The village of Festa at 880 m a.s.l. on the high plateau altipiano di Brentonico, 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.
Having left the forest behind us, a totally different landscape opens up in front of us: the meadows of Malga Campei di Sotto with their huge variety of blooming plants. Path no. 650 rejoins the forest path and climbs to 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. Please note that the alternative path is up to 6.5 km longer and that it will take you two hours instead of one to complete it.
