Description

Update information

Characteristics

Great round, one of the most rewarding tours in the Pala. The focus is on the mountain experience and not the short, well-secured via ferrata. The whole tour runs in a wild rock scenery with ravines and niches and finds the highlight in the optional tour on the imposing Croda Granda. Descent "Sentiero Vani Alti" and ascent to Croda Granda are not secured with steel cables (have been removed) and require climbing and alpine experience.

Arrival

A22 Brennero motorway to the exit Auer/Ora and on the state road 48 to Predazzo, continue on the state road 50 via the Passo di Rolle to Fiera di Primiero. Turn left towards Passo Cereda / Agordo and after the first bends turn left (straight) into Val Canali to the Rif. Cant del Gal. You can drive further 1,2 km from the hut to a small hiking car park.

Approach

From the car park on route 707 to the Rif. Treviso (1631 m, 1 hour), past the junction "Vani Alti" to the fork of Via ferrata Fiamme Gialle (board) and continue to the entrance at 2410 m (2 hours from Rif. Treviso).

Exit

Inexperienced climbers are best off again via the via ferrata (2,5 hours to Malga Canali). Descent Vani Alti: From the Forcella del Marmor to Bivacco Reali (15 min.) and continue slightly uphill in the east flank of the Cima Vani Alti (2728 m), following the path marked with red dots in the direction of "Vani Alti" to a saddle. From there, descend between the Cima Vani Alti and the more prominent Sass da Camp (2733 m) until the path leads into a ridge with rock slabs, the Forcella Vani Alti (2518 m, N46.24129, E11.92101). Then right down towards Rifugio Treviso (red inscription on stone) to a crag, which zigzags on ribbons (1+), climb down to the foothills (N46.24073, E11.91831) - weak red marks. From the foot of the wall through the Vallone Vani Alti until you reach at 1959 m (red mark "Vani Alti", N46.24312, E11.91137) the way 707 to the Rif. Treviso again, which one follows back to the starting point.

Interesting facts

Tip: Start the round with the climb over the Sentiero Vani Alti, so that you can do the unsecured climbing on the ascent.
