Introduction

Wonderful Belvedere on the Ortler group Ortler, the Beltovo top has the advantage of having a avery easy hiking access, so you can reach an altitude of more than 3300 meters with a walk without any difficulty. It is this high altitude and its position orthogonal to the central node of the group that make it as one of the most respected and popular viewpoints in the region. The large top, during the summer season, hosts dozens of hikers very often. This report discusses the ascent from the slope Solda passing through the refuge city of Milan (Schaubach-hut). Reaching the Madritsch Pass from the Martell is described in this report .

Description

From Sulden to the Refuge City of Milan you can proceed along the carriageway, which dates back to the head of the valley with a few hairpin bends and reaches the shelf where the middle station of the cable car is built. The passage is closed to private vehicles. Up to here it's better to use a narrow asphalt road that branches off from the end of the village, near a bend just before the Hotel Cornelia, proceeds along some houses to reach a vast parking lot and ends at the barracks of the firemen. Here comes off a path (marked with No. 2) which continues to the bottom of the valley, crosses the torrent, and continues in a grove, standing on the left side of the valley, climbing diagonally between low bushes and sparse vegetation on the same side. Further along the path with many twists and straightens you just end on the road quite near the above mentioned cable car station. The landscape of peaks which adorn the head of the Sulden valley is marvellous, especially on the nearby looming Great Zebrù. You pass to the right with a path that descends to a bridge and continues on towards the refuge Coston. Leave that path and proceed on the road in the direction of the already visible Refuge City of Milan, built on a moraine bastion in the center of the valley. On the right you see the great moraines and screes that adorn the base of the Great Zebrù and of the Ortler, on left is the slope of rocks and grass, which dates back to the road diagonally and then, just gets the shelter of the hill with several large bends. Until the mid-station about 40 minutes, an the same to arrive at the Refuge. Without reaching it, turn left towards the station of the cable car, leave it on the right and continue on a path that goes back some bumps behind the station and the Valley of the Madritsch in an open environment, with very thin pasture and deposits of stones. This is a huge hollow edging on the bases of glaciers and peaks on the head of the Valley, particularly interesting is the long rocky coastline that, from the top of Lago Gelato (the "frozen lake"), through the Top of Madritsch degrades over the pass of the same name.
The track proceeds on a large path in the walloon always pointing directly to the pass in a wide open, treeless and rather bare and barren environment. At an altitude of 2800 meters, just leave on the left a branch to the nearby modern Madritsch Hut (privately owned) and continue along the road. The whole valley is dotted with ugly lifts (during the summer season they are not working). The road passes by some rock layers and, early in the season, you can still find a lot of snow in the basin above the pass. In general, the trail climbs first to the left of this basin, then zig-zag back on detritus and ends at the signposts placed on the Madritsch Pass. If there is snow on the slopes can be traced directly to the center of the basin and tap the large saddle moving left to right.
Beautiful shot of an eye that opens and the peaks on the Martell's sub-Venice-Sternai Gioveretto. In the end, far away, the refuge Corsi. From the Refuge City of Milan, about an hour and a quarter.
The last half hour of ascent is made even more on traces among the debris going off the deep cone-shaped end cap prior to wide at an altitude of 3325. The top is very large and, as already said, very scenic. On the whole trip easy, but still of great satisfaction that leads to high altitude, unusual for the region, where, at this level, you usually encounter glaciers and climbing difficulties.
The return takes place on the same road.
