Access and parking

From Trivero (Valdilana) go up along SP 232 Panoramica Zegna until you reach Bocchetto Luvera and the Argimonia inn parking lot. The route starts from the Argimonia inn parking lot, put on snowshoes and set off. The return is to the same starting point.

At the Inn, it is possible, by reservation, to rent snowshoes

Route

The trail includes an initial section through the woods to Bocchetta di Margosio, where on clear days there are incomparable views of the Monte Rosa massif. The loop trail can be walked in either direction to enjoy different views depending on the direction of travel and is suitable for families with children given also the length of only 2 km for 100 meters of positive elevation gain.

A few meters from the inn you will spot the path to follow that, through an initial section in the woods, leads to Bocchetta di Margosio, where there is a kiosk selling local cheeses and from where, on a clear day, there is an incomparable view of the Monte Rosa massif. A stop is recommended here to enjoy the view and to take a few photographs to keep.
 You then descend again by the outward path but turn right toward Alpe Margosio, where in summer the herds that produce the alp's cheeses ascend, and then proceed for the return, turning left, toward Bocchetto Luvera along the comfortable and wide forest track.
 You can walk along the loop trail in either direction to enjoy different views depending on the direction of travel. It is suitable for families with children given also the length of only 2 km for 100 meters of positive elevation gain.

Check the snow conditions and consider that the winter mountain, in all its forms, is a potentially difficult and dangerous terrain. Adequate experience, training and preparation is required.
