From Malga Boer to Fuciade, among Ladin-warm mountain huts

Winter walk from Malga Boer to Fuciade (A)

From Moena, drive to Passo San Pellegrino (about 11 km). After the pass and the Col Margherita cable car parking area, take the paved road on the left towards Rifugio Fuciade and Flora Alpina. After passing Malga Boer, just before the small bridge, go up the short ramp on the left leading to the parking area, where you can leave your car. From here, follow the steep road climbing up the slope. The route then turns right, the gradient eases, and it follows the rolling meadows until you reach the first huts, where you join the road coming from the pass.
A gentle descent, a flat stretch and a final ramp lead you to the mountain refuge and the Madonna della Neve chapel, built in 1959 in memory of the inhabitants of Soraga, who were rounded up by the Nazis in 1944 but managed to survive. Built from squared stone blocks, the chapel is topped by a small bell gable and houses several works by the renowned Gardesan master Adolf Vallazza.

The return follows the same route.

Periodic maintenance and inspection of the trails will be provided, especially after snowfall. It is recommended to always pay close attention to the type of terrain, as icy and slippery sections cannot be ruled out. It is also recommended to always be properly equipped. Walking times are approximate only, and it is important to consider that walking on snow is much more strenuous than walking without it.
Groomed trail: snowshoes optional.

The stretch from Fuciade to the crossroads in "Sbrinz" is also traversed by snowmobiles, snowcats, and a horse-drawn sleigh. Pay attention to the transit of these vehicles, sledges and the presence of ski mountaineers.

At the start of the route, there’s a Girsberger Artva checkpoint, allowing mountaineering skiers and snowshoers, equipped with self-rescue equipment, to check the state of their device. The checkpoint also keeps track of the passages, in order to know exactly how many people pass through this route and how many of them have the Artva.
