The excursion to Cima Undici is a splendid route that leads into the upper Val dei Monzoni, a secluded corner of Val di Fassa. The first part up to Malga Monzoni takes place on a snowy road for sledding, while in the upper part the forest gives way to wide slopes, never too steep. The malga is a good intermediate refreshment point, and the Vallaccia refuge higher up is often open on winter weekends.

Author’s recommendation

In the descent section between the Vallaccia refuge and the Malga Monzoni, it is possible to freely descend through the forest instead of staying on the road.

Safety information

The final section is often subject to wind deposits, so carefully assess the avalanche danger.

As you can imagine, the passability of routes in a mountain environment is strictly linked to the current conditions and therefore depends on natural phenomena, environmental changes, and weather conditions. For this reason, the information contained in this sheet may have changed. Before leaving, check the status of the route by contacting the managers of the refuges on your route, alpine guides, visitor centers of natural parks, and tourist offices.

Roadbook

From the Soldanella restaurant, return across the bridge and take a forest road on the left (snowmobile track) that with some ups and downs leads to Malga Crocifisso at 1525m. From here, take the road that goes up to Val dei Monzoni to the homonymous malga (farm stay open also in winter), then continue towards the Vallaccia refuge following the signs of the summer SAT trail 624. Beyond the refuge, around 2350m you reach a crossroads with summer signs at the base of a steep small valley channeled on the right. Climb it up to the upper plateau, then cross decisively to the right up to the summit ridge which shortly leads to Cima Undici.

Equipment

For mountain excursions in winter, appropriate clothing is recommended even in case of sudden temperature drops. Gloves, hat, sunglasses, and sunscreen should also be part of the usual equipment. It is also important to have suitable footwear that keeps the feet warm and does not get wet in contact with the snow.

For trips on snowy terrain, it is also advised to always have an avalanche self-rescue kit consisting of ARTVA-shovel-probe (can also be rented).
