One of the most beautiful hikes in Alta Badia and the Dolomites.

Untouched nature, vertical walls soaring skywards that turn red at sunset, and a breathtaking view extending over the green valley of Badia on one side and the legendary landscape of the Fanes Alp on the other. The characteristic Dolomite flora, along with marmots and chamois goats, all combine to make this a truly unforgettable walk.

Turn-by-turn directions

From Badia ascend with chair lift and cable car to the La Crusc sanctuary (2045 m). From here, take trail no. 7 and head east then turn south and pass through the groups of mugo pines and scree, reaching the rocky slopes. Steel cables are there to help to get over the precipices. The hike continues rapidly gaining height, climbing over ledges and scree-covered slopes until you reach the Ju dla Crusc ridge (2598 m) (1h 30min.). At this point, leave path no. 7 heading left along the ridge. Follow trail no. 7B right up to the highest point of the tour, the peak Le Ciaval (2907 m) (2h 35min.). From here, you can enjoy an awesome panorama out over the entire world of the Dolomites. The return is on the same path down to the ridge. Proceed on trail no. 7 to the east towards Fanes. After 200 m, continue on trail no. 12B towards the Forcela de Medesc notch (2533 m) (1h 30min.). From here, follow westwards trail no. 12 down to the Val de Medesc valley. After the first extremely steep section over scree, the walk continues pleasantly through woods, meadows and pastures, skirting farms and little villas until you come to the village of La Villa (2h 30min.).
