About

Malga Alta di Pellizzano sits at 1558m in the Val di Sole, in the heart of Trentino's dairy pasture country. Reach it on foot from Pellizzano village in 2.5 hours—the trail climbs steadily through mixed forest and opens onto high pasture. Mountain bikes work here too if you're coming from lower trailheads. This is working malga country, so expect to share the landscape with cattle and the people who manage them.

The hut runs as a simple alpine dairy operation with 6 beds across basic rooms. Meals centre on what the malga produces: fresh cheese, butter, milk-based dishes. Breakfast and dinner are included with your stay. Water comes from the mountain spring. There's no electricity grid connection—the hut runs on generators and solar. Open June through September, weather permitting. Phone ahead to confirm operations, especially early and late season.

Book directly by phone well in advance. July and August fill up 4–6 weeks ahead. Spring and autumn are quieter but call first to check staffing and opening dates. This is a working farm stay, not a full mountain refuge—come ready for minimal comfort and authentic malga life.

The 2.5-hour ascent is moderate and family-friendly if you start early; the working malga setting appeals to families wanting authentic Alpine pastoral life, but the rustic setup suits people comfortable with simplicity over comfort.
