Canali peak from the Pradidali<br />
300m before continuing downwards over an extraordinary series of<br />
hairpin bends. After the Col de le Fede, leave path No. 702 that leads<br />
further down to San Martino and go further along path No. 715,<br />
which soon becomes increasingly demanding. Although it is partly<br />
secured using wire-cables in the rocks for around 100m, the path is<br />
certainly not too difficult to overcome.<br />
After the rock face, climb up to Passo di Ball (pass at 2,433m).<br />
From here head downwards, taking in the stunning view of the<br />
Canali and Sass Maòr summits. After a short walk, you reach the<br />
Pradidali hut (at 2,278m).<br />
2 hours from the Rosetta mountain hut.<br />
The Pradidàli mountain hut was built in 1896 and renovated in 1959. The<br />
hut consists of three floors situated on a rocky plateau and is surrounded by<br />
soaring mountains. It belongs to the Treviso Division of the Italian Alpine Club.<br />
The mountain hut offers home-cooked food and 66 beds; refuge in winter for<br />
four people; water inside; open from 20th June to 20th September. Electricity is<br />
produced by power unit. Station of the mountain rescue service CNSAS “118”.<br />
Tel. +39 0439 64180. (mountain hut)<br />
At the Pradidali Hut, opt for path No. 709 that leads towards the<br />
northeast in the direction of a mountain lake. Pass the lake and turn<br />
right at a junction. Leave path No. 709 here, which heads off to the<br />
left (NE) and follow the path No. 711. This route is rather demanding<br />
as it runs across rocky terrain (graded ‘difficult’) to a terrace with<br />
stone rubble. It is important to be cautious as it can be difficult to see<br />
the path markings and occasionally there are still some thin sheets of<br />
ice remaining in summer, which can pose a danger.<br />
When you have passed an area with loose rocks and rock walls,<br />
you reach the Passo delle Lede (pass at 2,695m). Descend on the<br />
opposite slope through a gully full of rocky rubble. Go further<br />
(towards the southeast) along the left side of the depression of the<br />
Vallon delle Lede (sunken or depressed geological formation) Cross<br />
some ground with more rocks and a few grassy patches and you pass<br />
the wreckage of an old American aeroplane, which crashed in 1957.<br />
