The hike follows a well-marked route through a varied alpine landscape in the Dolomites. After setting off, the trail leads through Val d’Anna, where the path runs through woodland alongside a small stream. It then continues across open areas and rural sections, offering good views of the surrounding mountains. Along the way, hikers pass historic buildings and several alpine huts that provide opportunities for a break. The middle part of the hike is mostly on easy terrain in a quiet setting. In the final section, the trail climbs gradually across alpine pastures. As altitude is gained, the views open up over the Dolomite peaks. The destination is Seceda, a well-known viewpoint with wide panoramic views of the surrounding mountains.

This scenic hike begins at the valley station of the Seceda cable car – the perfect starting point for an unforgettable adventure in the heart of the Dolomites. Directly across from the station, follow trail no. 9 as it leads you into the charming Val d’Anna, a peaceful alpine valley with gently flowing streams and magnificent mountain views.
From there, continue on trail no. 2 through picturesque landscapes until you reach the Costamula Inn, a beautifully preserved example of traditional alpine architecture dating back to the 16th century. This historic gem offers a wonderful opportunity to take a short break in a setting full of charm and heritage.
The hike then continues along trail no. 2 towards Oberwinkel, and from there on to Marëufer. This stretch of the trail leads you through serene, rural surroundings – a peaceful escape where time seems to slow down.
The final ascent follows trail no. 6, winding its way past the rustic Curona Hut and the popular Sofie Hut, both ideal spots to enjoy local specialties while soaking in stunning views. The path continues through untouched alpine meadows, blooming in vibrant colors during the summer months, and leads you all the way up to the majestic Seceda – where panoramic views will take your breath away and reward every step of the journey.
