A moderately difficult hike within the Stelvio National Park leading to Malga Tremenesca Alta.
Malga Tremenesca is located at 2,004 meters above sea level and offers a beautiful view over the Val di Rabbi and, directly opposite, Malga Monte Sole Alta. The trail leading to the malga is not particularly difficult; it just requires a bit of physical fitness and a strong desire to discover new places, passing by traditional alpine huts and green pastures. Once you reach the malga, take a short break to catch your breath, enjoy the panorama, and greet the friendly cows grazing in the alpine meadows.

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
