Selected alternatives for you

Suitable for all those who are well trained, both for the passage over the Forcella Sasso Lungo ⚠️ and for the distance (15 km) and naturally the duration (6h00) without counting the stops. This route offers breathtaking landscapes such as the Sella Group with the Pordoi peak, the Marmolada, and the Catinaccio. After the descent from Forcella Sasso Lungo, the spectacle of Val Gardena with the Puez Group opens up before you. An unforgettable day.
