Col dei Baldi

Highlight • Summit

At 2,000 meters above sea level, immersed in tranquility and surrounded by a 360° Dolomite panorama, lies Col dei Baldi, in the center of a Dolomite frame made up of Monte Civetta, known as "The Cathedral of the Dolomites". Here, there is a retreat for those wishing to take a longer break or for those wishing to stay overnight. The views from up here are amazing.

A great run in this area is the loop-shaped course between Col dei Baldi and Piani di Pezzé. It is also possible to reach the hill with a cable car that leaves from Piani di Pezzé.

Malga Fontanafreda

Highlight • Mountain Hut

Located in the municipality of Selva di Cadore, Malga Fontanafreda is situated at 1,768 meters above sea level, in an area historically used for cattle grazing. Its easy accessibility and scenic beauty make this area particularly popular with both tourists and residents for walks or Sunday outings.

Owned by the Magnifica Regola Selva di Cadore e Pescul and managed by the De Nardin family, during the summer (mid-June to mid-September), it offers catering and retail outlets for its own products, such as cow's and goat's milk cheeses of various ages, ricotta, yogurt, and, above all, its famous Formai Schiz. It boasts approximately 60 hectares of south-facing pastureland, spread between 1,450 and 2,000 meters above sea level.

Connection between Fontanafredda and Col dei Baldi

Highlight • Trail

A beautiful crossing for hikers, but especially for experienced bikers. It can also be done in reverse, but with much more difficulty; this direction is preferable.

Go up a ski slope, with the sun blazing and the bike on your back, I don't recommend it to anyone, but the 360⁰ panorama of the Dolomites that you can enjoy from the Fertazza peak at 2100m repays you for the effort!
