PORDOI PASS - SASS PORDOI - FORCELLA PORDOI - PIZ BOÈ - BOÈ REFUGE - Description

High-level hikes
From Pordoi Pass at 2,239 m take the cable-car to Sass Pordoi (2,948 m) and then go downhill on path no. 627A to the Forcella Pordoi (2,829 m; 20 mins). Now keep going towards the central plateau (path no. 627). Leave path no. 627 and take no. 638 when you come to it. This path takes you up to the top of the Piz Boè mountain without too much difficulty also thanks to metallic ropes placed all long the uphill. You will reach the Capanna Piz Fassa refuge (3,152 m) where you can get refreshments (1 hour 15; 1 hour 35). Now go down the north-west side of the mountain. There is a short rocky section which is equipped with a metal safety cord and wodden stairs and then you reach the Boè refuge (2,871 m) (30 mins; 2 hrs 05). To get back to the Forcella Pordoi you now cut across the base of the Piz Boè on path no. 627 (45 mins; 2 hrs 50). Now climb back up to the cable-car station at Sass Pordoi (20 mins; 3 hrs 10) (path no. 627A).
