Safety information

Choose the route according to your experience and your physical preparation: start with short distances first!

The more, the merrier: leaving alone for a hike can be risky, travel with at least one other person, the experience of a Trekking is better when shared with friends and family!

Program your Trekking in advance, check trails and paths on the maps, have a look online to find out more about your itinerary, ask somebody who already walked the same route.

Prepare your backpack: have a look at our check-list to be sure you already packed all the equipment you may need during the Trekking!

Don’t forget to check the weather forecast.

If you really want to try the experience of a Trekking but you don’t feel ready to do it by your own,  just ask one of our Alpine Guides!

Try to estimate an average journey-time of every route, considering the physical condition of each member of the group.

Inform the Hut owner or who is waiting for you at home about your time of arrival and the itinerary.

Keep your eyes open: while you’re walking, check the number of each footpath, but don’t forget to enjoy nature and its magic!

A plan B is always a good idea! Organize an alternative route in case of bad weather or unforeseen event: go back if it’s necessary, play it safe!

Please note that the practicability of the itineraries in a mountain environment is strictly linked to the contingent conditions and is therefore influenced by natural phenomena, environmental changes and weather conditions. For this reason, the information contained in this page may have changed. Before leaving for a tour, make sure the path you will approach is still accessible by contacting the owner of the mountain hut, the alpine guides or the visitor centres of the nature parks, the info offices of the local tourist board.

Rifugio Dal Piaz

Turn-by-turn directions

A long, harsh and fascinating journey; as seen during the previous part, the landscape is completely different compared to previous part of the Alta Via, as a matter of fact we are in the National Park of the Belluno Dolomites. From the Rifugio continue on path n.801 to the Finestra Pass, that leads to Croce D'Aune Pass. Continue on the left, where you will encounter the most exposed and suggestive stretch of all the traverse to reach Sasso di Scarnia. Descend under an overhanging wall and walking almost on a plane arrive to a crossroad, where the ascent to M. Ramezza starts, continuing for a short stretch on a steep slope above the Noana Valley, with an enchanting view; then cross the “Devils piazza” coasting the “busa di Pietena”, arriving to the Pass with the same name. Through a well preserved mule way, cross the Busa delle Vette, also known as “Busa delle Meraveie” (Hole of miracles) above the Malga of the Vette Grandi (great peaks), reaching Rifugio G. Dal Piaz. This path retraces the trail of an old ex military road, which was never used for war purposes, but was located in the backgrounds of WWI, it was the so called “Yellow Line”; a suggestive and particular point is located near the Sasso di Scarnia, where the panorama becomes wide, as much to the right towards the Pale di S. Martino as to the left towards the Canzòi Valley and the Piave Valley. It's a very interesting path not only for the landscapes but also concerning the botanical aspect, thanks to the presence of many species of flowers.
