Ponte Alto

Highlight • Gorge

The Ponte Alto crosses the Rio Travenanzes. From the bridge there are breathtaking views of the canyon. The splendid Fanes waterfalls are very close, but it is necessary to take a via ferrata to get there.

Fanes Waterfalls

Highlight • Waterfall

What a fantastically beautiful place! One waterfall is even bigger than the other! The Sbarco de Fanes is really gigantic. It is beautiful to see from the front, but the route behind the waterfall is really an experience!

Malga Ra Stua

Highlight • Mountain Hut

Located at an altitude of 1,695 metres, the Malga Ra Stua refuge serves as a farmhouse and mountain hut for grazing cattle and horses. The property can be reached by car via the state road that connects Cortina to Dobbiaco. During the months of July and August, the road is closed to vehicular traffic, but a paid shuttle service is available that leaves from Fiames.

Known as a popular destination for both summer and winter excursions, the mountain hut offers delicious dishes, including Ra Stua tagliatelle with sausages and mushrooms, and chops with polenta and melted cheese. The menu also includes delicious desserts, including the classic sacher.

The surroundings are lovely; the lush green meadows create a beautiful contrast with the mountainous backdrop. Running on these beaten paths is amazing.

Trail to Malga Ra Stua

Highlight (Segment) • Trail

The trail to Malga Ra Stua, located in the beautiful Val di Fanes, is one of the most popular hikes in the Dolomites for the natural beauty it offers. Starting from Fiames, near Cortina d'Ampezzo, the trail climbs gently through coniferous forests and alpine meadows. Along the trail, you can admire breathtaking views of the surrounding peaks, including Croda Rossa and Tofana di Rozes.

The malga itself is a welcoming alpine refuge where you can enjoy typical mountain dishes and relax after the walk. It is a hike suitable for everyone, including beginners, and also ideal for families thanks to the moderate difference in altitude and the possibility of spotting local fauna.
