The Donkey Trail, on the other hand, is a little more challenging but is considered a hiking trail.
The valley is very beautiful; between September and October, you can hear the deer bellowing and see them roaming the valley.

The Camuna High Route: Val Grande offers a challenging hike through a diverse and rugged landscape. You will navigate steep, forested valleys and towering peaks, often traversing ancient mule tracks and demanding zigzag paths. Expect to gain 2830 feet (863 metres) over its 10.5 miles (16.9 km) distance, making this a difficult route that typically takes around 5 hours and 38 minutes to complete. Along the way, you will encounter panoramic views of immense green valleys and the vivid blue of Lake Maggiore, providing a stunning backdrop to your adventure. Some sections even require handrails on cliff walls, adding to the trail's adventurous character.
Planning your visit to the Camuna High Route requires careful preparation. This is a demanding trail, so you should have good physical fitness, be sure-footed, and wear sturdy hiking shoes. Prior alpine experience is highly recommended, as certain sections present significant challenges. Be aware that parts of the route can be affected by landslides or snow, so always check local conditions before you head out. Ensuring you are well-prepared will help you enjoy this strenuous but rewarding journey.
This route takes you deep into Italy's largest wilderness area, offering an immersive experience away from crowds. As you hike, keep an eye out for abandoned stone houses scattered along the path; these structures offer a glimpse into past Alpine life and the history of the region. The trail's unique combination of natural beauty and historical remnants makes it a notable adventure for those seeking a profound connection with the landscape. It stands out as a true test of endurance within the Stelvio National Park.
