Sunny Valley – Dell’Alpe Pass – Mot De Li Leur – Term Plan
/in Trekking trails/by Carlo DemodeSunny Valley – Passo Dell’Alpe – Mot De Li Leur – Piano del Termine
Great War trekking trail
Trekking trail suitable for experienced walkers. The route called the Great War requires good sportsmanship and technical clothing that can be purchased in the
rh+ store
.
Starting from the Sunny Valley shelter, you will encounter, after just a few meters, the mule tracks and trenches of the Great War-a sight to be immortalized in a photo shoot. A shot that will remember, then, in a photo, the courage and suffering experienced by a group of men in the name of freedom.
Continuing on the trekking trail, you will be able to observe and enjoy with your eyes the Alpe Pass, Mot De Li Luer and the Term Plan dense with uphill hairpin bends with a maximum gradient of 449 meters.
As anticipated, the route is challenging and the average walking time is around 2-3 hours.
For arrival, therefore, Sunny Valley is perfect for resting and enjoying good Valtellina food.
In the winter of 1915, the year in which the Great War began, Santa Caterina Valfurva, with its Ortles-Cevedale-Adamello mountain giants connecting to the chain of Alps via the Stelvio Pass and the Gavia Pass, became a strategic military point for the defense of our borders.
Military defense lines were built, as high as 3,000 meters, where vantage and lookout points over the surrounding valleys ensured a perfect view of the enemy’s intentions to advance and moves.
Amid the snow and crippling cold, typical of winter in Santa Caterina Valfurva, were erected: trenches, artillery emplacements, and caves for the troops .
Today, walking the mountain trails of Valfurva and, in particular, the Sunny Valley Trail – Dell’Alpe Pass – Mot De Li Leur – Termin Floor, it is possible to find barbed-wire fences, coves dug into caves for sentry posts, and stone bridges and pavements built by soldiers to reach strategic high points for defense.
Today, Santa Caterina Valfurva is, therefore, a place that bears witness to the tragic history of our people and guardian of the pain of the young soldiers engaged in the front.

Sobretta Ridge – Sunny Valley
/in Trekking trails/by Carlo Demode
A trekking trail of medium difficulty, the Cresta Sobretta – Sunny Valley route or vice versa requires appropriate sports equipment such as specific trekking shoes and technical windproof shells. You can start from the Sunny Vally hut or from the Cresta Sobretta gondola, but we recommend that you start with the latter to enjoy lunch at the Sunny Valley’s magnificent restaurant and an afternoon of sunshine and tranquility at the hut’s solarium. Starting from the Cresta Sobretta gondola, you immediately reach the first viewpoint near the former Sobretta refuge where you can admire the vastness of the Ortles-Cevedale and Adamello mountain groups, with their powerful glacial blankets. Continuing uphill, you will reach Mount Sobretta and the second viewpoint near the Alpe Pond where we recommend you take a short break to admire the summer colors, pure nature and, if you are lucky, local animals such as marmots, deer, roe deer and foxes. In just over an hour’s trek from the starting point, you will arrive at Sunny Valley: a typical Valtellina restaurant and luxury resort in the heart of Stelvio National Park.
