Malga Verde is situated near the road that goes from Asiago to Rubbio. It is particularly large and it also includes the grazing areas of Malga Lastaro. Located at a low altitude, its pastures are particularly productive and the flattest ones are habitually used as simple prairies. They are primarily made of bulbous oat grass meadow, the typical association of rich prairies on hills and low mountains. The malga has characteristics that make it similar to a farm and it is easily reachable by car. From the malga you can admire a spectacular and relaxing view, of vast extentions of flat and hilly pastures.
From here, the CAI 872 Ciscati/Biancoia trail can be taken: going up from contrà Ciscati, it enters the woods and passes just beside the malga. The Anello dei Tre Confini also passes nearby, a route almost 20 km long on a dirt road which takes travellers to discover the south-east area of the Plateau, on the edge that dominates the Veneto plain and the Canale di Brenta, viable also for shorter stretches.

Do you want to have the best experience in the malga?
When you arrive at the malga, you’re entering the “home” of the malga operator population and their livestock: It’s a welcoming environment, rich with fascination, everything is to be discovered but also respected. Here are our recommendations for you!
The malga operator lifestyle is characterized by hardwork that starts before dawn and continues even after sundown. For example…Did you know that there two times set apart for milking? One before breakfast and another in the late afternoon.
Also, feel free to ask information but avoid going into work areas inaccessible to the public and be discrete: speaking too loudly may scare the livestock and disturb whomever is enjoying the peace of the mountain.
They are passive and docile animals but their size could put you in uncomfortable situations…or somewhat inappropriate behaviors could frighten them and provoke dangerous and unusual reactions.
It’s enough to maintain an adequate distance, avoid taking pictures from too close up, touching them, bothering them or looking them directly in the eye.
If you are with your dog, remember to keep it on a leash and under control.
When you find yourself near some cows, it’s better to avoid sudden movements, walk slowly and without getting anxious. And, if they were to get too close, distance yourself calmly and without turning your back to them!
They watch over the livestock and often offer a warm welcome to guests. Don’t worry: They are not dangerous. Treat them with respect and you will become good friends. If you are on a bike, slow down to avoid mean falls caused by demonstrations of affection a little too… overwhelming!
Those who follow the itineraries and visit the malgas know well how wonderful nature is, with its breathtaking landscapes. This is the reason why it is important not to pollute it with waste that can be taken home and properly recycled or disposed of.
The herdsmen of the plateau and the animals that live there are very fond of tourists who enjoy the wonderful days with walks, fresh air and relaxation… respecting the woods and pastures!!
