The best thing about the “Drei Zinnen” isn’t the hotel at all, but what is immediately beyond the front door. Endless
hiking and walking trails, climbing routes and
mountain biking tracks through forests and passes and across plateaus. Bikes can be stored in our bike cellar. For all those who promise not to annoy the hikers! Hill-walking, trekking, hiking - whatever you care to call it, has always been a favourite sport. Come and enjoy these activities in the charming surroundings of the Sesto Dolomites. You will walk before a splendid backdrop of imposing peaks with great views, over thrilling climbing trails and ever varying paths, and you can end your adventure trip in the pleasant atmosphere of one of the many cosy mountain huts. When summer comes, the conditions in the mountains are ideal for all kinds of excursions. In these pages you can find good advice on how to spend an active holiday, ranging from classic outings to some rather special proposals. Hiking along the old wartime trails - history enthusiasts will be keen to go trekking in this area: Sesto saw combat during the First World War, when the Dolomite front included the Three Peaks of Lavaredo and Monte Piano. This area is without doubt a real “trekking paradise” for every hiker; whether you go alone or with a guide (every week our guests can take part free of charge in 3 one-day or half-day excursions organised by the Sesto Alpine School), there is something to suit all tastes! Here are some hiking and climbing suggestions: E X C U R S I O N S From Val Fiscalina to the Three Peaks of Lavaredo: The starting point is the car park at Val Fiscalina. Itinerary: Val Fiscalina – Fondo Valle Hut – Zsigmondy-Comici Hut – Pian di Cengia Hut – Three Peaks of Lavaredo Hut – Val Sassovecchio – Val Fiscalina Time: 6 – 7 hours Description: from Val Fiscalina you go as far as the Fondo Valle Hut, from which you go up through Val Sassovecchio and the Upper Val Fiscalina to the Zsigmondy Hut, always in sight of the magnificent views of the rocky landscapes of the Sesto Dolomites. From the Zsigmondy Hut you proceed over rocky terrain to the Pian di Cengia Hut, from which you go steeply down to the Three Peaks of Lavaredo Hut. Before you stand the impressive “Three Peaks of Lavaredo”. From the Three Peaks of Lavaredo Hut you take the marked return path, passing through Val Sassovecchio till you get back to the starting point in Val Fiscalina. Type: easy high-level hike over well marked trails. Following this classic route, hikers can fully enjoy the perfect beauty of the Sesto Dolomites. The view of the north faces of the Three Peaks of Lavaredo is unforgettable. Prati di Croda Rossa Starting point: Bagni di Moso, bottom station of the cable car to the Meadows or Prati di Croda Rossa Itinerary: Top station - Prati di Croda Rossa - Monte Croce Pass Time: 2 – 2.5 hours Take the Croda Rossa cable car up to the top station, from which you walk across the fairly flat Meadows of Croda Rossa, then up through a wooded area followed by the rocky formations of Croda Rossa di Sesto and on to the Monte Croce Pass. You will walk on old war trails of the First World War. Returning from the Monte Croce Pass you can take the "Sesto Trail" back to your starting point. Type: easy mountain hike over good trails. The route offers an excellent overview of the geology and the cultural landscape of Sesto. Monte Casella di Fuori and Monte Casella di Dentro Starting point: Unterdorf di Sesto, Ferrara district Itinerary: Ferrara– Monte Casella di Fuori – Monte Casella di Dentro – Sesto Time: 4.5 – 5 hours Type: easy mountain hike over well marked trails. The meadows of Monte Casella are characterised by a wide variety of flora, a precious suggestion for nature-lovers and people in search of relaxation. They also offer a magnificent view of the scenery of the Sesto Sundial. Excursion to the mountain pastures Starting point: Sesto / Moso or Monte Croce Pass (several variants are possible) Itinerary: from Sesto/Moso over the so-called "Oltl" on a forest road through thick woods up to Malga Klammbach; from Malga Klammbach you continue along the High Trail to Malga di Nemes with extensive pastures and a splendid view of the Sesto Dolomites. You then go down wooded slopes to Malga Coltrondo, continue in the direction of the Monte Croce Pass and return from there to the starting point, following a marked trail. All three mountain pastures are open in summer. Type: easy to medium hike to the Sesto mountain pastures. C L I M B S for serious climbers Cima Grande di Lavaredo, 2999 m This is the middle and highest of the Three Peaks of Lavaredo. The vertical, partly overhanging north wall is eye-catching. The northeast wall is a favourite, pleasant classic climb, whereas the north face routes are only for extreme climbers. Punta dei Tre Scarperi, 3.152 m A pointed rocky pyramid between Valle Campo di Dentro and Val Fiscalina. It is the highest peak in the Sesto Dolomites. You start off from the Tre Scarperi Hut and go up the Steinalpenscharte Fork with a moderately difficult climb on the steep rock face of the east side. Other medium difficulty Alpine climbs are possible on the walls. Monte Piano, 2.324 m Isolated mountain standing west of the Three Peaks of Lavaredo. It forms a flat, grassy plateau which was fiercely contested during the First World War because of its strategically important position. The war walkways and positions have been recreated and incorporated into an outdoor museum. From the Angelo-Bosi Hut you go up 30 m to the southern peak. From there you can follow splendid high-mountain routes towards the lower northern peak. You can also climb up from the valley over the old “war trails” starting off from Carbonin. Croda Rossa, 2.965 m Ramified rock formation in an advanced position between Val Fiscalina and the Monte Croce Pass - “Peak Ten” on the Sesto Sundial. Most of the climbs do not end at the main summit, but on the lower north summit. Equipped climbing routes facilitate access to the peak from which you can admire a splendid view. The easiest climb (up the Postal) begins near the Prati di Croda Rossa Hut and runs from the north to the summit; a longer variation leads to the lower section of the Costoni di Croda Rossa. |
