Among the most famous and interesting trekking trails offer by this area, we have chosen: the Pelmo mountain route (3.168 metres a.s.l.) that offers a glimpse on wonderful landscapes, the “via ferrata” on Marmolada (3.343 metres a.s.l.) the most evocative and hard path on the Dolomites (required climbers, pickaxe, climbing harness and ropes) and, finally, the hiking path to Bureloni’s peak (3.130 metres a.s.l.), always spellbinding and fascinating.
