Embark on the challenging "Trekking tra Vallunga e Val Chedul – giro ad anello," a difficult 10.1-mile (16.3 km) loop in the Puez-Odle Nature Park. This hike involves a significant 3430 feet (1045 metres) of elevation gain, typically taking around 7 hours and 9 minutes to complete. You will begin with a gentle walk through the wide Vallunga valley before ascending steeply through thick forests. As you climb, the terrain shifts to rocky landscapes and boulder fields, eventually leading to the unique "lunar" appearance of the Crespëina High Plateau. The crystalline Lake Crespeina offers a perfect spot for a break, reflecting the surrounding peaks. This route promises diverse scenery, from lush forests to barren alpine expanses, with stunning panoramic views of the Dolomites. You will need sturdy hiking shoes and sure-footedness for the varied terrain. The trail is predominantly alpine, with unpaved and gravel sections. The starting point for this loop is typically the Vallunga car park in Selva di Val Gardena. You can also visit the charming St. Silvester chapel near the trailhead before you begin your adventure. This trek is suitable for all seasons, but autumn is particularly recommended for its vibrant larch colors. This loop offers a unique opportunity to explore two less-traveled valleys, Vallunga and Val de Chedul, providing a sense of solitude, especially in Val de Chedul. You will pass through the Forcella Crespëina, a mountain pass at 2527 metres, and can find refreshment at the Rifugio Puez mountain hut. The trek provides breathtaking views of prominent peaks like the Cir Group, the Chedul mountains, the Puez Group, the Stevia rockface, the Alpe di Siusi, and the Sciliar/Schlern massif.
