Safety information

Rules for mountain walks:

  • The passability of routes in a mountainous environment is strictly related to current conditions and therefore depends on natural phenomena, environmental changes, and weather conditions. For this reason, check the route and its conditions well before leaving. You can do this by contacting the nearest Information Office
  • If you plan to reach a malga or refuge, make sure they are open and, if you intend to stop for food or overnight stay, call them in advance to book
  • Leave information about your route and always carry your mobile phone
  • In case of an accident call number 112
  • Never leave waste at altitude and, if possible, avoid leaving it at the refuges or malgas you visit
  • If you see wild animals along the route, we invite you to stay on the path you are walking, do not approach too much, do not shout and keep your dog on a leash to avoid the instinct to chase and scare them

Starting point

Mas de Mez - Bolentina

Directions

From the small and characteristic village of Bolentina, in the lower Val di Sole, just above the town of Malé, follow the signs for the locality Mas de Mez. Once you reach the locality, continuing for about 500 meters on a comfortable dirt road, you reach the parking lot from which the walk starts. From here, follow the forest road that leads you to the malga, which you will reach in about 1 hour and 45 minutes. For the descent, if you want to make a circular route, you can follow the SAT 119B path returning to the parking lot. Alternatively, take the same forest road back to the starting point.

Public transportation

You can reach the village of Bolentina by the MALÈ - BOLENTINA bus line (download the departure and return timetables).

How to get there

Take the SS42 up to Terzolas and then take the right exit into Via Nazionale towards the town center. At the roundabout, continue straight towards Malé and after crossing the bridge over the Rabbies stream, keep going along Via Trento and then turn left towards Bolentina.

Where to park

You can leave your car in the locality Mas de Mez above the village of Bolentina.
