Embark on a difficult high-alpine hiking adventure with the Col dala Pieres and Stevia Hut Loop Trail. This demanding route covers 7.6 miles (12.3 km) and involves a significant elevation gain of 2971 feet (906 metres), taking approximately 5 hours and 50 minutes to complete. As you navigate the challenging terrain, you will experience dramatic passes and sweeping views, with the impressive Geisler Group, also known as the Odle peaks, providing a stunning backdrop, especially when emerging from the Forces de Siëles gully.
This trail is rated as difficult and requires a very good level of fitness, a steady head for heights, and sure-footedness. You should have prior alpine experience and wear sturdy hiking shoes, as some sections are exposed and feature steep tracks. Be prepared for a demanding journey with technical descents, particularly on the stretch from Col dala Pieres down to Forcella de Forces de Siëles. Plan your visit carefully, considering the challenging nature of the route.
The Col dala Pieres and Stevia Hut Loop Trail offers a rewarding journey through the Puez-Odle Nature Park, a UNESCO World Heritage site. Along the way, you will pass through Edelweiss meadows, encounter crumbling rock towers, and traverse scree-filled gullies, showcasing the unique geology and rugged beauty of the Dolomites. This route provides a deep immersion into the high-alpine environment, making it a notable experience for those seeking a true mountain challenge in this iconic region.
