Want the Dolomites, but with a bit more time to breathe it all in? The Mezza Palaronda is your golden ticket. This 5-day route covers the southern half of the Pale di San Martino, the wildest corner of the Dolomites. It's rugged, it's real, and it’s ideal for intermediate hikers who like a challenge without the chaos. You’ll sleep in legendary huts like Pradidali, Passo Cereda or Treviso, and hike through the heart of the Parco Naturale Paneveggio–Pale di San Martino.

Each day brings new terrain: rocky paths, quiet valleys, scenic ridgelines. And when your legs are toast? You can ride the cable car from Rosetta back into San Martino di Castrozza like a Dolomite boss. It's not the full circuit, but it's more than enough to make you feel like you've achieved something great! Mezza in name, mighty in experience.

  • Accommodation

    During your Palaronda Trek, you will spend your nights in mountain huts. In the mountain huts we normally only book dormitories, but we can look into private rooms on request. If the private rooms are fully booked or not available in the hut, we automatically book a bed in dormitories for you. Please note that private rooms are more expensive and there will be an additional charge for this.

    Accommodation at the huts includes dinner and breakfast. We will arrange this for you as well. This allows you to travel lighter and have one less thing to worry about. Bear in mind that lunch is not included, but it can be purchased at the huts. Here you can also buy an array of snacks and bottled water.
