Ski mountaineering at Cima Undici - Val dei Monzoni

Classic route with magnificent views of the Dolomites of Fassa

The excursion to Cima Undici is a splendid route that leads into the upper Val dei Monzoni, a secluded corner of Val di Fassa. The first part up to Malga Monzoni takes place on a snowy road for sledding, while in the upper part the forest gives way to wide slopes, never too steep. The malga is a good intermediate refreshment point, and the Vallaccia refuge higher up is often open on winter weekends.

In the descent section between the Vallaccia refuge and the Malga Monzoni, it is possible to freely descend through the forest instead of staying on the road.

Safety information

The final section is often subject to wind deposits, so carefully assess the avalanche danger.

As you can imagine, the passability of routes in a mountain environment is strictly linked to the current conditions and therefore depends on natural phenomena, environmental changes, and weather conditions. For this reason, the information contained in this sheet may have changed. Before leaving, check the status of the route by contacting the managers of the refuges on your route, alpine guides, visitor centers of natural parks, and tourist offices.

Equipment

For mountain excursions in winter, appropriate clothing is recommended even in case of sudden temperature drops. Gloves, hat, sunglasses, and sunscreen should also be part of the usual equipment. It is also important to have suitable footwear that keeps the feet warm and does not get wet in contact with the snow.

For trips on snowy terrain, it is also advised to always have an avalanche self-rescue kit consisting of ARTVA-shovel-probe (can also be rented).
