Moments full of rich emotions are to be experienced when hiking here in the Adamello Brenta Nature Park in Trentino.

Live in harmony with the Val d'Algone and the park's environment, explore the territory and discover the natural wonders thanks to the beautiful mountain trails in total respect of nature. Excursions, trekking and breathtaking climbs to the tops of the Dolomites, tranquil strolls in the woodland and rides on mountain bikes will make your stay, here at Baita Valon, unforgettable. And when dusk comes, and your legs are tired after an energetic walk, what better place to put your feet up and enjoy a cosy open fire then Baita Valon?

Prehistory

The fossil stone of the Val d'Algone testifies the ancient origin of the Dolomites and other rocks present in the Val d'Algone. The presence of fossils brings us back 250 million years when the sea covered all the territory of the Trentino Region. Nowadays small animals that lived at the bottom of that sea can be found calcified in the dolomite rocks. The Fossil Stone is located at about 1500 metres and is reached following a charming forest trail. The total trip takes about 5 hours taking into consideration the return trip.

From the 17th century

descending in the direction for Stenico, you reach a picturesque hamlet called Iron. Iron was built in the 17th century by the inhabitants of the nearby village of Ragoli to escape the plague which had spread in their village, After a long period of neglect, the hamlet has been completely rebuilt and the houses used as mountain houses, like Baite Valon before being renovated. The downward walk takes about 2 hours and the return hike about 3 hours.

Round trip

This round trip starts at Baite Valon. A 1 hour walk  brings you to Movlina: a natural terrace with views of the Dolomites and the Adamello. Here you can take advantage of the many stone BBQs dotted around the meadows and perhaps  grill yourselves some meat. The return journey takes you to Malga Nambi where you can taste some traditional mountain dishes. From here back to Baite Valon.

Lake Valagola

From Movlina, which can be reached either by car ( permit needed) or on foot, Valagola can be easily reached with a tranquil 1 hour walk. One of the 4 lakes of the Adamello-Brenta Nature Park is to be found here. The shore of the lake is the ideal place for a relaxing picnic. There is also a bivouac open to everybody. The return journey, being uphill, will obviously take a little longer.
