WHY THIS HIKE

Valmalenco's most photographed lake, among golden larches

A hike among majestic views, working alpine pastures and the charm of the real mountains. From the car park before Campo Moro we climb gently along the gravel road leading first to Rifugio Cà Runcasch and then to the famous Rifugio Cristina, framed by Pizzo Scalino and by the golden larches of autumn.

Come alone, leave with new friends

The experience

After a traditional lunch at the hut we continue along a panoramic trail to Lago Mufulè: a small alpine gem that has become one of the symbols of Valmalenco, its water reflecting the peaks and the larches all around.

It is 10 kilometres and 600 metres of ascent, returning on a loop. In the foliage weeks this is one of the most requested outings: the colours here last only days, and those who have been know it.

This is an intermediate hike: 600 metres of ascent over ten kilometres, on gravel road and panoramic trail with no technical difficulty. Bring boots, water and a windproof jacket: at 2,300 metres in autumn it is cold.

Come with the Guidders: book your place and let's walk up to the Mufulè.

We reach Rifugio Cristina, framed by Pizzo Scalino, and stop for a traditional lunch: it is the best-known hut on this side of Valmalenco, and you see why as soon as you sit outside.

Hi Guidders! 🧡 I'm Simone, a mid-mountain leader, a UIMLA International Mountain Leader and a cycle touring guide specialising in e-bikes. I turned my greatest passion into a profession, and I live the mountains all year round among trails, summits and spectacular views. I love taking people out to discover a place, sharing not only the beauty of nature but the history, the traditions and the culture that make each spot singular: they're the part that stays once the view has been photographed. Whether it's a panoramic trek, a high-altitude adventure or an e-bike outing, the goal is to let you live the mountains genuinely and fully. 🥾🚵 See you in the mountains, Guidders!
