Ski mountaineering excursion with initially challenging and then steady ascent to the Monte Sole mountain hut.

Pleasant ascent with ski mountaineering on a comfortable forest road partly groomed by a snowcat which, after crossing the Cercen bridge, first reaches Malga Fassa and then Malga Monte Sole. Upon reaching the hut, after traveling about 7 kilometers and 850 meters of altitude gain, you cannot miss the opportunity to taste delicious typical dishes with a spectacular view of the Val di Rabbi and the surrounding peaks.

Safety information

The stability of the snowpack is subject to sudden and unpredictable changes. Always consult the avalanche bulletin (on www.meteotrentino.it or other available websites for your area) and gather detailed information about the current weather conditions from the Alpine Guides Office of Val di Sole. GPX tracks are purely indicative of the route but cannot be followed without a prior evaluation of the slopes at the time of the excursion.

As of January 1st, 2022, it is mandatory for ALL skiers to have an insurance policy that covers liability for damages or injuries caused to third parties. The revision of the mountain safety code requires all minors to wear helmets and prohibits skiers from consuming alcoholic beverages.

From here, after crossing the Cercen bridge, the ascent continues, and after a few switchbacks, you reach Malga Fassa.
