RODA DE VAEL

A wonderful hike in the heart of the Catinaccio-Rosengarten range, part of the Dolomites, a UNESCO World Heritage Site.

This hike starts at the Paolina Mountain Hut, which can be reached by a comfortable chairlift from Passo Costalunga.

The trail starts with a steep climb for about 200 meters before leveling off to the Roda De Vael mountain hut.

🦌 We have a great chance to see marmots and chamois.

The trail is NOT suitable for strollers.

Lunch is on your own or, by reservation only, at the refuge.

Meeting point and time: 8:30 a.m. at the hotel reception
