North Peak of the Cresta del

Monfalcone di Cimoliana and
the Monfalcone di Forni
the right into the pleasant grassy oasis of Casèra Vedòrcia (1704m).
Here there is a wonderful panoramic view of Crìdola, Spalti di Toro
e Monfalcóni. This is one of the most magical places in the Belluno
Dolomites. From the casèra, you climb upwards again on a fine
mule-track, flanked by rural buildings, until you reach the clearing
where the small and welcoming Capanna Tita Barba is situated at 1821
metres. An excellent stopping place.
1.30 hours from the Casèra Valle fork
5.30 hours from Rifugio Giàf.
Leaving the Capanna Tita Barba behind, continue south-eastwards
on the 350 through a dense wood up to the fork at Campo Scorz where
the 350 branches off to the left to Forcella Spe (DAY SIX). Continue to
the right (south west) on the 355 until you enter the grassy and gravely
cirque of the Pian dei Làres (1840m) where the path becomes a bit
unclear. Head directly (watch out for the signs) for the tracks that can
be seen on the overlooking Forcella Pian dei Làres (2049m), which are
reached after a steep climb. A bit further on there is a fork where the
355 goes down to the right (west) towards the Pian dei Làres and Val
Anfèla, while the path marked 372 continues left. Follow the 372, which
circles the beautiful head of the Val Anfèla. The path is easy with only
a few ups and downs. After arriving below the rocks, take the path
marked to the right (the left climbs up to Forcella Val Misera), which
crosses under the rock-faces, climbs up a small crest and a gravely
plate, finally leading to Forcella per Vedòrcia (2234m) on the crest that
links the Pale dell’Aio to Cima dei Làres. Here there is a wonderful view
of the Cavalèt basin.
Descend briefly on grass, taking care not to miss the tracks when it
is foggy, to reach a secluded pasture with the Casèra del Cavalét situated
in the middle at 1995 metres.
This is a shepherd’s shelter, in poor condition but useful as an emergency
shelter. It is hoped that an adequate restoration will be made. Located in the
lower part of the delightful basin, at the head of the Val Bosco del Bèlo, it is an
excellent starting point for walks or short climbs in the surrounding area. There
is water right in front of the casèra until about the middle of August, after that,
further up following the bed of the stream. The territory as far as the Cima Laste,
