The Sellastock massif and mighty appears from all sides. But for experienced mountain hikers, there are always ways to ascend this mountain massif on foot. Crossing the Sellastock becomes a lasting experience from which we can benefit for a long time. The Dolomites rock landscape is unique, the summit of Piz Boè is a magnificent viewpoint. The view ranges from the Sexten Dolomites and the Pala group to the Rosengarten, further to Bolzano and west to the Texel group, to name just a few sights.

Author’s recommendation

This mountain route is one of the gems in the heart of the Dolomites. Rocks, wide views, a scenic summit, challenging ascents and descents, what more could a mountain hiker want. We can warmly recommend this route.

Hiking without a car: This route is especially suitable for arrival and departure by public transport.
