Excursions in the side valleys
: |
| MOENA
SAS DA CIAMP |
From
the village of Moena go to the hamlet of Sorte,
follow the road round by the church, which is
dedicated to Saint Joseph. Keep going up the steep
asphalt road to the Malga Panna Restaurant. Start
walking along the easy dirt road to Penìa
(30 mins). At Penìa a traditional Ladin
house, now café and restaurant, offers
the chance to get refreshments. Nearby is a tiny
chapel dedicated to Saint Giovanni Nepomuceno.
Now you need to make the steep climb up to Sas
da Ciamp (path no. 521), although shade and frequent
turns in the path make the going a little easier.
As the trees gradually become sparser you will
notice that they are mainly ancient larches. The
climb eases off round the southern spur of the
Sas da Ciamp, and the plain of Predazzo is visible
with the Lagorai mountains in the background.
When you reach a tumbled-down old barn, turn right
and climb up the grassy slope to the peak itself
(2,265 m) (2 hrs; 2 hrs 30) to enjoy views of
Moena and the valley of San Pelegrino. |

| RONCHI
- FANGO |
First
you need to get to the parking space on the main
road to the Pas de Sèn Pelegrin which lies
on the right, slightly further on than the Alpe
Lusia cabin-lift, and just before the bend in
the road and the bridge over the Ruf de Sèn
Pelegrin. Walk along the forest road which runs
along the stream. The going is easy apart from
three steep sections of 200/250 m apiece. You
will come to a landslide which destroyed a large
portion of the forest a few years ago. On the
right is path no. 625 to the Malga Colvere. Cross
the stream to reach the picnic area at Fanch .

| ALBA
DI CANAZEI - VAL CONTURINA |
Go
to the cable-car station at Alba (1,517 m), and
set off on the mule-track which is marked path
no. 602. The first part of the climb is fairly
steep, as far as the Baita Locia Contrin (1,736
m). After this it becomes flatter as you walk
through a sparse wood and then the meadows of
the upper valley. There are magnificent peaks
all around: the Colac to the right, the Vernel
and the Marmolada to the left, the Cime di Ombretta
to the east. Cross the Ruf de Contrin stream and
then climb up through the larch trees to the Rifugio
Contrin . |
