As you can imagine, the passability of itineraries in a mountain environment is strictly linked to current conditions and therefore depends on natural phenomena, environmental changes, and weather conditions. For this reason, the information contained in this sheet may have changed. Before leaving, check the status of the route by contacting the manager of the shelters on your route, the mountain guides, visitor centers of natural parks, and tourist offices.

From the parking lot, the first climb is already visible (maximum gradient 18%), after which you can see a small stream on the left. Next, you face the second climb (maximum gradient 16%), longer than the previous one. The road surface is unpaved but compact, and the 4x4 wheelchair proceeds without any difficulty. Upon reaching the flat area, after a short stretch, you can see on the left a small gravel-covered path leading to the shores of the Palù Longa Biotope pond. There is a small pier here (not accessible to wheelchairs), but the pond and the water lilies are visible from the shore.

Back on the main road, a little further on, near a small stone house, we recommend reading the information about local flora and fauna posted on the informative boards near the fence. Ignore the road on the left and continue straight towards the third and most challenging climb (maximum gradient 18%) which requires a bit of attention. Upon reaching the flat area, on the right begins the large meadow, on the top of which stands the hut called “Le Malghette”. The cobblestone road starting on the right is passable with the 4x4 wheelchair (maximum gradient 20%), alternatively continue on the dirt road and then turn right following the signs.

Arriving at the hut, we recommend enjoying the typical dishes and consulting the information panel with the names of all the peaks on the horizon.

For the first part of the return, we suggest following the dirt road (instead of the cobblestone one). Also, we invite you to pay attention to the small channels on the first descent.

From San Lugano Pass head towards Anterivo. At a hairpin bend, take the road to the right following the signs for Solaiolo and Malghette. The road, initially paved, then becomes unpaved and narrower. Continue until you find the "no entry" sign where parking is possible.

Small clearing located at the no-entry sign.
