Alpe Musella is located at 2021 meters above sea level, on a rocky outcrop between larch and fir trees, in the locality of the same name in Valmalenco. It is easily accessible by everyone and is also a popular excursion destination for families. Here there are two refuges where it is possible to stay overnight and eat.

A high alp with several alpine houses and two rifugios: Rifugio Musella and Rifugio Mitta. I stayed at the Rifugio Musella, which was very simple and a little old. The food was very good, the hosts very warm. Dogs are very welcome there and there are hot showers.

Alpe Musella is a charming mountain pasture nestled in the pastures, with mountain huts and the Musella and Cesare Mitta refuges.
At the huts, there's also a fountain with a stone table, an ideal place for a break.
From here, you can choose to ascend towards Carate or descend directly to the parking lot, completing the loop of the hike. Alternatively, you can take the trail that follows the Scerscen stream, passing moraines, bridges, and scree slopes.
