As the gateway to a series of must-do hikes <\/strong>in Val di Fassa, Ciampedie is a vast plateau at the foot of the majestic Catinaccio. It can be easily reached by the 100-seat cable car from Vigo di Fassa or by the Vajolet and Pian Pecei four-seater chairlifts from Pera. From there, you can walk through the woods to reach Gardeccia<\/strong> and the Vajolet and Preuss huts. Alternatively, continue further to the Re Alberto hut and the Vajolet Towers<\/strong>, or to the Principe hut and the picturesque Lake Antermoia<\/strong>. Another absolute must-see area is Roda de Vael<\/strong>, via the ancient Vial de le Feide – historically used by shepherds to guide flocks in search of fresh grass – or the Alta Via dei Fassani. The wonderful Alpine passes of Passo delle Coronelle<\/strong> and Passo delle Cigolade, offering breathtaking views of the Dolomites, are also worth mentioning. <\/p>\n

But that is not all, there is much more to explore! Here below you can discover all the most beautiful hikes and walks<\/span> in the heart of Catinaccio, for both adults and children. <\/strong><\/p>\n

Hiking in the Catinaccio RosengartenAs the gateway to a series of must-do hikes in Val di Fassa, Ciampedie is a vast plateau at the foot of the majestic Catinaccio. It can be easily reached by the 100-seat cable car from Vigo di Fassa or by the Vajolet and Pian Pecei four-seater chairlifts from Pera. From there, you can walk through the woods to reach Gardeccia and the Vajolet and Preuss huts. Alternatively, continue further to the Re Alberto hut and the Vajolet Towers, or to the Principe hut and the picturesque Lake Antermoia. Another absolute must-see area is Roda de Vael, via the ancient Vial de le Feide – historically used by shepherds to guide flocks in search of fresh grass – or the Alta Via dei Fassani. The wonderful Alpine passes of Passo delle Coronelle and Passo delle Cigolade, offering breathtaking views of the Dolomites, are also worth mentioning. But that is not all, there is much more to explore! Here below you can discover all the most beautiful hikes and walks in the heart of Catinaccio, for both adults and children.
