Suggestions

We recommend you to spend a few minutes at Malga del Dosso, to admire the unique view of the valley that you can enjoy from here. If you're lucky and the day is particularly clear, you may even spot the "G. Larcher" Refuge, overlooked by the peaks of Nera and Marmotta and the Passo Vedretta Alta.

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. The GPX tracks are purely indicative of the route but cannot be followed without a prior assessment of the slopes at the time of the excursion.

From January 1st, 2022, it is mandatory for ALL skiers to have an insurance policy covering 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 alcohol.

Directions

From the Church of San Vigilio, follow the signs for Valpiana and hike along the fairly steep road until the end of the village. From here, put on your skis and follow the groomed road accessible by snowcat to reach the well-known locality of Sant'Antonio and its shrine. Then continue to ascend until you reach the characteristic Malga del Doss. The descent is planned along the same route as the ascent.
