Hike to the Laghi Corvo

Since centuries, 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

The majestic alpine landscape, the numerous alpine lakes, the wonderful blooming pastures, the whistling marmots and the seemingly limitless views make this itinerary memorable. 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) are of glacial origin and are a natural habitat to the Arctic char, one of the typical animals of high alpine lakes.

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 path no. 135 to reach the alpine hut: this version is less steep but almost 3 km longer. 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, natural gems of the Stelvio National Park.
