Medium-difficulty trail with wonderful views of the Brenta Dolomites.
A pleasant hike starting from Malghet Aut (easily reached by the Belvedere cable car) that ascends Monte Vigo to the Orso Bruno Refuge. The route leads via a wooded path to Lago delle Malghette, a charming body of water offering spectacular views of the Brenta Dolomites.

Safety information
To embark on a mountain hike, we suggest you:
Choose a route suited to your level of fitness. If in doubt, contact the Alpine Guides or our Information Offices.
Prepare your hike: check the weather forecast, the route you will be following, and the lift schedules, if your itinerary requires them. Remember that the feasibility of mountain trails is strictly dependent on the prevailing conditions and therefore depends on natural phenomena, environmental changes, and weather conditions. Therefore, be sure to check the route and its conditions before setting out.
Leave information about your itinerary and your approximate return time, and bring your cell phone with you.
Pay attention to the directions and signs along the route: Stelvio National Park signs, red and white SAT signs, and red and white brushstrokes on rocks or trees.
Book in advance the mountain hut or refuge where you intend to stop for food or sleep.
Never abandon waste at high altitudes, and if possible, avoid leaving it at the refuges or mountain huts you will visit.
If you spot wild animals along the route, we invite you to stay on the trail you are walking, do not get too close, do not shout, and keep your dog on a leash to prevent it from instinctively chasing them and scaring them.

Directions
From the Folgarida cable car parking area (1300 meters), take the cable car up to Malghet Aut (1860 meters) (see schedule here). Here, along a dirt road, begins the trail leading to the Solander - Alpe Daolasa refuge (2045 meters), which can be reached in an hour. Continuing on foot for about 40 minutes, you reach the adjacent Orso Bruno - Monte Vigo refuge (2180 meters). From here, a 40-minute descent along the SAT 201 trail leads to the picturesque Lago delle Malghette (1889 meters). The return journey is possible along the Sentiero dei Patori (Patori's Path) to Alpe Daolasa and then along the outward route to Malghet Aut.
When hiking in the mountains, it's always helpful to:
wear hiking boots suitable for uneven, wet, and uneven terrain, long pants, a hat, and sunglasses.
pack a waterproof jacket, a fleece, a hat, gloves, sunscreen, and a minimum change of clothing.
bring a water bottle and snacks for energy dips (dried fruit, energy bars, or chocolate).
