Hiking trip August 2025

From Catinaccio to Odle and Val Gardena

Join us for this 4-day hut-to-hut hiking tour starting in the Fassa Valley and ending in the beautiful Funes Valley. You will love it!

Thanks to the great experience of our guides, participating in this multi-day hiking tour sleeping in rifugios is an experience suitable for everyone.

This 4-day tour is recommended for those who want to hike through some of the main groups of the Western Dolomites. Starting from the Catinaccio groups in Fassa valley, we will pass by the Sassolungo-Sassopiatto mountain, the magnificent panorama of the Seceda and end up in the beautiful valley of Funes at the foot of the Odle group and Ranui church.
This tour is a jewel through the most beautiful western Dolomites, a great choice!

We hike every day from rifugio to rifugio on less popular and more adventurous trails. The difference in altitude is never excessive and our pace adapts to the needs of the group, including leaving time for taking photos!
At the end of each day, a cozy rifugio is waiting for us to regenerate with good food and a warm bed, leaving us ready to discover new peaks and new horizons on the next day!

The technical level required is not for experts but it is necessary to be fit as we are going to hike from 6 to 8 hours a day.

Whether alone or in the company of your friends, joining this multi-day tour is something you won't forget - contact us for more information.
