In the forests and on the meadows at the foot of Monte Roen lie several malghe. They can be visited thanks to a circular path offering stunning panoramic views of the Val di Non and the Valle dell’Adige

To reach our starting point, we cross the village of Amblar and arrive at a car park at Bocca delle Valli (1,450 m a.s.l.), where we park our car. There are several forest paths leading up to the 2,116-m high Monte Roen. We take path no. 531 towards malga Amblar at 1,710 m a.s.l., the first hut along the way. We then continue along path no. 537 to malga di Don and Malga di Sanzeno without having to tackle a significant difference in altitude.
Malga di Sanzeno lies on a large meadow from where you could take path no. 528 to malga di Sfruz e Smarano. The most demanding section of the itinerary climbs through the forest. The final kilometre before the first refreshment point leads along a forest path. We are now at 1,900 m a.s.l. and only need to tackle the last 200 metres until we arrive at the peak of Monte Roen. We hike across a meadow and follow the signposts to a stunning blooming meadow where different plants, including gentians, globeflowers, orchids, buttercups and edelweiss, bloom.
At the peak at 2,116 m a.s.l. a memorable panoramic view of the Valli di Non e Sole, the Brenta Dolomites, the Ortles-Cevedale group, the mountains around Merano, the Eastern Dolomites and the Valle dell'Adige between Bolzano and Trento opens up. We walk along path no. 500 to malga Romeno, a refreshment point. After a short break we return to Bocca delle Valli, the final destination of our hike.
