TOUR DESCRIPTION

The equipped trail combines magnificent views with interesting historical sites from the Great War.

It is a challenging hike that starts at the San Pellegrino Pass at around 1,800 m and reaches an altitude of 2,300–2,500 m throughout the entire route.

From the top station of the Costabella’s chairlift, you reach the “Passo delle Selle” mountain hut (Bergvagabunden Hütte) by following path no. 616, which was laid out during the First World War. You continue along a secured section to the “Ricoletta” pass (around 2.5 hours from Passo delle Selle).

From here, you can descend towards “Fango” via path no. 616/b (approximately 1.5 hours), or continue on to “Cima Malinverno” and “Forcella della Costella” (1.5 hours from “Forcella Ricoletta”) to descend to “Ronchi” via path no. 624 and carry on to Moena.

We recommend using a safety lanyard and arranging transport in advance.
