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.
Itinerary
Day
1
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.

2
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
3
Rifugio Pradidali - Rifugio Treviso Canali
Duration: 03:30 h
Distance: 9.29 km
Ascent: 460 m
Descent: 1050 m
On the third 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.
