Rif. Città di Fiume » Pieve di Livinallongo
|
|
This is rather a long stage and mostly downhill. Along the way is an important archaeological site from the Mesolithic period, the burial place of the Mondeval man. The trail goes over the Giau pass. The long descent towards Pieve di Livinallongo affords fine views over Marmolada.
Detailed route description
From the Città di Fiume hut, trail 467 northwards follows the Alta via n. 1 trail. It leads through the Forca de la Puina pass (2034m), the Forcella de Col Roan pass (2075m – link to trail 458), the Malga Prendèra hut (2148m – link to trail 436), the Forcella Col Duron pass, around the foot of Mount Becco di Mezzodì (link to trails 434 - 466) to the Forcella Ambrizzòla pass (2277m). From there it is possible to follow trail 434 to the Croda da Lago-Palmieri hut (CAI – food and accommodation available – links to trails 435 & 466) with views over the Cortina d’Ampezzo valley. From the Forcella Ambrizzòla pass the Via Alpina trail continues along the Alta via trail n. 1, which takes a turn westwards and passes the extremely important archaeological burial site of the Mesolithic Mondeval man near the Malga Mondeval de Sora hut (2158m). It continues across the Mondeval habitat, skirting around the beautiful Lake Baste, below the overhanging cliffs of Lastoni di Formin, to the Forcella Giau pass (2360m – links to trail 465) and heads down into the valley below. Once past the Forcella di Zonia pass, it heads to the Giau pass (2236m, food and accommodation available).

From the Giau pass head down, westwards, through fields to the Fedare hut (2000m, food and accommodation available – links to trail 464). Continue along gentle fields which command extensive views over the Marmolada range. Then take trail 441 to the SS48 road, near the fork to Andrai Castle (1804m).

At the typical village of Castello, with the impressive remains of the Buchenstein castle (Sentiero delle Miniere del Fursil (old mining) trail – practice wall), the Via Alpina trail continues, steep at first, then gentle, to the small village of Agai (1776m) and, by road, to the village of Palla and the important town of Pieve di Livinallongo (1470m).
