/in Trekking trails/by Carlo DemodeSunny Valley – Laghetto dell’alpe
Circular scenic hiking trail
Easy loop walk, suitable for the whole family. The Sunny Valley – Laghetto dell’Alpe circuit is the most popular trekking route in Valfurva because it is scenic and relaxing.
It starts from the Sunny Valley hut and in half an hour of leisurely walking you will reach the Alpe Pond (located at 2752 m above sea level). Here you can take a refreshing break and admire the deep green color of the waters of the Alpe Pond; a real treat for the eyes.
Once you’ve recovered your energy, you’re ready to get back on the road true to Sunny Valley to enjoy a relaxing afternoon in the sun at the lodge’s brand new sun deck.

Sunny Valley – Canyon – Edelweiss Cave
/in Trekking trails/by Carlo Demode
Loop route starting and ending at Sunny Valley, an enchanted plateau, sunny in both summer and winter, and crowned by the most important peaks of Alta Valtellina, including Pizzo Tresèro and Cima Sobretta.
The trail, suitable for hiking, is of medium difficulty with some steep downhill sections (maximum 204 m).
This route is rather short; in fact, the average travel time is 1 hour and 20 minutes.
By starting the walk in the morning, it is then possible to arrive on time for lunch at the typical Sunny Valley restaurant and enjoy a well-deserved Valtellina meal.
During the trek it will be possible to see, in that order, the magnificent Valfurva Canyon and the beautiful Edelweiss cave dedicated to edelweiss.
Thanks to the Sunny Valley – Canyon – Edelweiss Cave trekking circuit, you can spend a day outdoors among the unspoiled wilderness of Stelvio National Park.
