Suggestions
The alpine hut can be reached by car with a permit requested from the Municipality of Croviana.
Plan your hike in advance: check the weather forecast, the trail you'll follow, and the opening hours of any lift facilities if included in your route. Remember that trail conditions in the mountains depend on natural events, environmental changes, and weather conditions. Always get up-to-date information about the route before setting out
Leave details of your itinerary and estimated return time with someone, and carry your mobile phone with you
Follow signs and markers along the route: Stelvio National Park signs, red and white SAT signs, and red and white trail markings on rocks or trees
Book your meal or overnight stay in huts or mountain dairies (malghe) in advance
Never leave waste at high altitude and, if possible, avoid leaving it even at huts or dairies you visit
If you spot wildlife along the way, stay on the trail, don’t get too close, avoid shouting, and keep your dog on a leash to prevent it from chasing and scaring the animals
Starting point
Locality Cave di Monclassico
Directions
Starting from the locality of Cave di Monclassico, you follow a long but easy forest road that climbs with a steady and moderate incline through dense spruce, fir, and beech woods. At the end of the wooded section, some peaks of the Brenta Dolomites begin to appear above the tree tops. Shortly after, the forest thins out, giving way to wide, green pastures where Malga Sadron is located. This alpine hut is active, so you can observe cows grazing on the well-maintained meadows and drinking water from nearby streams. Take a break to enjoy the panoramic view of the sunny side of the middle Val di Sole and the mountains rising from the Val di Rabbi. The return is along the same route.
Public transportation
You can reach the village of Monclassico by taking the MALE' - FOLGARIDA - MADONNA DI CAMPIGLIO train (download the outbound and return timetables).
How to get there

Where to park
