The hike begins in the heart of Ortisei, right at the Parish Church. Follow the signs toward St. Jacob until you reach the scenic “Via del Dialogo,” which branches off to the left. The trail climbs through charming switchbacks up to Col de Flam. At the end, turn right and continue along a gentle, level path straight to the little St. Jacob’s Church.
From St. Jacob’s Church, continue along trail no. 6 toward Balest and then on to Sëurasas. The ascent is fairly steep, but the effort is richly rewarded: along the way, breathtaking panoramic views of Ortisei and the majestic Dolomites open up, making this route an unforgettable experience.
