From Col Rodella, walk down along path no. 529 and then take paths no. 557 and 557-4, also known as "Friedrich August Weg". The trail follows an easy, relatively even path at the feet of the Grohmann and Innerkofler peaks, the Dente del Sassolungo and the Sasso Piatto, then it leads onto the wide grassy saddle of the "Giogo di Fassa", with the Sasso Piatto Refuge. From here, the trail (no. 594-4) continues along the Siusi crest, then down the slope of the Val Duron to the namesake pass. Some saddles along the way give the chance to enjoy superb views on the opposite slope too, towards the Alpe di Siusi and the Odle. From the Duron Pass, the trail no. 532 descends into the Val Duron and then turns right on path no. 555, which leads to the "Ciaréjoles" Pass. Short after the pass, the path joins trail no. 580, which ascends to the right along steep curves towards the Dona Pass and flanks the southern slope of the "Cima di Dona" to reach the Antermoia Refuge.

Destination

Antermoia Refuge

Turn-by-turn directions

The tour counts 6 stages on well-indicated CAI-SAT paths. From any point, it is possible to descend to the valley and, thanks to the shuttle service, the mountain lifts or the public means, easily get back to the departure.

From Col Rodella, walk down along path no. 529 and then take paths no. 557 and 557-4, also known as "Friedrich August Weg" after the King of Saxony, a keen botanist.

Shortly after the "Ciaréjoles Pass", the path joins trail no. 580, which ascends to the right in steep curves towards the Dona Pass (2,516 m) and flanks the southern slope of the "Cima di Dona" to reach finally the Antermoia Refuge (2,497 m), where the overnight is planned. This is the heart of the Val di Fassa Dolomites, dominated by the magnificent view of the eastern wall of the Catinaccio d’Antermoia.
