Embark on a moderate hike along the Alta Via dell'Adamello to Lago della Vacca from Malga Cadino, a route that covers 7.6 miles (12.2 km) with an elevation gain of 1972 feet (601 metres). You can expect to complete this journey in about 4 hours and 16 minutes. As you hike, you will pass the striking Corna Bianca, known for its bright white limestone cliffs, before ascending gradually towards Passo della Vacca where a unique cow-shaped rock formation awaits.
To begin your adventure, drive to the parking area near Malga Cadino della Banca. You can reach this starting point via the road from Bagolino, passing through Valle del Caffaro. The trail is well-marked with stone-paved paths, making navigation straightforward as you follow the directions. Consider starting your hike earlier in the day to allow ample time to enjoy the scenery and the facilities at the refuge.
This trail offers more than just scenic views; it also provides a glimpse into history and geology. The route takes you through Adamello Park, where granite and limestone formations create a varied landscape supporting diverse flora. At Lago della Vacca, you will find Rifugio Tita Secchi, which offers food and insights into the area's role as part of the WWI front line, adding a historical layer to your outdoor experience.
