Malga Cugola from Passo Oclini

Malga Cugola from Passo Oclini - Description

Directions

• Start

  Passo Oclini
  
  WAY UP Wear your snowshoes and leave the hotel Jochgrimm behind you, descending along the left side of the ski slope. At about 1900 m of altitude, on a tree on the left edge of the slope, you should be able to spot a sign pointing to path nr 4 to Malga Cugola. Follow the marks on the trees and after a while you will walk below a chairlift. Keep going through a wonderful wood of Swiss pines. The path continues through a gully and, after losing some altitude, reaches the Cugola Pass. From here slightly climb down on the other side (south), sometimes without snow, where you can find a stable on the right and Malga Cugola Alta on the left. 
  WAY BACK Go up to Passo Cugola and take the path that, downhill, leads to the Malga Cugola Bassa. From here take the forest road on the right which, first uphill and then slightly downhill, leads to the valley station of the Doladizza chairlift. Climb up to the Isi Hütte (refreshment options) and continue uphill on the path that leads back to Passo Oclini along the ski slope.

Tips for the tour

Malga Cugola Alta offers an unexpected and unusual view of Val di Fiemme and the imposing Lagorai chain. This beautiful sunny "balcony" is ideal for a break before setting out on the way back. The hut is not managed, but it is open. The outdoor table and benches invite you to enjoy a snack or packed lunch (brought from home) in total relaxation.
