WHY THIS TREK

The Confinale loop in Val Zebrù

Three days in the wildest valley of the Stelvio.

Group chat before departure
Come alone, leave with new friends

The experience

The Val Zebrù, in the Stelvio National Park, is one of the finest valleys in the Lombard Alps: pure country, gentle gradients and remarkably rich wildlife.

Day 1. From Niblogo to Rifugio V Alpini, climbing into the heart of the valley. Day 2. From the V Alpini to Rifugio Forni, with the Ortles-Cevedale glaciers dominating the view. Day 3. From the Forni back to Niblogo, closing the Confinale circuit.

5 reasons to come - the Val Zebrù, among the wildest valleys in the Alps - the Ortles-Cevedale glaciers in view throughout - excellent chances of spotting alpine wildlife - two historic huts of the Stelvio park - three days inside a national park, not just passing through

Who it suits Three consecutive days with moderate height gain: good fitness is needed, but nothing technical.

A full immersion in the Stelvio: set off with the Guidders.
