Safety information

To safely enjoy a hike in the mountains, we recommend:

choosing a trail that matches your level of preparation. If in doubt, contact the Alpine Guides or our Information Offices
preparing your hike in advance: check the weather forecast, study the route you'll take, and verify the opening hours of any lift systems, if your itinerary includes them. Keep in mind that trail conditions in the mountains depend heavily on current circumstances such as natural events, environmental changes, and weather. Always get up-to-date information before setting off
informing someone about your route and estimated return time, and taking your phone with you
paying attention to the signs and trail markers along the way: Stelvio National Park signs, SAT white and red markers, and red and white paint marks on rocks or trees
booking in advance any malga or mountain hut where you plan to eat or sleep
never leaving trash in high-altitude areas; if possible, avoid leaving it even at the huts or malghe you visit
if you spot wild animals along the trail, stay on the path, don’t get too close, avoid shouting, and keep your dog on a leash to prevent it from instinctively chasing or scaring them

Starting point

Loc. Fontanino

Directions

Starting from the locality of Fontanino, you reach the emerald-colored Lake Pian Palù in about half an hour. Once at Malga di Celentino, take SAT trail 144, which is initially narrow and winding, then becomes wider, leading into the fascinating Val Pudria—where you may encounter friendly cows grazing in the meadows. From Baito Val Pudria at 2,147 meters, continue towards Valle Alta. Once there, follow SAT trail 144A to reach a stunning panoramic terrace overlooking Val del Monte and Lake Pian Palù.

You then cross a steep grassy slope along the side of Val Comiciolo and traverse some rocky sections to reach the Baito di Val Comiciolo. For the return, descend the winding path until you intersect with trail 137, which leads to Malga Celentino and then back to Fontanino.
