DESCRIPTION
Excursion in Alta Val di Rabbi among huts, waterfalls and lakes.
We are located in the Stelvio National Park at the bottom of the Val di Rabbi, on the border with South Tyrol on one side and with Lombardy on the other. Along the path leading to the refuge there are beautiful natural attractions: the Saent Falls, real forces of nature. Do not miss the first Lake of Sternai either, because it is very characteristic with an accentuated turquoise color. The route is a bit challenging due to its length, but you can rest at the refreshment points.
In summer the access road to the car park is not always open, ask the tourist offices for closing times.
ITINERARY
From the car park, take the orographic right of the valley and follow trail 106. You pass the Rifugio Fontanin (1388 m), the Malga Stablasolo (1543 m), Malga Pra di Saent (1778 m), the Alte di Saent waterfalls (1850 m) and you arrive at the Rifugio Silvio Dorigoni (2436 m). Here you go up to Lake Sternai (2596 m) on an unnumbered path. Now you return along the same path up to Plan de le Scalace (1730 m). Take the Geological Path and pass on the left orographic side. You pass the Cascate Basse di Saent and return to the Coler car park.
