Ielma di sotto Alm

Similarly to a few other shelters in the region, the traditional boiler for milk processing, known as the “musse”, has been conserved in Lower Ielma. The first documents referring to this malga date back to as early as the thirteenth century. Above the basin where the malga is located, the slopes of the San Pietro Hill are peppered with larches, spruce trees and a few specimens of beech trees, while many raspberries can be found in the undergrowth. The malga is open during the first and last weeks of pasture, while activities move to malga Ielma di Sotto during the intermediate period. By proceeding leftwards from the crossroads - located shortly after the shelter - visitors can reach San Giacomo; by proceeding straight ahead from here, you can climb a few short hairpin bends towards the nearby Ielma di Sopra shelter and then towards malga Pieltinis.
