We start in the centre of Campitello di Fassa and take the road to the parish church (Streda de Col) and the mountain hamlet of Pian. From here we continue along the sunny slope at the foot of the Sassolungo group to the forest. This section of the path offers us a stunning panoramic view of the upper Val di Fassa with Canazei and the Marmolada, as well as of the lower part towards Moena with the Catinaccio. We continue walking along a path towards the valley flow which then joins the steeper road of the valley leading towards west past the Baita Fraines hut.
We hike across the snowy forest and the itinerary leads us uphill to a high plateau where the Rifugio Micheluzzi mountain hut stands. After our lunch break we continue hiking towards the valley floor where a wonderful winter landscape with stunning views of the Molignon and the Denti di Terraross awaits us. Eventually, we arrive at the Baita Lino Brach mountain hut, the end point of the marked path. For our return to Campitello we follow the same path which can also be done by sledge.
