You walk along the paved road, following the signs for trail 605. The road soon becomes a dirt road. Walking up a slight incline, you continue to follow the signs for trail 605, and reach “Villa Maria” locality (1680m). Here you will find the hotel of the same name, which lies on the remains of an Austrian hospital dating back to World War I. Heading into the gorge situated beneath the “Col de Mer”, you continue along the mule track marked by trail number 605, on a steeper slope. After having reached the “Via Crucis”, you reach “Cappella - Crist de Fedaa” locality at an elevation of 1780 m.

The path continues on less steep terrain, and leads to Col di Ciampié where, at about 1850 m asl, you will notice a turn-off.

Here you leave trail 605 and follow trail 618, which briefly descends along a meadow until it crosses the Avisio stream (La Vèisc), which comes out of the Fedaia Lock. After the crossing, the trail climbs a clearing and gains elevation in the vegetation on the river’s left hand side in the valley (right hand side of the river, as you climb). You climb, approaching the evident Fedaia dam wall, until you reach the buildings. On the right hand side, along a paved road, in the direction marked “Cabinovia Pian dei Fiacconi”, you quickly reach l Rifugio Dolomia.

You return along the same route.

VARIATION

The mountain hut, located almost on the Fedaia dam wall, is easily reached by car.
