On Friday, February 28, 2025 , the Biosphaera Guides organize a snowshoe hike on Mount Katz, on the occasion of Schella Martz.
Schella Martz, which translated into Italian means "Play March", is an ancient ritual of the Plateau to awaken spring and greet the winter season.
Starting from Val Giardini, where the writer Mario Rigoni Stern lived, you will climb Mount Katz, the place where the end of winter was celebrated in the last century.
Thanks to some reading, the guide will immerse you in the evocative atmosphere of this festival, admiring the splendid views of the Asiago basin; it will then end by going down to the center to watch the celebrations.
The excursion will be led by Luca Grotto, Environmental Hiking Guide and historian.
In case of no snow, the excursion will still take place, without the use of snowshoes.
