Landscape
The malga is located in Pietratagliata, a hamlet of Pontebba, on a grassy plateau surrounded by mountain peaks, including that of the well-known Mount Schenone. The environment is extremely peaceful and it is possible to have lunch in the shade on the rooftop terrace. From here the view is magnificent over the valley, and as you climb Mount Schenone, you have a breathtaking panorama of the Canin, Coglians and Zuc dal Bor peaks.
Itineraries and routes
Several interesting paths branch off from the malga, both from a naturalistic point of view, thanks to the charming walks through green meadows and mountain pine forests, and from a landscape point of view, with the striking views of Val Dogna on one side and Canal del Ferro on the other. The area is also historically rich, as there are several remnants of war works dating back to the Great War. Some of the most popular routes include:
- the CAI 601 path that leads to the Cuel de Jovel saddle and, continuing on CAI 602, to the summit of Mount Schenone at 1950 meters or, by an alternative path, to that of Jôf di Dogna;
- the forest track that leads to the Jeluz shelter at 1,500 meters, where there is an ancient stone, found in the area, depicting the Lion of St. Mark.
