Malga Federa

Perched at 1,816 meters on the quiet slopes above Cortina, Malga Federa feels like stepping into another rhythm of life. 

The Bernardi Amedeo family keeps alive the traditions of this alpine farmstead, where hikers pause not only for rest but to share in a way of living shaped by pastures, animals, and mountain seasons. 

On the table arrive recipes that taste of the land—homemade gnocchi, rich soups, cheeses, and sweets. 

From the terrace, the gaze stretches toward Croda da Lago and across the Ampezzo basin, while the air carries only the sound of cowbells and the rustle of larch trees. More than a stop along the trail, Malga Federa is a small world where simplicity, flavor, and landscape merge into one lasting memory.
