High difficulty excursion that reaches the splendid Malghet di Mezzana Lakes and the Croce della Pace with a spectacular view of the entire Val di Sole.
Challenging itinerary that, first on a forest road, then on a comfortable mule track, reaches the first of the two Malghet di Mezzana Lakes. After crossing a dense forest of Swiss pine and larches and finally a partly equipped rocky ridge, you reach the summit of Monte Gardene, from which you can enjoy a spectacular view of the entire Valley.
To face a mountain hike we suggest you to:
if you notice wild animals along the route, we invite you to stay on the path you are walking, do not approach too much, do not shout and keep your dog on a leash, to avoid it instinctively chasing them and frightening them
After leaving the car at Marilleva 1400, walk to Residence Artuick and take the SAT 202 path, which initially follows a forest road and then a mule track, leading to the first of the two Malghet di Mezzana ponds. Downstream of the first lake, take the slightly uphill path to reach the upper lake. Above the first of the two ponds, take the path towards Croce della Pace and after crossing a forest of Swiss pine and larches and a steep grassy slope, you reach a partly equipped rocky ridge that leads to the summit of Monte Gardene and then to the Cross. The return is planned on the same route.
Alternatively, from Marilleva 1400 it is possible to ride the lift to Malga Panciana (check here the lift opening times) and take the SAT 201 path to Rifugio Orti. From here, continue on the path until you meet the SAT 202 path that leads to the ponds and then to the Cross. The return is planned on the same route.
You can reach Marilleva 1400 by the Trentino Trasporti bus line MALE' - MEZZANA - MARILLEVA 1400 (download departure and return timetables).
