The village of Festa at 880 m a.s.l. on the altipiano di Brentonico (high plateau), is the starting point of our hike. Our route is signposted as trail no. 650. We walk along a path through fields and forests until we reach a crossroads, where we take the path branching off to the left. This partially steep mule path enters a beech tree forest.
Once left the forest behind, we are immersed in a totally different landscape: the meadows of Malga Campei di Sotto with their huge variety of different plants in full bloom. Path no. 650 rejoins the forest path and climbs until Malga Campei di Sopra, our final destination. After exploring the surrounding alpine meadows and enjoying the views towards north and east, it's time for a break at rifugio di Malga Campei di Sopra.
We return along the same path. Alternatively, you can stay on the forest road to avoid the steep and stony sections. In that case, however, you need to consider that the route will be up to 6.5 km longer, and the walking time will double (two hours instead of one).
