WHY THIS HIKE

Passo di Pietra Rossa

When autumn lights up Valle delle Messi, this is the kind of day that makes you want to go right away. From Sant’Apollonia, above Ponte di Legno, we hike through golden larches, pastures and crisp air all the way to Passo di Pietra Rossa, almost 3,000 meters high.

Group chat a couple of days before
Come alone, leave with new friends

The experience

It’s a long, demanding trek, and that’s exactly what makes it special. We start along the Frigidolfo, crossing woods, mountain huts and open pastures, passing near Rifugio Valmalza. Then autumn slowly stays below us: vegetation thins out and the landscape turns into scree, wide valleys and big mountains, up to the pass between Lombardy and Trentino.

Why join us - real foliage, the kind you won’t forget - a valley that changes at every step - nearly 3,000 meters between warm colors and high mountains - great group energy to share with the Guidders

If autumn means hiking boots, golden light and bright larches for you, this is your moment.
