Description of Trekking to Alpe Sattal
Starting from 1 December 2012 Italian Mountains would like to take you into a dream.
An unforgettable excursion to Alpe Sattal to relive the dream of the man who in 1995, after having crossed the Italian Alps far and wide, in summer and winter, for three years alone and with only a tent, stopped right here where he built his home with his own hands by renovating an old ruin.
We will relive the great passion of that same explorer, convinced to make such an evocative life choice by the continuous contact with the wonderful and harsh nature of this area, by the immutable flow of the seasons, by the simple and genuine life of those who need nothing more than the beauty that surrounds him to feel satisfied.
A wooden sign, right before reaching the cabin, invites visitors to take part in this dream and to remember that they are in the place where eagles learn to fly with the wind.
That of Alpe Sattal is one of the very few 'refuges' in the Alps open all year round which acquires in the winter season, cloaked in a thick blanket of snow, the appearance of a warm, reassuring and at the same time isolated and proud nest of 'eagle.
The hut is located on a natural terrace on the slopes of Monte Tagliaferro (2,964 m above sea level) and from it you can enjoy a spectacular 360° panorama with a magnificent view of the Rosa massif.

• high and waterproof trekking shoe (goretex),
• suitable clothing to withstand the cold (fleece, k-way or other waterproof and windproof jacket).
