Sobretta Ridge – Sunny Valley

A medium-difficulty trekking trail, the Cresta Sobretta – Sunny Valley itinerary or vice versa requires adequate sports equipment such as specific trekking shoes and windproof jackets to best enjoy the view at the highest point reached by the cable car at 2,860 m.

We recommend starting your hike right here and then enjoying lunch at the magnificent Sunny Valley restaurant and a sunny, peaceful afternoon on the refuge’s solarium.

Using the cable car stop on the crest, you immediately reach the first panoramic point near the former Sobretta refuge, where you can admire the vastness of the Ortles-Cevedale and Adamello mountain ranges and a view of the valley floor with the village of Santa Caterina.

From here the hike winds along the ridge (path S563) and then descends towards the basin with a beautiful glacial lake until reaching the Sunny Valley Refuge (S562 and S560.1) in about an hour’s walk.
