Want more Dolomites? The Palaronda Trek is as Dolomites as it gets! Looking for a more classic hut-to-hut trek in the Dolomites? The Pale di San Martino is the largest massif in the Dolomites and is home to the challenging and legendary 4-day Palaronda Trek. The mountains here make those of the Alta Via 1 look small. In fact, you are right in the heart of our bestseller Alta Via 2, another Dolomites trekking classic. Alta Via’s left and right, but with the Palaronda Trek you do something that literally stands out. Ready for rock 'n roll? Forza!

Interested in a 4-day hut-to-hut trek in the Dolomites? The Palaronda Trek can be completed in just 4 days, making it the perfect option for those short on time but eager to enjoy a true Italian adventure. This itinerary starts and ends in San Martino di Castrozza, covering an average of 10 kilometers per day.

Itinerary

Day

San Martino di Castrozza - Rifugio Alpino Rosetta "Giovanni Pedrotti"

Duration: 02:45 h

Distance: 6.19 km

Ascent: 1100 m

The best place to park is at the Colverde-Rosetta cable car valley station. From there, you first take the forest road towards Val di Roda until you reach a crossroads, from where trail no. 725 Sentiero del Cacciatore leads hikers up to Colverde. Continue along trail no. 701 towards Rifugio Rosetta on the high plateau of the Pala Group. A short time later you reach Rifugio Rosetta. Those who are early and still feeling energetic can also climb Rosetta peak. This takes about 20 minutes - the views will obviously be worth it.

Day

Rifugio Alpino Rosetta "Giovanni Pedrotti" - Rifugio Pradidali

Duration: 03:20 h

Distance: 10.1 km

Ascent: 310 m

Descent: 620 m

At Rifugio Rosetta the actual Palaronda Trek begins. From the hut, trail no. 709 leads to the foot of the Fradusta Glacier. On the left flank of the glacier, the trail climbs for 1.5 hours and ends on the Cima Fradusta at 2.939 meters with its great views. You are now in the heart of the Pale di San Martino, the Pala Group. Return along the same path to the Pradidali Basso Pass. From there, descend into the upper Val Pradidali and continue hiking to Rifugio Pradidali. It's beer time.

Day

Rifugio Pradidali - Rifugio Treviso Canali

Duration: 03:30 h

Distance: 9.3 km

Ascent: 460 m

Descent: 1050 m

On this day, trail no. 709 leads from Rifugio Pradidali into Val Pradidali. There, the route is accompanied by cliffs that rise vertically into the sky as far as Val Canali. Turn left and follow the trail past the ruins of Alpe Malga Pradidali to Malga Canali. A stop here is rewarding.

Those who want to and have energy left turn right about 500 meters before Malga Canali and will reach the Lake of Villa Welsperg after about three kilometers. This shimmering emerald-green lake will be worth your extra time. Back again and finally on trail no. 707 to the stage destination, a Dolomite classic, Rifugio Treviso.

Follow trail No. 707 again, this time into the wide Vallone del Coro valley. After a steady climb, you will reach the Canalipas at the eastern edge of the plateau. Continue on path No. 707 to complete the circuit back at Rifugio Rosetta. For the final descent to San Martino di Castrozza, most hikers take the cable car. The choice is yours!
