ds the east from the pass at 1,956m, going along main road No. 243 at the car park) and then follow the signposts to the fixed rope route. After hiking round the Torre Brunico, climb up to the waterfall .The Klettersteig-Tridentina runs right along the waterfall and is secured by wire-cables and some rungs. The route is varied, exposed but secure and leads to a grassy area at approx. 2,300m. If you wish to avoid the following section, you can walk to the Pisciadù hut via a footpath. If you wish to continue the rock climb, you must now tackle the most difficult section, which means climbing along a long exposed ladder followed by a small hanging bridge between walls over a deep ravine. Once you have accomplished this, you can then enjoy the plateau of the peak. It is not recommended to return the same way, instead, head south along a path that leads comfortably to the Pisciadù mountain hut. Approx. 3 hours Fifth stage From the Pisciadù mountain hut to Castiglioni mountain hut on the Marmolada Altitude difference: ascent 750m; descent 1280m Length of the path: approx. 19 km Hiking time: 6.30-7 hours Paths: Nos. 666, 647, 627, 601 Grade: EE, with partly secured sections This stage is rather long but fascinating and rewarding because of the spectacular panoramic views. It is possible, according to personal preference, to avoid staying overnight at the heavily frequented Pordoi pass. From the Pisciadù hut, choose path No. 666 that goes towards the south, on the eastern bank of the beautiful lake and walk along the western slope of the Cima Pisciadù. Above the Val de Tita (Tita valley), there are two different possibilities for continuing the walk: over rocks or along a section secured with wire-cables. The latter is certainly the safer of the two options. The path goes further over a scree and occasionally over snowfields before reaching a saddle where the path heads southwards then towards the west and, after climb, reaches the featureless high plateau of the Sella. When it is foggy, you must be especially vigilant in following the markings. The path now continues towards the south and crosses the high plateau (here path 649 diverges towards the west to the Sellajoch) and then finally heads down to the Zwischenkofelscharte (Ladin: “Antersass”) (col at 2,861m). Path 666 ends here and rejoins with footpath No. 647 coming up from Pian de Sciavanèis. Walk further along path No. 647, (towards the south) The Tridentina via Ferrata (fixed rope route) which snakes up to the peak of the Zwischenkofel at 2,907m. You can avoid the summit by going along a specially secured path, but when the weather is fine, the stunning view from the peak is very rewarding. From here, you descend directly down and in a short time, reach the Bamberger mountain hut (also called Boè hut), 2,871m. 2 hours from the Pisciadù mountain hut. The Bamberger mountain hut (Boè hut) was opened in 1898 and renovated in 1924. It was built on the rocky, barren ground of the Piz Boè. It belongs to the Trent Division of the Italian Alpine Club – Società Alpina Tridentina (CAI- SAT). It is a stone building with two floors and is open from 20th June until 20th September; it offers: lodging for 73 people, restaurant, toilet and shower inside the hut. Refuge in winter with four places dormitory places. Station of the mountain rescue service CNSAS “118“. Tel. +39 0471 847303 (hut) 36 FROM BRIXEN TO FELTRE THE DOLOMITES “ALTA VIA” N.2 37
From the Sass Pordoi towards Piz Ciavazes From the Boè hut (Bamberger hut), take the path No. 627, which after a short ascent almost flattens out (towards the south), leading to an altitude of 2,852m. Here, turn sharply towards the west and reach the Rifugio Forcella Pordoi 2,829m (a small private mountain hut with lodging; open from the beginning of July until the end of September). From here, you can enjoy some breathtaking panoramic views. Near the hut, (towards the west), a large steep scree slope begins which hangs on the southern face. You can follow the numerous hairpin bends or you can “slide down” over the ground covered with soft rubble. Reach a junction walking along a well maintained on the Pordoij Joch, (pass at 2,239m). 1 hours from the Boè hut 4 hours from the Pisciadù hut The Pordoijoch extends on a large green saddle between the two massifs of the Sella and the Marmolada. The panorama here is truly breathtaking. You will find some guesthouses and the Bruno Crepaz Centre - headquarters of the Italian Alpine Club. Tel. +39 0462 601279. At Pordoijoch opt for path No. 601 which leads (towards the south) in the direction of a chapel; then walk further under the eastern face of Sasso Beccèi to the saddle near the “Sass Beccèi” mountain hut (2,423m, private inn). Passing the Baita Federòla hut (2,370m private hut with inn) turn left and walk along the Vièl dal Pan. In German, Bindelweg which, literally translated, means The Way of the Bread. This ancient path connects the Fassa valley and the Agordo region. The cart path is wide and easy to walk on and consequently very busy, offering a very good view especially towards the Marmolada, which is clearly and majestically visible here. At the halfway point you arrive at Viel dal Pan hut (at 2,432m, private hut with inn) which is situated in a beautiful area. From here, the path becomes narrower and curves under the Fòrfesc (Schere in German) and the Belvedere. At the junction with path No. 698 (this leads to Porta Vescovo towards the north), path No. 601 leads towards the south and then 38 FROM BRIXEN TO FELTRE THE DOLOMITES “ALTA VIA” N.2 39
