Directions

• Start

  Baselga di Piné - Loc. Serraia
  
  Go up from the hamlet of Fovi on a forest road following the indication for Casara. From the bivouac continue on 404 SAT path for 4 hairpin bends, on the fifth take  the left path called "Senter dei Russi" and continue with ups and downs for about 1Km. Turn right to the saddle of Costalta and go up for "Prà dei Morbi" then continue in south-east direction between the lawn and larches where you can see the top with the metal cross. The difference in height is about 1000m, of course in the night and with the bike it's more challenging, great and panoramic also by foot.

Tips for the tour

Very suggestive route to be covered also on foot, as an alternative to the classic ascent from path 404. The "La Casara" bivouac (at 3/4 of the way) has tables, benches, a source of water and fire point, ideal for a well-deserved break. With favorable temperatures it is possible to climb up to 1955m of the Dosso di Costalta even at night.
