Safety information

Choose the route according to your experience and your physical preparation: start with short distances first!

The more, the merrier: leaving alone for a hike can be risky, travel with at least one other person, the experience of a Trekking is better when shared with friends and family!

Program your Trekking in advance, check trails and paths on the maps, have a look online to find out more about your itinerary, ask somebody who already walked the same route.

Prepare your backpack: have a look at our check-list to be sure you already packed all the equipment you may need during the Trekking!

Don’t forget to check the weather forecast.

If you really want to try the experience of a Trekking but you don’t feel ready to do it by your own,  just ask one of our Alpine Guides!

Try to estimate an average journey-time of every route, considering the physical condition of each member of the group.

Inform the Hut owner or who is waiting for you at home about your time of arrival and the itinerary.

Keep your eyes open: while you’re walking, check the number of each footpath, but don’t forget to enjoy nature and its magic!

A plan B is always a good idea! Organize an alternative route in case of bad weather or unforeseen event: go back if it’s necessary, play it safe!

Please note that the practicability of the itineraries in a mountain environment is strictly linked to the contingent conditions and is therefore influenced by natural phenomena, environmental changes and weather conditions. For this reason, the information contained in this page may have changed. Before leaving for a tour, make sure the path you will approach is still accessible by contacting the owner of the mountain hut, the alpine guides or the visitor centres of the nature parks, the info offices of the local tourist board.

Rifugio Mulaz

Turn-by-turn directions

From Rosetta Refuge, we follow the footpath 703 (also known as “delle Farangole” footpath) to the “pian dei Cantoni” (2300 m); this path goes across the Cimon della Pala massif (3184 m) and the Vezzana peak (3192 m). We go forward, through the Val delle Galline, walking above the  Val delle Comelle. We will then find on the left the track which leads to the Brunner bivouac (2750 m) through the Val Strutt. From the bivouac we leave the track and then proceed toward Cima di Valgrande (3038 m), we walk surrounding the bottom of the peak of Torcia di Valgrande; from here, we come up through an aided-canal which leads to the Passo delle Farangole (2814 m). On the right, the peak of the campanile del Focobon (2969 m) dominates over the Pass, while on the left the Viennese Tower (2900 m) shows its unique silhouette. From the Passo delle Farangole we descend down a path on the right, toward the saddle of Forcella Margherita (2655 m); from here we will easily get to the Mulaz Hut (2571 m).
