This itinerary starts from the village of Gares; park the car at the parking right before the small square of the village, then look for the signs to the Malga, which are clearly visible; follow the dirt road in the wood for almost 45 minutes until you'll reach the Malga. This easy excursion technically very easy and requires no special equipment or abilities.
