A comfortable hike through the forest from Passo Mendola to the larch meadows of the Regole di Malosco

The Regole (rules) are an ancient form of communal ownership in the Alps, which, in some areas, survived to this day. For centuries, this system regulated the use of common properties such as pastures, meadows and forests, ensuring the survival of mountain communities in large areas of the Alps. The Regole di Malosco, today's destination, owes its name to this form of collective property.
Our starting point is the Passo Mendola near Ruffré. After a short ascent, the signposted paths no. 2 and no. 515, cross a forested slope with only a slight elevation gain. The altitude of the path is always around 1,450 m a.s.l. (Sentiero dei Siori - Wassersteig). Near the Tranzi spring, the gradually descends to the Regole meadows for 120 metres.
On the extensive Regole meadows, surrounded by stunning larch forests, stand various mountain huts, as well as three refreshment points: the Albergo Il Falchetto, the Rifugio Regole and rifugio La Monteson huts. In the afternoon, after a pleasant break, we return to our starting point along the same path.
