Self-guided trek between mountain huts and refuges in the Stelvio Park

Arrival in Val di Sole

Welcome to Val di Sole, a pristine corner of nature where your journey will begin. After checking in to a welcoming 3* hotel, you will have time to relax and enjoy the mountain atmosphere before the adventure that awaits you.

Discovering Monte Sole

+ 800m | - 0m | 4h00 | 6km

After an energizing breakfast, you will board a public transport to reach the suggestive Val di Rabbi. Here your adventure begins with an immediately adrenaline-filled emotion: crossing the Tibetan bridge, suspended for 100 meters above the Rio Ragaiolo waterfall. Once you have crossed the bridge, you will enter the woods, breathing in the crisp mountain air until you reach a picturesque mountain hut. If you are an early riser, you could witness the traditional processing of milk! After a well-deserved break, the journey continues along the gentle slopes of Monte Sole to the mountain hut where you will spend the night. Here, at 2,048 meters above sea level, you can relax with a dinner of authentic flavors and, for those who wish, treat yourself to the luxury of an outdoor sauna with a view of the mountains.

Immersed in Val Maleda

Difference in altitude: +330m / -360m | Length: 6km | Travel time: 4h

A day of pure connection with nature! You will walk along a scenic trail that passes through larch forests, along hidden waterfalls and descends into a wild valley. Along the way, cows, sheep and horses will keep you company, adding a fairytale touch to the experience. After a final gentle climb, you will reach the mountain hut for the night, where the authentic hospitality of the local family will make you feel immediately at home. Before dinner, you can watch the milking and experience first-hand the daily life on the mountain pastures.

Towards Val Saent and the peaks of Ortles-Cevedale

+ 400m | - 30m | 4h00 | 8km

After a breakfast of fresh and genuine products, you will have the opportunity to see the transformation of milk into delicious dairy specialties. Then, with your backpack on your shoulders, you will begin the climb towards the Alpine refuge, following a path that crosses vast grassy slopes and clear mountain streams. With the Ortles-Cevedale massif as a backdrop, you will find yourself immersed in a grandiose scenario. Dinner in the refuge, at an altitude of 2,437 meters, will be the right reward for this day.

The spectacular Saent Falls

+ 0m | - 920m | 3h30 | 6km

Waking up at high altitude always has something magical about it. After breakfast, you will begin the descent through the Pra di Saent, a large Alpine expanse populated by marmots and rhododendron blooms. Shortly after, the trail will lead you to one of the most evocative corners of the Val di Sole: the Saent Waterfalls. Here, the roar of the water and the play of light between the splashes will make every step an experience to remember. The trek will end in a welcoming mountain hut, where you can enjoy a last typical lunch before returning to the hotel.

Departure

After intense days of trekking, breathtaking views and authentic encounters with Alpine culture, it is time to say goodbye to Val di Sole with a heart full of memories.
