We will reach the Piani di Artavaggio following the path that goes up from the village of Moggio and we will begin our trekking with snowshoes. This excursion is not very demanding as we will cross the Piani di Artavaggio enjoying a very suggestive view on all the surrounding mountains, in particular the Resegone, the Grigne, the Zuccone Campelli, the Pizzo dei Tre Signori, the Monte Sodadura (elevation gain: 1.056 m)

The snowpack will allow us to experiment with techniques to photograph in such special lighting conditions, playing with backlighting and using filters.

We return in the afternoon to Moggio following the same path as the outward journey.

Meeting point: in the village of Moggio at the cable car parking area at 9.00 a.m.

The program may undergo changes in the course in relation to the weather conditions.
