A pleasant hike through the quiet forest to reach Malga Alta di Fazzon, starting from Marilleva 1400.
This trip is a medium-easy hike and takes about 2 hours to walk. Once you reach the malga, where you will enjoy a beautiful view of the upper Val di Peio and the Ortles Cevedale Group, you can relax and enjoy a local zero-kilometer dish in the peaceful meadows, accompanied by the sounds of flowing water and cowbells. Your children will find a real farm with goats, sheep, pigs, and cows."
Starting from the church in Marilleva 1400, descend to the left along the paved road. Continue descending for about one hundred meters. Before the hairpin bend, turn left onto a small road that goes under the ski slope, following the signs for Lago dei Caprioli-Malga Alta di Pellizzano-Via delle Malghe. Proceed along the road, which gradually becomes a dirt road. The forest road, with a gentle ascent, passes near a picnic area and crosses a bridge over the small Rio Lores. After nine hundred meters, you reach a fork and continue on the dirt road to the left. Five hundred meters beyond the previous fork, you reach a four-way intersection where you continue uphill, following the sign for Malga Alta di Pellizzano. At the next fork, follow the sign for Malga Alta di Pellizzano, which leads onto a trail. This route is part of the “Strada Laresa” and the “Via delle Malghe,” a long path that connects the most important malgas (alpine dairy farms) in the Val di Sole mountains. The trail then becomes a dirt road with a reduced gradient, crosses another stream, and near the fork for Malga Artuik, it begins to descend. You will soon reach Malga Alta di Pellizzano.
If you wish, you can follow the SAT 203 trail and continue towards Lago dei Caprioli.
