Description Details Turn-by-turn directions How to get there Equipment

On the edge of Val di Fiemme, this short and easy hike leads you to discover the pastures full of flowers and a fantastic "balcony" overlooking Val di Fiemme.

Malga Sass welcomes you with its outdoor wooden tables, after driving the road that from Valfloriana climbs gradually steeper and narrower.

On foot, in about half an hour, you reach "Pradi da le Fior", a mountain pasture that preserves an exceptional view of Val di Fiemme, from the town of Le Ville (Carano, Daiano, Varena) up to Corno Nero and Pala di Santa peaks. Located at 2000 meters, it is an authentic flowered balcony, full of flowers, surrounded by rhododendrons, where everything invites you to a picnic break. You are at the highest point of the itinerary; the walk then proceeds slightly up and down to Malga Coston, the historic Valfloriana pasture, now renovated, dating back to the early 1800s. Finally, the path leads back to Malga Sass.
