Winter hike to the Melago Mountain Hut

In the upmost Vallelunga valley, at the feet of Mt. Palla Bianca with its glaciers, the Melago Mountain Hut is located at the edge of a cross country ski track and a winter hiking path

Our winter hike starts in Melago (Melag), the last hamlet in the Vallelunga valley (Langtaufers), at about 1,900 m a.s.l. Here the road ends, at the bus stop a parking space is located.

We walk through the small village into the valley, after the farms we continue along the winter path which runs parallel to the cross-country ski track. It is a comfortable wide path through the snowy high valley, we cross the bridge over the Rio Karlin creek to walk further at the edge of the forest (path no. 5). The path is flat, only just before the Melago Mountain Hut (Melager Alm) at 2,020 m a.s.l. we have to manage a short and easy ascent.

The hut offers delicious traditional cuisine. We decide to carry on walking up the quiet valley for about 1 km before we start our way back.
