When the output Sassongher we have chosen the path of Colfosco instead of Corvara.
We have saved a little time and before we got out of crowded places full of tourists.
Start leads tours on the asphalt, then gravel road around Edelweiss chalet number 4
on the way More and more and more continue to climb we reach the signpost,
where we turn right and continue to number 7.
Way to just below Sassongher is not technically difficult and requires lengthy walking.
In this way we have a magnificent view over the valley VAL MEZDI and the village Colfosco.
After about two hours from the start we get to a place called the Forcella di Sassongher,
and pass a small crossroads, from where a blind way to the top Sassongher and the other continues.
Here it is better to postpone the trekking poles and insure better hands.
After about ten minutes, steep path we reach the place secured with ropes.
For children and people who completely do not believe there is better to use the belay seat.
There are two places to climb or descend, but the directions have not been honored,
and so it may happen that the path is blocked by successive people down.
One of the more difficult places output is forfeiture of the pavement,
which is to be crossed by means of ropes.
Even in these areas is recommended to insure the weaker individuals.
After extensive combat platforms to get to the top Sassongher.
From the top we can see almost all the mountains of the Dolomites.
We can also see La Villa, Badia, Corvara or even Marmolada glacier.
On the way down to be careful and meet place with ropes slowly and cautiously.
Journey to Sasongher is a frequent destination for tourists
and it is in this section to it often suffers because there are queues.
At the junction of the pass where we come again,
to choose the right moment, and yet go the way of number 7.
After approximately 200 meters continue straight on road number 5 along the contour of the valley.
Gradually lose height, so this part of the trek is pleasant
and it is enough time to monitor the area.
It changes only once, when we come to the so-called "Z-trail" and get to the green valley.
Around the height of 2000 meters above sea level, just before we get to the cottage Gardenacia,
we come together with a very nice way of No.11.
Cottage Gardenacia is due to its location frequent place for a break after a demanding tour.
It is good to find out here the last departure of the chairlift, the low-lying cottages Sponata towards the Badia.
This is usually in 5 PM.
It is good to plan this trek so that you avoid less pleasant walking tour on the slope, which we failed.
