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.
Start
Destination
Turn-by-turn directions
Pass by the “Malga Venegiota” mountain dairy and, shortly after, leave the dirt road for trail No. 710 on the left, which, after a short stretch through a sparse wood, climbs steeply along the west flanks at the base of Monte Mulaz.
Climbing steeply, you reach the large gravel deposits at the foot of the enormous Campanile di Val Grande. Here, at about 2370 m, trail No. 710 bends sharply north-east towards Passo di Mulaz at 2616 m . The surrounding scenery here is impressive and very impactful. Beyond the pass it’s a short trek to Rifugio Volpi al Mulaz (2556 m); [NB: at the pass, you can take the alternative route to the summit of Monte Mulaz: see the notes below].
After a short rest at the mountain hut, continue gently downhill along trail No. 710 for a short stretch, being very careful to take trail No. 751 on the left (heading northwards) towards Passo di Focobon.
Trail No. 751 descends rather steeply, with several changes in direction, down to 2200 m , from where the oblique incline becomes gentler to the “Passo di Focobon” ( 2326 m ).
Continue along trail No. 751, which cuts through the inclined green slopes, to the nearby “Passo di Venegiota” (2299 m). Here you must be very careful not to continue along trail No. 751, but to take a usually well-beaten track that descends steeply from the pass to the foot of the south flank of Cima Venegiota. At about 2210 m ignore a trail branching off on the right and follow the straight trail (down into the valley – gps track) or the one on the left, both of which join trail No. 749 further down.
Once on trail No. 749 (at about 2050 m ) follow it along the left down to the initial trail in Val Venegia, tracing your steps back along the forest road to the departure point.
NB: the stretch between Passo di Venegiota and trail No. 749 is not difficult and is usually well-beaten; however, it is not SAT marked (a GPS navigating device can be of help here); if you have any doubts and are afraid of getting lost, from Passo di Venegiota continue along trail No. 751 up to Forcella Venegia, from where you can take trail No. 749 on the left. The route is slightly longer, but you certainly won’t lose your way.
