In 1996, the first time we went in winter Fork Maraia, the City of Refuge Carpi was closed. 15 years ago, the shelters and pastures in the district that offered hospitality during the cold season were few, and Maraia was the realm of touring, we found that in fact in front of the shelter regularly swept by the wind. Some time later, with the changing fashions and the extension to various structures of the prospect of developing tourism in winter to ski, the shelter opened, and since then we have returned on numerous occasions, five in the last three years. Using the lift that goes up to Col de Varda, you have to walk for several kilometers, but access to the refuge is almost all in slight slope. The result is a commitment on the trip, and a hilly landscape of Popena reduced, and part of Marmarole Cadini Misurina very interesting. This is why every year we dedicate a Sunday to Carpi (among other things, the move is just a short drive). A few years ago, had tried to beat down the road from the refuge for Val d'Onge up in Val Marzon, obtaining a long toboggan run initially sought. In 2009/10, however, the road was threatened by an avalanche, reflect on doing not to encourage the risk that can hide even in a simple alpine road. The Carpi, then, is a destination for a winter tour of the most comfortable of the district: of course you can "spice" up and down from the steep Misurina beaten path (used but, unfortunately, from skiing and sledding. ..) that leads to Col de Varda. In so doing, it adds an hour to climb down and something less, the great military road that cuts through the scree of Pogofa. Depends on the day: it is certain that come and go in Misurina walk from the hiking trip something stronger, but is by no means mandatory.
