Stage 6 Dolomiti Trek King - Toward Roda de Vael

<p>This is the king of trekking in Val di Fassa, among the most exciting mountains in the world. The sixth and last stage will lead you from Gardeccia to Passo Costalunga.</p>

<p>From the Gardeccia basin reach Ciampedie (trail marker no. 540), from where you have a panoramic view of the entire Vaiolet Valley. Continue along trail no. 545, also called the "Alta Via dei Fassani," in the direction of the Baita Marino Pederiva and Roda di Vael refuges. Alternatively, from Ciampedie, climb to Pra Martin and then take the "Vial da le feide," at the foot of the Cigolade (sheep trail: panoramic and with some slightly exposed sections). Upon reaching the Ciampaz saddle, near the Baita Marino Pederiva, take trail no. 548 and descend to Passo Costalunga/Carezza.</p> <p>Alternatively, continue along trail no. 549 to the monument dedicated to Theodor Christomannos, creator of the "Strada delle Dolomiti: Bolzano, Cortina, Dobbiaco," and then on trail no. 539 to reach the Paolina Refuge. Return to Passo Costalunga by chairlift or on foot taking trail no. 552. From the pass, return to Vigo by SAD line bus.</p>
