Malga Giumella - Alpine dairy farm
Hiking trail
Malga Giumella - Alpine dairy farm
A short walk inside the Stelvio National Park along the shores of Lake Pian Palù with its crystal-clear colors. Elevation gain: 300 meters. Round trip distance: 4.4 km.
You start from Peio Terme and at the hairpin bend, take the road on the left, following Val del Monte and reaching the parking area at Fontanino. After tasting the ferruginous water at the small white mountain hut, you take the dirt road immediately to the right. After a couple of switchbacks, the road levels out and leads to the dam wall. Continue along the forest road, where the woods open up to reveal a wide pasture from which you can admire Lake Pian Palù. At the edge of the forest, you reach Malga Giumella. The mountain hut is also a crossroads for other trails, leading left towards Malga Paludei and right towards Pian della Vegaia first, and then via the military road to Malga Frattasecca.
