Stage 4

Corvara – Val di Fassa

Option 1: Moderate

With the Boè cable car and the chairlift, you reach the mountain station of Vallon at 2526m. You’ll hike with continuous ups and downs through the Rifugio Franz Kostner Vallon (2542m) to the war cemetery Totenburg below the Pordoi Pass.

In the First World War, Austrian-Hungarian, German, and Italian troops faced each other closely in the Dolomites between 1915 and 1917. The soldiers didn’t only die in combat but often due to cold and snow. The war cemetery at the Pordoi Pass was a direct result of the War Graves Agreement concluded between the German Reich and the Kingdom of Italy in 1937.

The construction of the memorial began in 1937 but was not completed when the Second World War broke out in 1939, leading to a halt in the works. They resumed in 1956, and on September 19, 1959, the memorial was finally inaugurated. Upon returning to the valley, a shuttle bus will take us to Pozza di Fassa.

Option 2: Easy

With the Col Alt chairlift in Corvara, you’ll ascend to nearly 2,000m. From here, you’ll hike up to Piz Arlara (2,011m). Continuing on, you’ll trek across the Pralongià plateau, also known as the Amphitheater of the Dolomites, until you reach the mountain station of the Pralongia chairlift (2,024m).

Enjoy the stunning plateau and panoramic views of the majestic peaks of the Dolomites, including the Fanes Group, the Puez Group, and even the Marmolata Glacier.

Upon returning to the valley, a shuttle bus will take you to Pozza di Fassa.

Option 3: Challenging

Using the Boè cable car and chairlift, you’ll reach the mountain station of Vallon at 2,526m. From there, you’ll hike to the Rifugio Franz Kostner Vallon (2,542m) and follow the Lichtenfelser Steig trail to the first via ferrata section (Difficulty A). You’ll then continue with occasional easy climbing to reach the first peak of the tour, the Piz Lech Dlacè (3,009m), and onwards to the Piz Boe (3,152m). Upon arriving at the Piz Boe, you’ll be welcomed by the Rifugio Fassa.

Next, you’ll continue towards the Pordoi Spitze (2,938m) and the mountain station of the cable car of the same name, which will take you to the Pordoi Pass.

Upon returning to the valley, a shuttle bus will bring you to Pozza di Fassa.
