Hike to the Campo Mountain Hut near Celentino

With its alpine pastures full of cows, the pig breeding and the farm dairy, this mountain hut is located in the unique and protected natural landscape of the Stelvio National Park. Quasi a little autonomous world which invites everybody to stop in, who is interested in the synergy of work, tradition and nature.

Parking facilities can be found to the right of a bend along the forest road which proceeds from the village of Celentino to the Campo Mountain Hut. The forest road is located above the village in the Val di Peio valley, please follow the signposts towards Celentino and then for some kilometres the gravelled road towards the Malga Campo until the little parking space. Here our hike starts, we can choose between the forest road or path no. 132. At the Malga Campo we enjoy an extensive break before we continue our walk towards the Malga Pozze/Lago di Celentino lake. This path starts directly at the Malga Campo.

Arrived at the lake, we enjoy the fantastic panoramic view on the Val di Sole valley and the surrounding peaks. Then we take the path to the right towards Malga Campo again (attention, this path can be easily overlooked if you don’t specifically watch for it on the right bank of the lake). The hike to Lake Celentino offers also unforgettable views on the Adamello Group, the Presanella Group and the Ortles Alps.
