Although we undertake this hike to Passo San Pellegrino below the Marmolada massif at the end of October, it is actually recommended also in summer or in winter as a snowshoeing tour

The starting point of our hike is the Passo San Pellegrino near Moena. Immediately after the pass, the path to the Albergo Miralago (car park) branches off. At this refreshment point we follow the forest road no. 607 towards Fuciade leading through stunning larch woods and past the Rifugi Garghele and Sbrinz before arriving at the alpine meadows of Fuciade.
Here we are nearby the baite di Fuciade right below the imposing amphitheatre of Cima Uomo and Sas Valfreida (Marmolada group). After a short stop we take path no. 607 towards "Forca Rossa". Soon we leave this path and cross scythed meadows leading to the baite "Casoni di Valdredda". If you follow the marked path instead, you would need to cover another 150 metres of elevation gain.
At the wooden chapel dedicated to the beatified Pier Giorgio Frassati, we take the forest road downhill. Then we walk along the Valfredda and reach the larch forests with their stunning autumn colours, ranging from yellow-gold to reddish brown. Near Malga Boer the route meets a small asphalt road and shortly after we follow the signpost taking us back to the forest path to the Albergo Miralago (Passo San Pellegrino).
