GUIDED TOURS ON THE CATINACCIO

Wednesday

8:45 a.m. ‘The Catinaccio and Vajolet Towers’. An unmissable place in the Val di Fassa is the Heart of the Catinaccio, among the jewels of the Dolomites. From Pera, the chairlifts will take us comfortably up to Prà Martin, where we will be greeted by the spectacle of the Larsech cliffs, framed by majestic peaks such as Monzoni, Costabella, Cima Uomo, Marmolada, Pordoi, Sella and Sassolungo. From here we will begin our splendid ring-route at the foot of the Catinaccio Massif and the Vajolet Towers, with a stop at the Vajolet and Preuss Refuges for a regenerating lunch. We will continue along the Sentiero Panoramico di Re Laurino (King Laurin’s Panoramic Trail), returning to Gardeccia, then on the Sentiero delle Leggende (Legend Trail) to Pian Pecei, finally returning to the cars by chairlift.

Thursday

6:50 a.m. ‘La Grande Traversata del Lago di Antermoia’ meeting point at the start of the Col Rodella cable car in Campitello. An excursion to discover the famous heart-shaped lake, nestled between the mountains of the Catinaccio d’Antermoia Group. This fairly demanding trek will be made easier by reaching Val Duron by off-road taxi. The satisfaction of reaching this enchanted place will make one forget the fatigue of the walk. We will continue towards the Antermoia Pass at 2,770 m, where the view of the Catinaccio and the Torri del Vajolet is breathtaking. After a lunch break at the Passo Principe refuge, we will descend along the beautiful Vajolet Valley, passing the Vajolet and Preuss refuges, to the Conca del Gardeccia. From Pian Pecei, two chairlifts will take us to Pera di Fassa, from where we will take the bus to Campitello. For info and reservations: tel. 0462 763125 – infovigo@fassasport.com
