Adventure, adrenalin and breath-taking views: all this lies store for you in the exciting "4 Peaks Alta Badia" Challenge. The aim of this challenge is to conquer the four summits Sas dla Crusc - Santa Croce 2,907m, Piza dales Diesc - Cima Dieci 3,026m, Lavarela 3,055m and Conturines 3,064m, on the edge of the Fanes-Sennes-Prags Nature Park in the Dolomites UNESCO World Heritage site.

The ascent of these four mountains is to be attempted only by experienced climbers, as these peaks cannot be reached just on easy well-sign-posted pahts, but also via routes with some very exposed sections.

To take part in the "4 Peaks Alta Badia" Challenge you will need to register online at www.4peaks.it.

As proof of your achievement you will have a pass which must be stamped every time you reach one of the four summits. All those who manage to complete the challenge in two or more days will have the title “Alta Badia Finisher” conferred upon them.

If you manage to complete the ascent of all four summits in one day you will be crowned with the coveted and highly deserved title of “Alta Badia Mountaineer”. Both as a Finisher and as a Mountaineer, you will then take a place of honour in the "Wall of Fame", which can be viewed online.

Turn-by-turn directions

From the village of Badia (1.324 m) take the La Crusc 1 chair lift and the La Crusc 2 cable car up to the place of pilgrimage La Crusc at the foot of the imposing Sas dla Crusc massif. From the little church at La Crusc (2.045 m) take path no. 7 in the direction of Ju dla Crusc pass (2.612 m) where path no. 7B leads to the summit of Sas dla Crusc (2.907 m). A short via ferrata takes you to the Piza dales Diesc/Cima Dieci (3.026 m). The descent to the Ju dla Crusc fork is again on path no. 7B.

From the Ju dla Crusc fork, there are two routes to reach the Lavarela and Conturines peaks: a shorter but more demanding and exposed route and a longer, but easier and less exposed route.

Shorter, more exposed route

From the junction of Ju dla Crusc, take path no. 7 and continue on trail no. 12 to the Medesc fork (2533m) and passing the fork, you will reach the Lavarela (3.055 m) summit. The path between the Medesc fork and the Lavarela peak is very exposed and only recommended for experienced climbers. The Conturines peak, the last peak of the tour and with its 3.064 m the highest of the four, can be accessed via path no. 12B and a via ferrata. The return to the valley is relatively easy. Take path no. 12B, cross the Fanes meadows and continue on path no. 11 to Col de Locia and Capanna Alpina (1.720 m). In the neighbourhood Capanna Alpina you have the possibility to take a taxi and a little further on, in Sciaré, there is a bus stop.

Less exposed, but longer route

From the junction of Ju dla Crusc you continue on paths no. 7 and no. 12 in the direction of the Fanes pasture and passing by the mountain huts Lavarella and Fanes (2.050 m) continue on path no. 11. Walk beside the Lech de Limo lake and crossing the pasture you will reach the small fork Ju dal'Ega (2.157 m). From here, take trail no. 12B up to the two peaks Lavarela (3.034 m) and Conturines (3.064 m). Attention: The last section to the Conturines summit is a via ferrata. The return is on the same way down to the Fanes pasture where path no. 11 leads to the Col de Locia (2.069 m) and finally to the neighbourhood of Capanna Alpina (1.720 m). In Capanna Alpina you will find a taxi service and just a few minutes of walk from here, at Sciaré, there is a bus stop.
