About
Malga Lunga sits at 1,235m in the Brescia Alps, a working dairy pasture rather than a mountain hut. Reach it from Collio di Treviso (40 minutes) or from the Val Trompia side (1.5 hours). The access is a straightforward hiking trail through mixed woodland and open pasture. Summer brings cows to the meadows; the surrounding terrain offers gentle ridge walks and connections to higher routes across the Brescia range.
This is a working malga that operates seasonally as a simple refreshment stop. Expect basic food and drink—cheese, milk products, and light meals when the dairy is staffed. Capacity is minimal (informal seating rather than overnight beds). Opening runs roughly June through September, depending on when herders bring cattle up. Facilities are basic: water and basic toilets. This works best as a lunch stop on a longer hike, not as a planned overnight destination.
Contact directly by email or phone before visiting, especially outside peak summer months. The malga operates informally and staffing varies. July and August see most traffic from local day-hikers and families. Early season (June) and late season (September) offer quieter conditions but confirm opening dates first.
