Safety information

From Rifugio Boé, we strongly suggest climbing to Rifugio Capanna Piz di Fassa, the typical Alpine mountain hut located on the top of Piz Boé, at an elevation of more than 3150 m.

Please note that the practicability of the itineraries in a mountain environment is strictly linked to the contingent conditions and is therefore influenced by natural phenomena, environmental changes and weather conditions. For this reason, the information contained in this page may have changed. Before leaving for a tour, make sure the path you will approach is still accessible by contacting the owner of the mountain hut, the alpine guides or the visitor centres of the nature parks, the info offices of the local tourist board.

Equipment

Hiking boots/shoes, windbreaker, a change of clothes, telescopic hiking sticks are useful.

Turn-by-turn directions

From Rifugio Maria to Sass Pordoi to Rifugio Boè.

At Passo Pordoi, you take the ski lift and climb up to Sass Pordoi. From Rifugio Maria to Sass Pordoi, you go down to Forcella Pordoi (Rifugio Forcella Pordoi), dropping by about 100 m in elevation along trail 627A.

From the saddle, you continue along trail 627 in the Boè direction, walking on the impressive Dolomitic plateau that the mountain is famous for.

You continue more or less at the same elevation until you reach Rifugio Boè.

To return, you follow the same route backwards.

VARIATIONS

NB: For those who are in good shape, it is possible to avoid using the Sass Pordoi ski lift, and to reach Forcella Pordoi on foot, starting directly from Passo Pordoi. The trail you must follow is still number 627.
