Tips from the Community
Malga Fiorentina is a mountain dairy complex owned by the Regole di San Vito di Cadore. It is located at 1,792 meters above sea level, within the Monte Pelmo-Mondeval-Formin SCI (Site of Community Importance). It consists of three buildings: a dairy hut, a stable (or stall), and the shepherd's quarters. The stable, recently undergoing extraordinary renovation with funds from the PNRR (National Plan for the Protection of the Environment), was built in the 1920s thanks to war damage compensation paid by the former Austro-Hungarian Empire. It had a capacity of approximately 150 dairy cows. The mountain pastures were brought up to the pastures on foot from San Vito via the Forcella Forada Pass. While the cows stopped in the Fiorentina Valley, the heifers and calves were taken to the mountain pastures at Malga Prendera, after acclimatizing at Pian de la Viza dei Bagnes. It features a roof of larch beams covered with shingles, recently replaced while fully respecting the existing architectural features. The alpine pasture complex is easily accessible via the dirt road (CAI trail 467) that branches off from the SP251. The Malga Fiorentina complex and its pasture area are regularly used during the summer season for livestock grazing. The lease stipulates that the stables be made available and accessible to the public for tours, aimed at understanding the building's function and the conservation process.
