What you'll do

Join us on this stunning trek through the Dolomites to discover the Catinaccio massif, the Vajolet Towers, and Antermoia with its breathtaking alpine lake. We will set off from mid-Val di Fassa to reach the splendid Vajolet valley and Pian Gardeccia, where the sunset transforms the landscape into a spectacle as the warm hues of the enrosadira — the legendary Dolomite alpenglow — take hold. The following day, we will head higher to climb toward Passo Principe. Here, we’ll stand in the presence of the sheer walls of Catinaccio d'Antermoia, enjoying an exceptional view over the valley. Then, it will be time for the descent toward Antermoia, crossing rocky terrain and perennial snowfields until we reach the shores of the magnificent lake, nestled at the foot of vertical Dolomite faces. Here, too, we will savor the magic of the enrosadira at dusk. Our journey concludes with a long but serene, bucolic descent through the lush green meadows of Val Duron, with the iconic peaks of the Dolomites as our constant companion. This is a moderate-level trek; certain sections require sure-footedness, especially if snow is still present. However, the effort and a touch of stamina will be richly rewarded by the incomparable beauty of the Dolomites.


Itinerary

Arrive at Trento train station by 4 PM, where you'll meet your guide. Time to get settled, check your gear together, and soak in the atmosphere of one of the most beautiful cities in the Alps. We'll have dinner together in town — a great chance to get to know the group before the adventure begins. Night in the hotel.
An early morning transfer (8 AM) from Trento brings us to Vigo di Fassa in an hour and a half; the mountains are already calling. We'll hike up to Ciampedie following the path and some stretch of piste. As we get to the top of Ciampedie, the view over the Rosengarten is dramatic! A photography break deserves taking a while! We descend a little bit to hike in a wonderful wood, and we'll end the day at Gardeccia for some serious hut-chilling and drinks at sunset. Distance: 6 km (3.7 mi) | Elevation gain: +550 m (1,840 ft), Elevation loss: +50 m (-164 ft) | Time: 3 hrs
Get ready for a "lunar" landscape. We’ll trek through the Vajolet Valley, passing by the legendary Vajolet Towers. Once we hit Principe Pass, the view is mind-blowing. The final stretch takes us through the rugged Antermoia rocks to reach Lake Antermoia—a turquoise gem hidden in the stone. We’ll spend the night here, totally disconnected from the world, relaxing under a blanket of stars. Distance: 7 km (4.3 mi) | Elevation gain: +900 m (2,953 ft), Elevation loss: +270 m (-885 ft) | Time: 5 hrs
Time to trade the sharp rocks for soft vibes. After a final mountain pass, we'll descend into Val Duron — a peaceful, emerald-green valley that looks like a movie scene. The perfect, chill walk to clear your head and soak in the last scenic views before reaching Campitello. After a well-deserved drink to toast the traverse, we'll hop on the transfer back to Trento (1.30h) that will drop us in front of the train station by 5 PM. It’s time to say goodbye to our folks and catch the train home or head off to your next adventure! Distance: 10 km (6.2 mi) | Elevation gain: +100 m (328 ft), Elevation loss: -1080 m (-3583 ft) | Time: 4 hrs
