Ciampedie - Gardeccia

This beautiful scenic high-altitude walk, ideal for the whole family, begins at Ciampedie, a sun-kissed natural terrace that offers an exceptional view over the Fassa Dolomites.

Take the cable car from Vigo and in a few minutes you will reach Ciampedie (1,998 m) with its superb view of the Fassa Dolomites. From the cable car go to the nearby Ciampedie Refuge and then down to the Negritella Refuge. The path n. 540 ("Forest Trail") starts here. It is wide and flat and, once past the ski-run, goes into the woods. As you walk, the view of the Larséch mountain to the right changes continually, and the Catinaccio mountain becomes gradually more and more imposing. You come out of the woods near a few wooden huts and in a few minutes arrive at the refuges of the Gardeccia basin.
