"Malga posta in fondo alla Valle Lunga, bel terrazzo su cui mangiare con vista incantevole. Superlativo il tris di canederli e ottime le patate rosticciate con carne. Buonissima anche la radler media ghiacciata. Buon rapporto qualità/quantità/prezzo soprattutto perché in malga. Assolutamente da provare. Terrazza dog friendly"

"Da Melago la camminata segue il corso del fiume, il cartello del sentiero indica 45 minuti ... facciamo un'oretta ma la camminata è facile Assaggiato il tris di canederli con cavolo cappuccio veramente buoni e maccheroni al pastore buono e abbondante"

"Partendo da Melago dopo una breve camminata a leggera pendenza si arriva a questa Malga immersa nel verde e nella tranquillità. Non ho avuto modo di provare tutte le loro bontà ma mi è bastato vedere il pane con lo speck, un ottima presentazione per un cibo semplice. Producono yogurt e formaggi che possono anche essere acquistati, Io ho provato lo yogurt con i mirtilli e mi è piaciuto molto. Ha anche una zona relax esterna con divanetti. Gestione molto cordiale."

"Die Lage dieser Alm ist gigantisch...der Blick auf die Dreitausender. Die Einrichtung sauber und modern, gleichwohl gemütlich. Wir hatten Knödel in allen Variationen und alles war sehr lecker. Den leichten Aufstieg von Melag in 45 min. können wir nur empfehlen."

"A circa 40 minuti dal borgo di Melago si trova questa malga che merita davvero una sosta. Piatti tipici locali cucinati con cura, porzioni generose e prezzi onesti. Da non perdere il liquore offerto dalla casa, definito una “medicina” squisito e perfetto per concludere il pasto. La posizione è incantevole, ideale per chi rientra da un trekking: il paesaggio circostante regala scorci mozzafiato che restano impressi nella memoria."

"Wir sind mit den Langlaufski an zwei Tagen die Venosta Runde (~7.5km) gefahren und auf halber Strecke auf an Cappuccino an der Melager Alm gerastet. Diese liegt sehr malerisch vor der Weisskogelgruppe und ist gemütlich wie modern, mit Sitzgelegenheiten drinnen wie draußen an der frischen Winterluft. Die Getränke waren reichlich und super von der Qualität, die Wirtsleut sehr freundlich und gut gelaunt, drum sind wir auch ein zweites Mal dort vorbeigekommen. Gegessen ham wir nix drum kann ich zu den Speisen sagen, aber was wir so um uns herum an Spinatknödeln und Suppenschüsseln gesehen haben hat auch echt top ausgeschaut. Man kann mit dem Pferdeschlitten dort hinauffahren, das haben einige Leute dort gemacht. Weiters ist der Verzehr von selbst mitgebrachtem Essen - wie mittlerweile zurecht auf Hütten üblich - nicht erwünscht und die lieben Vierbeiner müssen (glaub ich) draußen abchillen. Am Samstagvormittag so gegen 11 Uhr waren wir die ersten und einzigen Gäste und saßen drinnen, Sonntagmittag um halb zwei waren jedoch alle Tische schon belegt und somit haben wir unsere Heissgetränke draußen genossen. Am Nachmittag wirds halt frisch wenn die Sonne von den Bergen verschattet wird und so hats halt manchen leichtbekleideten a bissle kalt derwischt. Also, Jacke, Handschuhe und Mütze einpacken. Tipp: Mit Langlaufski hochfahren oder mit Grödeln und Wanderstöcken naufwandern, ist landschaftlich wunderschön dort. Wir kommen wieder"
