So you want more Dolomites? The Palaronda Trek is as Dolomites as can be! The Pale di San Martino or the Pale Group is the largest massif of the Dolomites and this rugged group of mountains hosts the spicy and legendary 4-day Palaronda Trek. The mountains here will make those on the Alta Via 1 look tiny. As a matter of fact, you're in the heart of our bestseller Alta Via 2, another dolomites hiking classic. Alta Vias left and right but with Palaronda Trek you are doing something that literally stands out. Ready to rock 'n roll? Forza!

The Palaronda Trek can be hiked in 4 days. This is a perfect package for anyone who doesn't have much time but wants to enjoy a real Italian adventure. In this package, you will hike approximately 10 kilometers per day, and you will start and end in San Martino di Castrozza. As the accommodation before and after the hike is included, you will be on the road for 6 days in total.

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.

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.
