Ring tour to the Malga del Monte Alta

DESCRIPTION
Beautiful circular hike with snowshoes above Mezzana in Val di Sole.
The itinerary is very scenic, with a wide view of the Val di Sole and the snow-capped peaks of the Presanella and the Brenta Group.
The route can be done both clockwise and counterclockwise: remember that the only refreshment point open in winter is Malga Stabli.
The tour does not present particular technical difficulties, but attention must be paid to the danger of avalanches, especially in the stretch that goes from the Malga del Monte Alta to the Malga Bronzolo. So inquire on site before embarking on this stretch!

ITINERARY
From Ortisé (1486 m) take the asphalted road to the hamlet of Menas (1517 m). Then continue following the signs for Malga del Monte Alta - path 121. The first hut you meet is Malga del Monte Bassa (1699 m) and then you reach Malga del Monte Alta (2106 m) along path 121. Now you return back a little and take the signpost for Malga Bronzolo. Once you arrive at Malga Bronzolo (2084 m), you can easily descend to Malga Stabli (1814 m). Now all that remains is to return to the starting point by an easy dirt road.
