From the car park at the entrance to the Val Venegia we walk along a snow-covered path towards Malga Venegia. The first section of this hike to the malga is characterised by the stunning dolostone wall of Monte Mulaz.
After the malga we continue walking along the well-maintained forest road. The surrounding almost fairy tale-like landscape is characterised by fluffy snow, icy streams and the marvellous Dolomite peaks! We proceed towards Passo Costanza/Baita Segantini, where the rock walls of the Cimon de la Pala, the Cima Vezzana and the Bureloni peaks overlook the valley. Having left behind the last uphill section, we finally arrive at Baita Segantini (2,180 m a.s.l.) where we admire the stunning panoramic view of Passo Rolle and the Pale di San Martino Group. After a break we retrace the same path.
This itinerary is long and mostly flat, except for the final section to Baita Segantini.
