The Milk Trail is an informative hike that gives you insights into dairy farming and South Tyrolean culture. The route is particularly suitable for nature lovers and anyone interested in learning more about alpine farming traditions.

Further information and useful links

The starting point is the Berg am Boden parking lot at the head of the Vals Valley. From there, follow the signs towards the Fane Alm. Begin with a short section along the paved road until you cross the stream by the Kurzkofelhütte. This is where the Milk Trail, trail no. 17, begins and climbs steadily uphill. Information boards along the route provide insights into South Tyrolean dairy farming.

After the ascent, you reach the Fane Alm, an alpine village surrounded by mountains.
