The ancient path of the Passo di Rabbi connects the Val di Rabbi to the Val d’Ultimo and reaches some alpine lakes amidst glaciers
Image gallery: Hike to the Laghi Corvo
This hike leading through a majestic alpine landscape, past numerous alpine lakes and wonderful blooming pastures with whistling marmots, is characterised by stunning views. The magnificent Laghi Corvo near the Passo di Rabbi, which connects the Val di Rabbi in Trentino to the Val d'Ultimo in South Tyrol (Alto Adige), formed by meltwater, are a natural habitat for the Arctic char.
Our starting point is the Cavallar car park above the village of San Bernardo in the Val di Rabbi. Path no. 108 leads steeply uphill to the Rifugio Stella Alpina al Lago Corvo. Alternatively, you can take the flatter but 3-km longer path no. 135 to reach the alpine hut. From the Rifugio Stella Alpina we admire the wonderful view of the Val di Rabbi, the Brenta group and the peaks of the Val di Peio. From here, we soon reach Lago Corvo Grande and the small surrounding lakes which are natural gems of the Stelvio National Park.
