Campitello di Fassa- Rifugio Des Alpes - Rifugio Antermoia

Duration: 05:15 h
Distance: 12.2 km
Ascent: 770 m
Descent: 660 m

The journey begins in Campitello di Fassa. The Col Rodella cable car that normally departs from Campitello will be closed during the 2025 summer season. Instead, you’ll need to start from the Pradel-Rodella lift, which is located approximately 7 km up the valley.

From Laghetto Lupo Bianco, the cable car provides a scenic ascent toward Col Rodella (2,485 m), saving time and energy while treating you to sweeping views of the Dolomites. Once at the top station, a short and panoramic walk leads to Rifugio Des Alpes, a perfect spot to pause and soak in the majestic surroundings of the Sassolungo massif and the Sella Group.

From here, the trail winds through rocky landscapes and alpine meadows, gradually leading into the heart of the Val Duron valley. As you ascend, the terrain becomes more rugged, and the scenery more dramatic, with towering peaks and glacial lakes setting the stage for the next highlight of the trek. By evening, you'll reach the iconic Rifugio Antermoia, nestled near the emerald waters of Lago d’Antermoia, where a warm meal and a cozy refuge await—preparing you for the adventures ahead.

Rifugio Antermoia - Rifugio Vajolet

Duration: 02:30 h
Distance: 5.07 km
Ascent: 260 m
Descent: 520 m

This short and scenic stage follows trail 584, the easiest and most accessible route between Rifugio Antermoia and Rifugio Vajolet. It’s the recommended option for trekkers with little experience—but also a smart choice at the beginning of the season, when snow may still linger on higher trails, or during unsettled weather conditions.

The trail begins by skirting the tranquil Lago di Antermoia. Heading west, you'll enjoy expansive views towards the Catinaccio Group and the Vajolet Towers as the path leads you gently to Rifugio Passo Principe—a welcoming hut and a perfect spot for a short break. From there, the trail continues southward, offering a stunning view from Grasleiten Pass into the Rosengarten Valley, before reaching Rifugio Vajolet.

Because of its shorter distance and moderate terrain, this route allows you to take your time. Pause by the lake, enjoy a longer rest, or simply walk at your own pace while soaking in the scenery. If you prefer a longer and more challenging alternative, you can follow route 583 over the Passo delle Pope.

Duration: 04:15 h
Distance: 9.8 km
Ascent: 370 m
Descent: 840 m

This last stage takes you on a spectacular journey through the Rosengarten Group, a fitting end to your trek. Along the way you'll see towering peaks such as the Rosengartenspitze (Cima Catinaccio, 2981m) and the Tschager Spitze (Cima Coronelle, 2,797m). Halfway you'll reach the Col de Ciampac (2,316m), a panoramic viewpoint, the perfect place to stop, catch your breath and enjoy the scenery.

The final stretch is a gentle descent to the Costalunga Pass (1,752m), the gateway between the Fassa and Ega valleys. You'll pass through peaceful meadows, quiet pinewoods and open spaces with views of the Roda di Vaèl massif.

At the Passo Costalunga go to the bus stop and take the bus to your hotel in a village of the Val di Fassa.
