The beech forests of Val d'AlgonePhoto: Michele Carioggia, Madonna di Campiglio Azienda per il Turismo
Val d'Algone is one of the most evocative, unspoiled, and lesser-known valleys of the Dolomites, all to discover through an easy route that from Malga Nambi, recently renovated and where there is also a welcoming farm stay, leads up to the panoramic terrace of Malga Movlina. The walk alternates a first section of mountain dirt road with a second on a very well-maintained and not exposed trail.
Author’s recommendation
From Val d'Algone it is possible to connect to:
-
Val Piana
From Malga Movlina, follow SAT trail 354 towards Malga Plan, then continue on SAT trail 350 to Malga Serli, where it joins the circular route of Val Piana. -
Val di Nardis
From the junction of SAT trails 333 and 341, turn onto SAT trail 341 towards Rifugio XII Apostoli.
Derived from the technical difficulty and the stamina requirements.
