    Malga Monte Sole is a delight not only for the eyes but also for the palate, offering traditional zero-kilometre dishes creatively reimagined by chef Matteo. The excellent cuisine, combined with the sunny and panoramic location, makes it the perfect spot to take a break and enjoy the silence and beauty of the Val di Rabbi.

    Malga Monte Sole

    Safety information

    When setting out on an excursion in the mountains, we suggest you:
    • choose a route suitable for your fitness level. When in doubt, contact the Alpine Guides or our Information Offices
    • get ready for your trip by checking the weather forecast, the route you will follow and the times for the cable cars or chair lifts, if you will be using them. Remember that the feasibility of routes in a mountain environment is closely linked to the contingent conditions and therefore depends on natural phenomena, changes in the environment and the weather conditions. For this reason, make sure you are well informed about the route and conditions before setting out;
    • tell someone about your route and what time you expect to return, and take your mobile phone with you;
    • pay attention to the directions and signs that you find along the way: Stelvio Park signs, red and white SAT signs and red and white painted marks on rocks or trees;
    • raise the alarm by calling 112 in the event of an accident;
    • book the malga or refuge where you intend to stop to eat or sleep in advance;
    • never leave litter in the mountains and, if possible, avoid leaving your rubbish at mountain refuges or malgas that you visit;
    • if you spot wild animals along the way, we invite you to stay on the path, not go too near, not shout and to keep your dog on a lead, to stop it instinctively chasing and scaring the animal.

    Roadbook

    You can leave your car near the Rabbi thermal baths and start your hike on foot, taking the road that climbs to the left just a few dozen metres from there. Alternatively, you can drive along the same gravel road to the Fontanon parking area. Please note that this is a narrow mountain road used by many pedestrians, so if you choose this second option, drive very slowly and carefully.

    Walk along the forest road the entire way: while the path is quite long, don’t get discouraged – the beauty that awaits at the top will more than reward your effort. Along the route, you’ll enjoy the surrounding views without worrying about losing your way, as every junction is clearly marked with reassuring signs leading you to your destination. The trail’s gradual development offers a chance to witness the vegetation shift from forest to pasture, until you spot the malga with its distinctive wooden terrace and the outdoor sauna built inside a barrel.

    After a revitalizing break, descend along the same road. At the third switchback, follow the signs to Malga Fratte Alta and Malga Fratte Bassa. From Malga Fratte Bassa, follow the forest road to the foot of the suspension bridge, then continue to the right until you reach the parking area.

    Equipment

    When setting out on an excursion in the mountains, it is always a good idea to:
    • wear hiking boots suitable for loose, uneven or wet terrain, long trousers, a cap and sunglasses;
    • put a waterproof jacket, fleece sweater, hat and gloves, sun cream and a minimum change of clothing into your backpack;
    • take a bottle of water and snacks with you for an instant energy boost (dried fruit, energy bars or chocolate);
    • remember your camera or mobile phone for immortalising the views and favourite sights. If you like, you can then share them on social media at the hashtags #visitvaldisole and #spazioaltuotempo.
