Hike to the lakes of the Val di Sole

A magnificent, easy, yet long hike leads us through the Val di Sole to the Val di Rabbi through stunning landscapes and past amazing alpine lakes with their deep-blue, crystal-clear water

An absolutely amazing hiking tour through the magnificent Val di Sole that you shouldn't miss. The primary challenge is the distance between the start and end points, making it too long to cover on foot in a single day. We recommend using public transport, so please plan your trip carefully in advance. Alternatively, you could use two cars, leaving one at the destination.

Malga Stabli is situated near the village of Ortisé, reachable by turning off the Val di Sole main road between the villages of Pellizzano and Mezzana. After a few kilometres uphill via switchbacks, we arrive at the village of Ortisé, from where a small, well-signposted road leads to Malga Stabli, our starting point. The village of San Bernardo, our final destination and the main village of the Val di Rabbi, is reached by following the signposts for the Val di Rabbi.

At Malga Stabli, we take the forest path to Malga Bronzolo, where we follow path no. 122A towards Passo Valletta, the highest point of our hike. Before the summit, our path converges with another one, and the trail markers change to No. 121. We follow this path all the way to the village of San Bernardo.
