Safety information

Rules for mountain hikes:

The passability of trails in a mountain environment is strictly linked to current conditions and therefore depends on natural phenomena, environmental changes, and weather conditions. For this reason, make sure to get good information about the route and its conditions before you start. You can do this by contacting the nearest Information Office.
If you plan to reach an alpine hut or refuge, make sure they are open, and if you intend to stop for food or sleep, call them in advance to book.
Leave details about your itinerary and always carry your mobile phone with you.
In case of an accident, call the number 112.
Never leave waste in the high mountains, and if possible, avoid leaving it at the refuges or alpine huts you visit.
If you spot wild animals along the route, please stay on the trail you are following, do not get too close, do not shout, and keep your dog on a leash to prevent it from instinctively chasing them and frightening them.

Starting point

Folgarida

Directions

The excursion takes place in the Folgarida area within the Adamello Presanella mountain group and leads to the Malghetto di Almazzago, an alpine hut where you can find friendly animals like goats, sheep, and donkeys. The view over the Val di Sole once you reach the destination is definitely spectacular: from here, you can clearly see the village of Dimaro and the entire lower valley. Getting to this place is fairly simple and there are no major difficulties, but mountain shoes are necessary since access is via a mountain path and not a road. You start from the Folgarida cable car parking lot, next to which the trail enters the forest. Halfway through the route, you cross the Rio Rotian, and after about 30 minutes, you arrive at the Malghetto di Almazzago. We recommend bringing a packed lunch and enjoying it in front of this panorama!

The itinerary can also be done starting from Malghetto di Mestriago, which is located on the road to Marilleva 1400.

Public transportation

You can reach the starting point of the itinerary by the TRENTO - MALE' - MEZZANA train (download the outbound and return schedules) up to Dimaro. To get to the Folgarida cable car square, you can take the Malé - Folgarida - Madonna di Campiglio bus line (download the outbound and return schedules) to Folgarida.

Where to park
