Moderate to difficult route that crosses high-altitude grassy pastures reaching Cimon de Bolentina and along the ridge, Piz de Montes.
Pleasant hike that along a forest road leads, with a constant slope, to the pastures of Plaza Marendaia and then to Malga di Bolentina Alta. From here, more demanding and easier sections alternate until you reach Cimon di Bolentina, from which you can admire the majestic Dolomites of Brenta, the peaks of Adamello - Presanella, and Maddalene. Continuing along the ridge, you reach Piz de Montes. The return is planned along the same outbound route. Alternatively, it is possible to close the loop by continuing along trail 119 to the junction with SAT 120, which is followed to the fork with the sign for Malga Bolentina. From here, you return to trail SAT 119.
To undertake a mountain hike we suggest you:
From Plaza Longa, take the dirt road that crosses the grassy pastures of Plaza Marendaia and Malga de la Cros and once you have passed them, take the SAT 119 trail which climbs along a ridge up to Malga di Bolentina Alta. Follow the same trail up to the Cimon de Bolentina, from which you can enjoy a spectacular view of the mountain ranges embracing the Val di Sole, and along the ridge line you finally reach the Piz de Montes. It is possible to complete the loop by continuing along trail 119 up to the junction with SAT 120, which descends towards Malga Plaza dei Cogni. From here, follow the signs for Malga di Bolentina.
You can reach the village of Bolentina by train TRENTO - MALE' - MEZZANA to Malé and then by the Trentino Trasporti line bus MALÉ - BOLENTINA (download departure and return schedules).
Follow the SS42 to Terzolas, then take the right exit onto Via Nazionale towards the town center. At the roundabout, continue straight towards Malé, and after crossing the bridge over the Rabbies stream, continue along Via Trento then turn left towards Bolentina.
