Drive along the forest road from Campo di Sotto to Malghe Federa for about 3.8 km as far as the bridge over Ru de Federa, where the trail starts.
Except in August and at all weekends in July and September, the road is open to private vehicles, though parking areas are rather limited.
To reach the trail start we always recommend using an e-bike; alternatively, a jeep shuttle service is available.
The trail begins just downhill the bridge on its right and soon penetrates into a fairy-tale atmosphere.
Gangways and ladders allow hikers to get over cliffs and cross the torrent, next to its waterfalls, gorges, and pools.
After climbing through the forest for about 1 hour, the woods get thinner and thinner and suddenly open up onto Federa meadowlands with Mt Becco di Mezzodì looming ahead.
At the far side of the meadowland is the Malga, destination and well deserved rest stop of the hike.
