BAITEL HIKE

Panoramic hike discovering the most hidden baitel.

Baitel are small huts fursnished with kitchen, stove, table and benches. In Livigno there are many and most of them are at the tree line or in panoramic spots. Every Baitel is different and particular, you can find them in wood, in rocks or nestled in the mountain like the Madonon. They are a good spot where to have a break, eat a sandwich or drink a coffee in the wild nature.

This hike of abut 3 hours starts from the top of Carosello 3000 and runs the Madonon trail, to continue on a steep downhill (careful, it’s pretty exposed), and arriving to the Baitel del Canton. After that the path gest flat, and with a soft downhill in the meadows it arrives at the Baitel del Plascianet. FInally, it goes down in the woods and connect to the Panoramic trail until the village.

A vey panoramic tour, in the first part you’ll walk at a step from the sky, with a view at 360° over the mountians, and in the second part you enter in fairy landscapes with wild animals, meadows and forests. The hike is quite long and pretty difficult given the steep downhill.

Tips & Tricks

Baitels are perfect places for a pic-nic: bring some sandwiche to enjoy in the nature, in case it’s cold, every baitel has a stove, a little kitchen and a table where you can eat.

The most trained people can make the hike the opposite way (hence mainly uphill). In this case you can start from the restaurant “Camino” and go up on the trail n°157.1 until reaching the n° 157 that leads to Madonon.

Consider that you’re walking at almost 3000m, hence the weather is very unstable and generally fresh: wear many layers and always bring an extra jacket to avoid being cold in the middle of the Mountain.

In sunny days, you can risk sunburns since the UVA rays are very strong but with the fresh air you won’t feel them. To get the perfect tan often use solar protection and sunglasses.

Bring some tea, coffee and biscuits: Madonon is the perfect place where to stop for a warm break during the morning.

This hike is very panoramic: bring a camera or your phone to take many picture to post on Instagram with the hashtag #themountainisfreedom…you’ll be envied by all your friends!
