Safety information

When setting out on an excursion in the mountains, we suggest you:

choose a route suitable for your fitness level. When in doubt, contact the Alpine Guides or our Information Offices;
get ready for your trip by checking the weather forecast, the route you will follow and the times for the cable cars, ski or chair lifts, if you will be using them. Remember that the feasibility of routes in a mountain environment is closely linked to the contingent conditions and therefore depends on natural phenomena, changes in the environment and the weather conditions. For this reason, make sure you are well informed about the route and conditions before setting out;
tell someone about your route and what time you expect to return, and take your mobile phone with you;
pay attention to the directions and signs that you find along the way: Stelvio Park signs, red and white SAT signs and red and white painted marks on rocks or trees;
raise the alarm by calling 112 in the event of an accident;
book the malga or refuge where you intend to stop to eat or sleep in advance;
never leave litter in the mountains and, if possible, avoid leaving your rubbish at mountain refuges or malgas that you visit;
if you spot wild animals along the way, we invite you to stay on the path, not go too near, not shout and to keep your dog on a lead, to stop it instinctively chasing and scaring the animal.

Starting point

Loc. Coler

Public transportation

You can reach Val di Rabbi with the Trentino Trasporti bus service from Malè (download bus times out and back) to the stop in Rabbi Bagni. From there you will get to Coler in about 40 minutes on foot, or when it is running, with the Stelviobus Rabbi shuttle bus.

How to get there

Take the S.S. 42 state road to the town of Caldes and then the third exit off the roundabout (coming from Trento). Shortly after, take the right-hand fork for Val di Rabbi and continue along Via Nazionale to the roundabout. Here take the second exit onto the S.P. 86 provincial road to Masi Casna, where you turn right for Piazzola. Continue along this road until you come to Coler.

Val di Rabbi is closed to traffic in the summer. Leave the car in the car park at Plaze dei Forni and continue to Coler with the Stelviobus Rabbi shuttle bus.

Where to park

Paid parking in Coler. When the valley is shut to traffic, leave your car in the car park at Plaze dei Forni and continue to Coler with the Stelviobus Rabbi shuttle bus.

When setting out on an excursion in the mountains, it is always a good idea to:

wear hiking boots suitable for loose, uneven or wet terrain, long trousers, a cap and sunglasses;
put a waterproof jacket, fleece sweater, hat and gloves, sun cream and a minimum change of clothing into your backpack;
take a bottle of water and snacks with you for an instant energy boost (dried fruit, energy bars or chocolate);
remember your camera or mobile phone for immortalising the views and favourite sights. If you like, you can then share them on social media at the hashtags #visitvaldisole.
