Viel Del Pan and Marmolada
you come across the valley station of the Marmolada cable car with
its three sections: the first reaches the 2,350m of altitude on the
Antermoia, the second 2,950m on the Serauta, and the third 3,270m
on the Punta Rocca. This is an excellent tourist route for those who
want to combine a walk without any great physical effort and enjoy
the beauty of the nature, which is readily available.
From the Malga Ciapèla, follow path No. 610 (towards the west),
past a camping site and near a rural tourist area. Subsequently slope
begin to lead uphill. At 1,638m, path No. 610 heads uphill and to the
right in the direction of Malga Ombretta; then turns left (towards the
south). Path No. 689 branches off on to the cart path of the Val de
Franzedàz. The path suddenly bends and leads through serpentine
(towards the southwest) at an altitude of 1,950m. Here, the path goes
left (towards the east) in direction of Franzedàz. Stay on this path
(right) i.e. remain on the path number 689, which becomes a wellmaintained
cart path and walk to the junction at 2,250m. Here, leave
this path (it continues left towards the south, named the Alta via
dei Pastori – The Shepherd’s Path) and take (right) the path No. 694
(towards the southwest) which leads to some hairpin bends to the
Forca Rossa, 2,490m, between Pizzo Le Crene and Col Becher..
On the other side of the col head downwards, initially along path
No. 694 for a short while until, at approx. 2,500m, you take path
No. 670, which leads along a reddish slope down (towards the southwest)
to Valfredda. Head now through some grassy hollows and
finally, after a twist towards the northeast, you reach a small valley
with numerous barns - a perfect area for walking and enjoying the
wonderful flora. The Furciàde mountain hut is situated in wonderful
mountain scenery at 1,982m.
