Cima Solda is a classic glacier climb from the Solda Valley. It's also easily accessible from the Casati refuge via a relatively easy hiking trail (there's a snowfield below the summit, which is generally unproblematic or avoidable in summer). Splendid views of Cevedale, Zebrù, and Ortles are available if you're lucky enough to find a clear day.

Monte Cevedale is a symbolic mountain of the Ortles-Cevedale group, 3,769 meters high. It establishes the border between Lombardy and Trentino-Alto Adige. To reach its summit you need good preparation and the ability to move in alpine environments.

The approach to the summit cross is somewhat exposed in winter past a wire entanglement. It may be necessary to unbuckle.

The descent from Cevedale is the only part you need to pay attention to, you need to get off early to avoid risks

In my collection of the highest "hiking peaks" of every Alpine country, Monte Vioz has replaced Rocchiamelone (and Punta Rossa del Grivola) for Italy. A higher peak that can be reached "hiking" [for me that means without glacier equipment and with a maximum of short, not too exposed climbing sections in the 1st degree] should not be found anywhere in Italy [if you know one, please message me! 🙂]. For my criterion, the only option was to leave the valley without a cable car, since it's almost 2,000 meters of ascent and descent. In addition, I wanted to take the Punta Linke with me as the 19th peak over 3500 m [in the meantime there are 21 😉]. At the end of September, the cable car and hut were already closed, but in good weather the summit could still be (almost) snow-free. Although you always have to be aware that there can be a lot of snow at this height, even in midsummer - the much-cited "alpine experience" is always recommended, despite the comparatively easy path (T3+) for the height.

The summit is only about 100 m above the hut. The summit cross is a little further ahead of the highest point. While the view to the south was already comparable from the hut, it now opens up over wide glacier areas to the north and to the Palon de la Mare.

The region boasts several impressive peaks, including Ortler Summit, the highest in South Tyrol, and Monte Cevedale Summit, a significant peak in the Ortles-Cevedale Group. Other notable summits include Monte Vioz Summit, Zufrittspitze, Laaser Orgelspitze, and Cima di Solda (Suldenspitze).
Ortler Summit is renowned for its breathtaking panoramic views, allowing you to see the Ulten Mountains, Trentino, and Swiss mountains. Monte Cevedale Summit also offers fantastic views from its top. Laaser Orgelspitze is another favorite for its spectacular vistas.
Monte Vioz Summit is considered one of the highest 'hiking peaks' in the Alps that can be reached without glacier equipment or extensive climbing, making it an attractive option for experienced hikers seeking a significant ascent.
The final ascent to Monte Cevedale Summit can be steep, up to 40 degrees, and challenging if icy, requiring constant concentration. It's recommended to have glacier equipment, appropriate alpine knowledge, and very good physical condition for this climb.
Beyond peak bagging, the Martell Valley offers numerous well-marked hiking and walking paths, ranging from cozy valley trails to panoramic mountain routes and glacier trails. You can also find opportunities for trail running, mountain biking, and in winter, snowshoeing and cross-country skiing. For specific routes, check out the Mountain Hikes, MTB Trails, and Running Trails guides for the region.

The best time depends on your desired activity. Summer and early autumn are ideal for hiking and climbing, offering generally clearer paths and more stable weather. However, even in midsummer, higher peaks can have snow. Winter provides opportunities for snowshoeing and cross-country skiing.

Yes, for example, below the summit of Monte Vioz is the Mantova del Vioz refuge, which is the highest in the Eastern Alps. The Tarscher Alm is another quaint mountain pasture offering a break, beautiful views, and delicious food.
