What are the Malghe?

Those unfamiliar with the terminology of the mountains and pastures may have never heard of the Malghe del Trevigiano. By "malga" or "alpe" we mean an alpine pasture consisting of a rustic hut built in stone or wood, used by shepherds during the summer as a refuge for animals, but also as a dairy for the processing of milk and its derivatives . Usually this pasture activity mainly concerns head of cattle that can enjoy the very high quality of the pastures of the Treviso and Cesen Prealps, ideal for their proper nutrition, for the proper development of their muscle mass and healthy growth. Normally used between June and September, the mountain huts increasingly become an attraction for hikers and tourists who wish to visit Treviso and its territories, attracted by the beauty of the landscapes, but also by the rustic charm of the mountain pastures and the goodness of its products.


Visit the Malghe del Cesen on foot

Taking a walk among the huts of Cesen is one of the most beautiful experiences in contact with nature to do among those made available by tourism in Treviso and its province. Among the simpler routes to do on foot, we suggest the ring route that develops around the Cesen Massif, with an itinerary that includes: Pianezze - Pian di Farné - Posa Puner - Mariech - Capitel di Garda - Pianezze. Walking through the huts of this route it will be possible to admire the splendid panorama of the Prosecco Hills, walk in the woods among lush trees and, with a little luck, spot herds of deer, then coming into contact with the truest culture of the pasture and its tasty and genuine products.
