From San Martino di Castrozza, take the Colverde Cableway and then the 712 path to reach the start of the recently renovated via ferrata called “Bolver Lugli al Cimon della Pala”. This very panoramic and lofty via ferrata goes up the southern side of Cimon della Pala and permits to reach the Fiamme Gialle bivouac (3005 m). From the bivouac, walk downhill towards Passo del Travignolo (2935 m), to admire the wonderful view on Val Venegia. From Passo del Travignolo, in about one hour it is possible to climb up to the top of the near Cima della Vezzana (3192 m) following the 716 path, and reach the highest Peak of the mountain range of Pale di San Martino. To get back to the Rosetta Hut, walk down the slope of Val dei Cantoni on the 716 path and climb up to Passo Bettega (2660 m), then reach the Pale di San Martino plateau and the Hut (2581 m).

From the Velo della Madonna Hut, go up to Cima della Stanga (2550 m) along the 742 path (also called the “del Cacciatore” path), walking down Val Pradidali under the impressive eastern face of Sass Maor. Once you get to the spot called Pedemonte (also “Pòrtela” 1627 m) continue on the 709 path towards the Pradidali Hut (2278 m).

Alternatively, from Cima della Stanga it is possible to follow the 747 path (also called “Buzzati” path) instead of the “del Cacciatore” path, which in locality Pedemonte (Portèla) joins the original route.

DETOUR DUE TO TRAIL CLOSURE

From the Rifugio Velo della Madonna, follow trail 721 and 739B towards the “Ferrata della Vecchia”. Once you arrive in Porton, follow trail 739A for the “Ferrata del Porton” which leads to the stage’s destination, the Rifugio Pradidali.
