Folgarida - Malghetto di Almazzago

Safety information

Rules for mountain walks:

• The passability of mountain routes is strictly linked to the current conditions and therefore depends on natural phenomena, environmental changes, and weather conditions. For this reason, get good information about the route and its conditions before setting off. You can do this by contacting the Information Office nearest to you.
• If you plan to reach a mountain hut or refuge, make sure they are open and if you intend to stay to eat or sleep, call them in advance to book.
• Leave details of your itinerary and always carry your phone with you.
• In case of an accident, call 112.
• Never leave waste in the highlands and, if possible, avoid leaving it at refuges or mountain huts you visit.
• If you spot wild animals along the route, we invite you to stay on the path you are following, do not approach too closely, do not shout, and keep your dog on a leash to avoid it instinctively chasing and frightening them.

Starting point

Directions

The route winds through the Folgarida area in the Adamello Presanella mountain group and leads to the Malghetto di Almazzago, a mountain hut where you can find friendly animals such as goats, sheep, and donkeys. The view of the Val di Sole once you reach the destination is definitely spectacular: from here you can clearly see the town of Dimaro and the entire lower valley. Getting to this place is fairly simple and there are no major difficulties, but mountain shoes are necessary as access is via a mountain path and not a road. The route starts from the Folgarida cable car parking lot, next to which the path enters the forest. Halfway through, you cross the Rio Rotian and after about 30 minutes you arrive at the Malghetto di Almazzago. We recommend bringing a packed lunch and enjoying it facing this panorama!

The itinerary can also be done starting from Malghetto di Mestriago which is located on the road to Marilleva 1400.
