A route that will let you appreciate high-altitude nature from where you can admire the Ortles Cevedale Group and the Adamello Presanella Group.

Challenging route of medium difficulty that leads, through a solitary and secluded area, to Cima Cadinel. The route is characterized by different environments: the wooded trail leading to Malga Campo, where the view towards the west opens on Cevedale and the Redival-Boai subgroup, continues uphill among larches, in a wild valley until reaching the grassy terraces of Baito del Cadinel. This peaceful place invites a longer rest. Then the path goes along grassy slopes to reach Lago Cadinel and then the Passo Cadinel. The trail continues up to Cima Cadinel, a wonderful panoramic point from which you can observe Val di Peio and the Ortles-Cevedale chain where Vioz stands out among all.

Suggestions

The last section that leads from the pass to Cima Cadinel features simple rock jumps, but they are somewhat exposed.
We suggest taking a break at Malga Campo to enjoy traditional dishes. In case of bad weather, the Baito del Cadinel bivouac is a good shelter.

Safety information

To undertake a mountain hike we suggest you:

choose a route suitable for your fitness level. If in doubt, contact the Mountain Guides or our Information Offices
prepare your hike: check the weather forecast, the route you will follow, and the operating hours of lifts, if your itinerary requires their use. Remember that route accessibility in mountain environments is strictly linked to current conditions and depends on natural phenomena, environmental changes, and weather conditions. Therefore, get good information about the route and its conditions before setting off
leave information about your itinerary and approximate return time and carry your mobile phone
pay attention to the indications and signage you find on the route: Stelvio Park signs, white and red SAT signs, and red and white markings on stones or trees
book in advance the hut or refuge where you intend to stop for food or sleep
never leave waste at altitude and, if possible, avoid leaving it at refuges or huts you visit
if you spot wild animals along the route, we invite you to stay on the trail you are following, do not approach too closely, do not shout, and keep your dog on a leash to avoid it instinctively chasing them and frightening them
