    The Ruffrè ponds in winter, covered with ice and snow, are even more picturesque!

    Author’s recommendation

    Near the ponds there is the Agritur Mas da la Val farm, which serves typical dishes from the Val di Non.

    The route passes near the Coflari Ranch riding stable, which in winter organizes suggestive carriage rides and horse excursions in the snow.

    Safety information

    The route does not present particular technical difficulties. However, it requires confidence with snowy environments. Alternatively, we always recommend relying on a mountain guide in one of our guided winter excursions: book here easily online!

    Tips and suggestions

    Before setting out on a snow hike always check the avalanche bulletin here!

    Roadbook

    From the parking lot at Campi Golf area, keep to the right and take the path that also shows the white-red markers for Ruffrè.

    The route descends into the forest following a forest road. You arrive at a clearing where the sports field of the village of Ruffrè is also located. Continue downhill, turning slightly left until you can see beyond the forest on the right the Coflari Ranch riding stable. Continue following the beaten track and you reach the small stream that feeds the Ruffrè ponds. You have now reached the typical farmhouses of this little village and the characteristic ponds are already visible.

    After circling the lakes, return by following the same route back.
