Monte Mulaz Hike

From the Passo Rolle trailhead, cross the road and follow the trail heading due north. After about 500 meters, you will reach an intersection with the Strada Val Venegia. Take the unnumbered trail that climbs parallel to the track to Baita Segantini. Switch to the Strada Val Venegia there, which winds down toward Val Venegia, a wide, pastoral valley dominated to the east by the Pale di San Martino. Before reaching the bottom of the valley, turn right toward the northeast onto Trail 710A. This trail quickly joins Trail 710, which heads toward Passo Mulaz. Since the landslide in September 2025, which led to the closure of the lower valley section of Trail 710, this alternative route has become the standard route.

This section is quite challenging, with steep switchbacks, scree to cross, and passages beneath the impressive, vertical cliffs of the Pale di San Martino. The slope eases briefly on a flat section before the final ascent to Passo Mulaz (2,619 m). There are clear trail markers, consistent signs for Rifugio Mulaz, and a perfectly maintained trail.

At the pass, do not descend toward Rifugio Mulaz, which is visible about ten minutes below. Instead, take the trail that branches off to the left (north) a few dozen meters past the pass. This section is neither marked nor signposted; you must carefully follow the cairns because numerous false paths lead off into the scree. The simple rule is that if the path leads you to a tricky section, you've likely strayed from the main path. In that case, turn back. There are no significant technical sections, but the terrain is difficult, consisting of scree and unstable loose rocks between the pass and the summit cross. Return via the same route.
