This malga stands at the bottom of the valley with the same name. It develops from north to south, situated between Monte Gusella to the west and Monte Bertiaga to the east.
The malga is located in the plateau area while narrow strips of its pastures enter deeper into the inner portion of the spruce, white fir and beech wood. Its green grasslands are of good quality, even though the outermost areas feel the effect of the shadow of the wood. Some paths inside the wood are used by the livestock to reach the pasture areas, while the path that runs along the main valley was the main road connecting the plain and the heart of the Plateau until the 1950’s. In the summer time the easy access, the pleasantness of the site and the presence of picnic areas along the road that leads to Monte Corno favour recreational tourism. Not far from here, several karstic caverns have been found, some of which of considerable length.

Continue for about 3 km until you reach the malga.
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!!
