Mount Roen is a classic in both summer and winter. The never-excessive inclines, excellent huts along the way, and 360-degree views make it a must!

From the convenient parking area at Mendola Pass, follow the well-marked SAT 500 trail steadily to the summit. Being a popular destination, the trail to follow is always well marked and the snow groomed. The Mezzavia and Malga di Romeno refuges are always open and excellent spots for lunch or a simple snack at altitude.
Those who do not have snowshoes can rent them from Nolo Ski Gianni at the start of the Roen lifts. From the pass, continue for 1 km following the trail signs and then park near the ski lift.
Those who want to reduce the elevation gain of the hike can choose to take the first section up to the Mezzavia Refuge by chairlift.
