The recently renovated Rifugio Solander lies between Monte Spolverino and Monte Vigo at 2,045 metres above sea level. In winter, it is a hub for skiers in the Brenta Dolomites ski area (which includes the Marilleva, Folgarida, Madonna di Campiglio and Pinzolo pistes), while in summer it lies at the heart of a network of walks. The views are vast, stretching from Cevedale (to the north) to the Brenta Group (to the south). Open From December to April And from 20 June to 20 September Before leaving for your hike..., always contact the manager to verify the actual opening of the mountain hut Walks The Lago delle Malghette and the refuge of the same name are a (downhill) walk of about 50 minutes away. From the lake you can descend to Folgarida through the forests that cover the Val Meledrio, passing Malga Vigo and Malga di Folgarida before reaching the valley floor (2 ½ hours, difficulty E). Over Passo della Pesa you can descend to the little Mezzana lakes and Malga Copai (1 hour 10 minutes, difficulty E).
