Safety information

To safely enjoy a hike in the mountains, we recommend:
  • choosing a trail that matches your level of preparation. If in doubt, contact the Alpine Guides or our Information Offices
  • preparing your hike in advance: check the weather forecast, study the route you'll take, and verify the opening hours of any lift systems, if your itinerary includes them. Keep in mind that trail conditions in the mountains depend heavily on current circumstances such as natural events, environmental changes, and weather. Always get up-to-date information before setting off
  • informing someone about your route and estimated return time, and taking your phone with you
  • paying attention to the signs and trail markers along the way: Stelvio National Park signs, SAT white and red markers, and red and white paint marks on rocks or trees
  • booking in advance any malga or mountain hut where you plan to eat or sleep
  • never leaving trash in high-altitude areas; if possible, avoid leaving it even at the huts or malghe you visit
  • if you spot wild animals along the trail, stay on the path, don’t get too close, avoid shouting, and keep your dog on a leash to prevent it from instinctively chasing or scaring them

Starting point

Vermiglio

Directions

Starting from the characteristic village of Vermiglio, near the town hall, you take the SAT 126 trail and climb up to Malga Saviana. Continuing along the path, you will enter the wild Val Saviana, crossing flowery meadows and larch forests until you reach a fork that directs you towards Cima Boai and Val Comasine. Once at the summit, take a break to reward yourself for the effort by admiring the splendid view from up there: the entire Val di Sole, the peaks of the Brenta, and those of the Ortles-Cevedale group rise all around you. From the summit, return to the fork and head towards Val di Peio, crossing the moraine basin of La Valletta to reach Malga Mason and then Malga Val Comasine. Between these two alpine huts, we suggest visiting the ancient centuries-old larches that will amaze you with their majesty. From the hut, descend along a dirt road to the Val Comasine mines. From here, following the Miners' Trail (Sentiero dei Minatori), you reach La Colem, a panoramic point overlooking the upper Val di Sole and Val di Peio, before returning to Vermiglio.
