An easy difficulty hike that develops just above the village of Bolentina on narrow paths up to the charming Malga di Bolentina Bassa and then Mas de la Cros where you can enjoy an unobstructed view of the entire valley.
Ski mountaineering ascent that with about 400 meters of elevation gain leads from the village of Bolentina to the Mas de Mez locality and with a sunny and not too demanding route, allows you to reach the Malga Bassa of Bolentina and then the recently built small hut Mas de la Cros. From here it is possible to enjoy a spectacular and panoramic view of the nearby Val di Non, Val di Rabbi, and the underlying Val di Sole.
The stability of the snow cover is subject to sudden and unpredictable changes. Always check the avalanche bulletin (on www.meteotrentino.it or other sites if available for your area) and obtain very detailed information regarding the current weather conditions at the Val di Sole Alpine Guides Office. The gpx tracks are purely indicative of the route, but cannot be followed without a prior assessment of the slopes at the moment you intend to make the excursion.
From January 1, 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.
Arriving by car at Bolentina, pass through the inhabited center towards Mas de Mez and at the first hairpin turn, park in a lay-by beside the road. From here, with skis on your feet, take the narrow path on the right towards Malga Bassa through stretches of dense larch woods covered with snow and wide sunny spaces where you can enjoy the slight warmth of the winter sun. First, you reach the Malga Bassa of Bolentina, and then the recently built small hut of Mas de la Cros. The descent is planned along the Piazza Merendaia locality and then along the path that leads back to the starting point.
You can reach Bolentina with the Trentino Trasporti line bus MALÈ - BOLENTINA (download the schedules for outbound and return).
Take the SS42 and at the junction for the inhabited center of Terzolas, exit to the right and follow the road to the roundabout for Val di Rabbi. At the roundabout, take the third exit and after passing the arch of the town of Malè, turn right and follow the road to Bolentina.
You can leave your car on the lay-by after the first hairpin turn on the road towards Mas de Mez.
