Roadbook
With the cable car from Vigo, you can get to Ciampedie in just a few minutes. This is a spectacular natural terrace overlooking the valley, offering a breathtaking view of the Fassa Dolomites. From the top station, walk towards the Ciampedie Rifugio, then go down a short ramp and continue on level ground to the Negritella Rifugio. This is the start of path no. 540, which crosses the ski slope and enters a Swiss pine forest.
The path, one of continuous ascents and descents, unfolds between extraordinary landscapes: to your right, the jagged peaks and imposing rock faces of the Larséch; to the west, the majesty of the eastern cliffs of the Catinaccio. Step by step, the forest thins out and, in a few minutes, you find yourself in the magnificent basin of Gardeccia.
You can go back along the same route or, from Gardeccia, follow the evocative Legends Trail (Sentiero delle Leggende), which leads you to "Pian Pecei". From here, the chairlift takes you comfortably back to Ciampedie, giving you a last look from above at these timeless mountains.
