A scenic hike to one of the most popular alpine huts in Val di Rabbi, with the opportunity to reach the spectacular Saènt waterfalls in the Stelvio National Park.
Malga Stablasolo is a green oasis in the Stelvio National Park. Water, panoramic views, and nature are the key features of this hike, which is also suitable for children. We suggest extending the hike by about 40 minutes to reach the Saènt waterfalls and be mesmerized by the power and roar of their waters.

Suggestions

The hike is suitable for children but not accessible with strollers. If you visit the waterfalls, use caution as the ground nearby is slippery.

Safety information

When setting out on an excursion in the mountains, we suggest you:
  • choose a route suitable for your fitness level. When in doubt, contact the Alpine Guides or our Information Offices;
  • get ready for your trip by checking the weather forecast, the route you will follow and the times for the cable cars or chair lifts, if you will be using them. Remember that the feasibility of routes in a mountain environment is closely linked to the contingent conditions and therefore depends on natural phenomena, changes in the environment and the weather conditions. For this reason, make sure you are well informed about the route and conditions before setting out;
  • tell someone about your route and what time you expect to return, and take your mobile phone with you;
  • pay attention to the directions and signs that you find along the way: Stelvio Park signs, red and white SAT signs and red and white painted marks on rocks or trees;
  • raise the alarm by calling 112 in the event of an accident;
  • book the malga or refuge where you intend to stop to eat or sleep in advance;
  • never leave litter in the mountains and, if possible, avoid leaving your rubbish at mountain refuges or malgas that you visit;
  • if you spot wild animals along the way, we invite you to stay on the path, not go too near, not shout and to keep your dog on a lead, to stop it instinctively chasing and scaring the animal.

Starting point

Loc. Coler

Directions

Starting from Colèr, accessible by car or during the summer months by the Stelviobus Rabbi - Line 1, follow the signs for trail 106, which keeps you on the right side of Val Saènt, following the Rabbies stream. The stream is calm in the first part with little incline and gradually becomes steeper as you climb. At some point, you will come to a characteristic wooden bridge on your left. You can cross it to reach Malga Stablasolo within a few hundred meters or you can choose to extend your hike by about forty minutes to admire the Saént Waterfalls.

In the first case, you will reach the malga in a few minutes, while in the second case, which we strongly and enthusiastically recommend, you will face one of the most beautiful postcards of Val di Sole, with the waterfall’s current showing you the tremendous power of the water. After reaching the last waterfall, cross the wooden bridge and climb a few dozen meters to a rest point where you can enjoy the beautiful panorama of the valley and the peaks opposite you. From here, continue left along trail no. 106, which will first guide you to the Stablet Visitor Center (home of the marmot) and then to the malga.

At Malga Stablasolo you must taste the homemade specialties and buy the delicious cheese in the sales point. Afterwards, descend back to the valley along the forest road that leads to the parking lot.
