Bivacco Malga Baselga

Itinerary leading to the Bivacco Malga Baselga, set in a wild environment in the Val Baselga.

The Val Baselga, which gives its name to the bivouac, is a very charming valley. Characterized by a small green plateau and bordered by granite peaks, it is crossed by a small stream. Framing the scene is Cima Baselga. <p>This area is isolated and very wild. It is less known compared to the trails frequented by large crowds. For example, the Lago dei Caprioli, a point of interest on this itinerary, is very popular and offers a pleasant walk in a less wild nature.</p> <p>For those seeking adventure, the route to the Bivacco Malga Baselga begins near Lago dei Caprioli. The trail is not for everyone. It starts on a comfortable forest road and then follows a rough and steep path. The environment you encounter is worth the physical effort, characterized by larch forests that turn into warm colors in autumn, undergrowth of rhododendrons, and Swiss pine trees.</p> <p>At 2,000 meters, the landscape offers views of Vioz and Cevedale peaks and the Val di Pejo. Further in the distance, you can see Vegaia Peak with the surrounding mountain villages, Ortisè and Menas.</p> <p>A few more steps lead to the bivouac, nestled in a small hollow. Now renovated, it used to offer shelter to the more adventurous hikers.</p> <p>For those who wish to continue the adventure, the bivouac can serve as a good starting point for ascents to Cima Baselga (2,775 m), Rocca di Nambron (2,741 m), and Cima di Val Gelada (2,675 m).</p> <p>For the return, caution is needed as the trail has stones  and may be wet, therefore slippery. Once you reach the end of the SAT 243 trail at the beginning of the forest road, turning right will take you along the Sentiero delle Cascate, which reaches Lago dei Caprioli.</p>
