Cima Ekar
Latitude: 45,844287 | Longitude: 11,576163
Plateau area/s:

  • Ekar - Valbella

Malga Valbella is located on the south-east slope of Monte Ekar and it is situated on rounded and easily accessible hills. Only towards the east, almost at the end of its borders, it becomes steeper. Exactly here there are a few quarries where the red ammonite limestone – characterized by the presence of ammonite fossils – is extracted.
The malga is surrounded by coppiced beech forests managed with coppice selection system, but not far away some lonely beech trees can be seen, some even of monumental size. The malga pasture is made up of rich areas and more meagre on the outer edge near the wood.
In this area, it is not uncommon to find beautiful predatory birds such as buzzards, sparrowhawks, and kestrels.
Nearby, there is the trail named in memory of Maestro Patrizio Rigoni. It is a long, looping itinerary, along which about twenty works of art are distributed, including sculptures, paintings, and engravings. The path is very easy and its interesting suggestions from an educational, naturalistic, and environmental point of view make it a perfect place for families.

Do you want to have the best experience in the malga?

malghe-icone-esperienza

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!

How’s life in the malga

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.

The cows: how to safely get close

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!

The malga operators’ dogs
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!
