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.

Leave the car at Lavazè Pass in the large car park, and start walking by the nice small lake, along the pathway no. 9; the first part of the trekking runs next to the shores of this enchanting body of water, in a peaceful and relaxing atmosphere.

A little further down the way, leaving the lake’s shores, the view of Corno Nero (m. 2439) and Corno Bianco (m. 2317), at whose foothills the Oclini Pass lies, opens up. Not far (yet not visible from this point) is Malga Ora, another easy destination also reachable from Lavazè Pass.

In another 15 minutes the flat pathway gets to the wood’s edges and enters it slightly downgrade.

Walking along the pathway, just cross a couple of intersections and, always smoothly, at around 40 minutes from the starting point, turn definitely right to a green glade where our destination, Malga Costa, lies.

Guests who prefer having a picnic may accommodate in one of the many available seats, each with its funny colored place mat. To the side of Malga Costa (Liegalm) is the barn housing the many cows, warm company during the day.

From Malga Costa paths easily lead to Malga Ora or, in a long trek, descend to Schwarzenbach.

To get back to the starting point just walk the same route, now slightly upgrading, up to the small lake, whose waters are always attractive to kids, and finally to the car park.
