Directions

  • Start

    Hofmahd car park between Val di Non and Val d'Ultimo

    From the car park, take the evident forest road that climbs up into the woods until you find trail marker no. 28 which quickly takes you to the welcoming Malga di Lauregno. Now follow trail marker SAT 114 / AVS 26 which is partially flat and leads you to the massive clearing referred to as Pra del Signor, where you should take the wide forest road SAT 157 that climbs up from the town of Castelfondo to Malga Castrin.
    After a well-earned break in the malga mountain hut, descend along the same forest road and a little after the wooden fence, take the evident trail on the right through the meadows leading a crossroads. Keep right and follow the SAT 133 signs to Malga di Cloz and Revò. After a steep start, the trail flattens out and crosses the Southern slope of Mount Cornicolo amid rhododendrons. Continue along trail marker SAT 133 until a certain point when you drop altitude, connect to trail marker no. 11 and you will reach the hospitable Malga di Revò after a few minutes. Now follow the flat forest road along trail marker no. 8 that leads you to the nearby Malga di Cloz and then to the car park near the tunnels.
