From Malga Bordolona di Sotto to Lake Trenta

DESCRIPTION
Wonderful walk on the Maddalene Group.
The itinerary that we propose is a beautiful circular excursion in not very popular places on the border between Val di Non (Trentino) and Val d’Ultimo (South Tyrol). We recommend two periods: July for the flowering of the rhododendrons and October with the first snow.

ITINERARY
From Malga Bordolona di Sotto (1805 m), follow path 136 and arrive at Malga Bordolona di Sopra. Continue climbing on the same path to Lake Trenta / Alplahner See (2387 m) via the Alplahner pass (2420 m). From the lake take the 12 which goes around Cima Trenta (2629 m). Once you reach a saddle, take path 14 which climbs up to Cima Trenta. Return to the saddle by the same road. Here we resume the 12th and descend into the valley until we reach a crossroads; take an unmarked path to the right which remains at high altitude up to Passo di Val Clapa (2296 m). Now take the 112 to return to the starting point passing the ruins of the Scalet di Sopra (2133 m) and Scalet di Sotto (1891 m) huts.
