This is a beautiful excursion with impressive views that starts in Sfazù (1622 m) and reaches the port of Val Viola (2489 m). Along the way there is water at the Rifugio Saoseo refuge (1985 m) and at the Alpe Campo restaurant (2057 m). Before reaching the summit, hikers can make a short detour and visit the Saoseo Lakes (2030 m).

Viola Shelter

Highlight • Mountain Hut

Nice Bike Friendly alpine refuge. Fortunately, debit cards are accepted. Easy to reach by gravel and MTB. Beyond the refuge, the climb to the Viola pass is worth it for the view of the glaciers of the Swiss Alps.

Alpe Dosdé

Highlight • Natural

The Alpe Dosdé, 2100 meters. Located right in the heart of Val Viola, on the crossroads with Val Dosdé. An incredible place from a naturalistic point of view: a luxuriant valley bottom, crossed by the Bormina river, with the highest, often snow-capped peaks behind it. The refuge, a few meters further on, offers a refreshment point.

Rifugio Federico Valgoi

Highlight • Mountain Hut

It's an old mountain hut renovated by the Bormio section of the Italian Alpine Club (CAI) to serve as a shelter for mountaineers, ski mountaineers, and hikers. The refuge, dedicated to Federico Valgoi, a young mountaineer from Bormio who lost his life while climbing in 2002, is the catalyst for the revival of mountaineering in the Val Viola and Val Dosdè.

Caricc Hut

Highlight • Mountain Hut

The Caricc hut is a recently renovated historic hut, where you can both sleep and eat. Beautiful location, near the Viola Bormina river and the numerous pastures. Great food and strategic location for both hiking and biking. Excellent in all seasons, but check the official website for opening times.
