sulla neve
Beautiful route on the #snow, although very challenging for the ascent to Macaion. Very difficult to do if there is a lot of snow and fresh, instead at certain times, like in January 2023, the snow is now old and very beaten by the passage of snowshoers, so the trail is all passable. Ideal by e-fat bike, as some of the climbs are very steep, but it can also be done by regular fat bike with a few more pushing sections.
From the parking lot you arrive on snow-covered forestry to Tret Lake. From here a partly challenging trail starts that leads to the forest road that climbs to Macaion. If the forest road is beaten you can follow it, but usually you have to follow the track on the trail, with some pushing to the top of Macaion. From here incredible views of the entire Adige Valley from Merano to Bolzano and the Dolomites.
You descend on the fun trail (with ascent) to the lake and then take trail 500, also beaten only by snowshoes, to the Schoenegg cross, with beautiful panoramic views.
From here, still on snow-covered trail, return to the parking lot.
Caution, venture on snowshoe trails only if equipped with excellent driving technique!
