Alta Via nr. 2 - Pale di San Martino (stage 3) - Description

Directions

• Start

  Rifugio Rosetta
  
  From the Rifugio Rosetta follow path n. 702 that sinks into the wide Roda Valley, circled by the Roda Peaks to the left, Pale di San Martino and Immink to the right and Val di Roda Peak with its numerous pinnacles. The path was traced in 1912 by a local entrepreneur financed by the baron Von Lesser of Lipsia, that spent a total of 5850 crowns; it descends uniformly between numerous turns all the way to a characteristic area, which is almost plane, called Col delle Fede. From here, in short time, reach the crossroad with path 715 that leads uphill to an exposed ledge equipped with wired cables that allows to proceed easily. This equipped stretch with a few stair steps continues all the way to the base of the gap of the Ball Pass, protected on the left by the Pradidali Peak and on the right by the characteristic rocky formation of the Forchetta Adele. Reach the gap and the path descends towards the green and wide Pradidali Valley, all the way to the rocky balcony where the Rifugio Pradidali is, circled by the most beautiful peaks of the Pale di San Martino.
