The hike starts at the parish church of Ortisei and follows the “Via del Dialogo” towards San Giacomo, along a path immersed in the forest. The historic San Giacomo church already offers a first impressive viewpoint. The route then continues towards Balest, from where a splendid view opens up over Ortisei. Continuing towards Seurasas, the panorama becomes even wider, with spectacular views of the Dolomites. After a break at Baita Curona, the itinerary ends at the Seceda - Ridge Line, where the landscape offers breathtaking views of the surrounding mountains. A moderately difficult tour, ideal for nature lovers and those who enjoy panoramic hikes.
The tour starts in the heart of Ortisei, right in front of the parish church. From here, the route ascends following signs for the “Dialogue Walk” and “Col de Flam,” winding through the forest along trail no. 6 towards the San Giacomo church. This first part of the hike is immersed in nature and immediately offers stunning views. Once at the San Giacomo church, visitors can already enjoy a beautiful panoramic view of the valley, enhanced by the historic charm of the church itself, one of the oldest in the area.
The route continues along trail no. 6 towards Balest, another panoramic spot perfect for taking beautiful photos with Ortisei in the background. The path continues with a moderate incline on a moderately difficult trail, suitable for hikers accustomed to mountain walks. From Balest, the trail leads onwards to Seurasas, still following trail no. 6. This section of the hike passes through more open areas, offering spectacular views of the Dolomites. It’s an ideal place to take a short break and admire the landscape.
The path then continues along trails no. 20 and 6A to reach Baita Curona, a perfect stop for a rest. This part of the itinerary is also moderately difficult, well marked, and set in a charming alpine environment. The final part of the hike leads towards the Seceda - Ridge Line, once again following trail no. 6. Here, the view opens up to some of the most iconic peaks of the Dolomites, providing a breathtaking finale to this beautiful excursion.
Although the route does not present particular technical difficulties, it is a moderately difficult hike with uphill sections and mountain trails. It is recommended to wear suitable hiking shoes, bring enough water, and always check the weather conditions before setting off. In case of rain or slippery terrain, special care should be taken along the forested sections.
