The Cave Trail: A Spectacular Hike in Molveno

The Cave Trail near Molveno is a truly memorable hiking experience, offering stunning views and unique terrain. To make the hike easier, you can skip the steep sections by taking the gondola and chairlift up to Rifugio La Montanara, where the trail becomes relatively flat.

From there, it’s only a short hike to the highlight of the hike — the Cave Trail. This narrow path winds through rocky terrain and even passes through caves, offering breathtaking views of the surrounding Brenta Dolomites. It’s a one-of-a-kind experience and perfect for those who love dramatic landscapes.

If you’d like to extend your hike, you can continue on to the Rifugio Cross dell Altissimo, a great place to stop for a meal or refreshments. Be sure to check in advance if the hut is open, as availability may vary.

If you started with the gondola and chairlift, you can simply hike back the same way and enjoy a well-deserved break at Rifugio La Montanara. For those with extra time and energy, consider continue the hike from there to Croz dell Altissimo for even more spectacular views.
