12. Five Huts Trail in the Natural Park Fanes-Senes-Braies

12. Five Huts Trail in the Natural Park Fanes-Senes-Braies

This tour is a day dream, but requires excellent physical and technical condition. You can affront steep climbs and descents whilst enjoying a fabulous panorama and admiring the beauty of flora and fauna of the area with its natural displays. The itinerary offers a sufficient number of mountain huts for a short rest. Emotions guaranteed!

Departure from the Bike Academy of Sesto by car (approx. 30 km) until reaching Ospitale, just before Cortina d’Ampezzo. From the car park you continue along a hilly part to the Malga Ra Stua and continuing you face an extremely challenging climb as far as the Fodara Vedla Hut. There then follows a steep descent until reaching Pederü and a climb to the Malga Fanes, which requires a big effort but rewards you with a marvellous panoramic view. From the Malga Fanes you once again climb for about 2 km, to then descend comfortably through the Limo Pass with its homonymous lake until reaching the departure point. Naturally you have the chance of starting this tour directly from the Bike Academy of Sesto, thus lengthening the excursion by about 60 km and adding a difference in level of 500 m.
