Trail Reviews
A strenuous alpine tour with many meters of altitude and sensational views. Very good physical condition and absolute surefootedness required. In spring and late autumn it is essential to wear warm and weatherproof clothing. Don't forget the hat and scarf.
Probably a classic in the Dolomites - the Sassolungo tour. Even though the cable car looks very interesting and the ride should be an experience, I decided to walk to the gap. This definitely gives you more time to enjoy the views - especially if it snowed a bit the night before and the mountains are lightly powdered 🏔️ A beautiful tour with tremendous views of the rock massifs as you walk between Sassolungo and Sassopiatto. However, despite the low season, it was far too crowded for me. Especially on the climb it was like a crowd at times and you were often slowed down. Nevertheless, the climb was manageable in 45 minutes, instead of the stated 90 minutes from the valley station of the cable car.
A unique experience to go around the Langkofel so close with lots of rocks that we did without the cable car. You had to be free from vertigo and sturdy shoes and poles are recommended. It was very nice to dream again with a view of the mountains.
I would do the same route again next time, it was ideal and although the ascent and descent were very steep, it was very easy to walk thanks to the steps.
Nice tour... Parking fees unfortunately €11...a bit busy. landscape .. great...
Desent from Forcella del Sassolungo is steep and technical. Sticks will help 👏👏
Easy but very beautiful via ferrata and suitable for first experiences. The Sassolungo tour is truly spectacular
