Ristorante Wieserhof In Renon

16/08/2025: From the shelter at the last bus stop in Santa Magdalena, we set off along trail no. 49. Along the way, we see a stable with a hayloft upstairs. On several sides, an old wooden balcony hangs, where rakes, sickles, ox yokes, and wooden wheels hang; all things from another era. The road is paved for a stretch, but turns gravel as it begins to climb. At a crossroads, a wooden kiosk displays a pair of posters. One is for the Kradorfer Alm (1,704 meters) on trail no. 49a to the Forcella di Casies. The other is a giant poster of the Messner Hütte Alm, with a large, convenient access road suitable for strollers and prams. Below, a sign says "We're open." We arrive at an alpine pasture with barns and old, abandoned houses. At the base of one of the walls, two old wooden sled runners, stored there for an unlikely future use. The structures are made of larch wood, now grayed by time. On the ridge, many clouds are gathering, threatening rain, and like many others, we too head back down. On the way back, we decide to make a quick stop at Malga Messner, precisely to try one of the daily desserts listed on the blackboard at the entrance. Malga Messner is a beautiful wooden building in Tyrolean style, complete with a panoramic terrace. The ambience is well-kept, both outside (on the terrace) and inside. A modern, state-of-the-art stove blends perfectly with the interior. At the windows, colorful, ornate curtains frame the views beyond, like paintings.
