Mountains

Via the sheep path from the Fassa valley to the Paolina hut

Karersee/Carezza, Welschnofen/Nova Levante, Dolomites Region Eggental
Beautiful high-altitude hike along the narrow sheep path below the Rosengarten with breathtaking panoramic views of the surrounding mountains and valleys.
from center
The sheep path (Schafsteig | Sentiero delle Pecore | Vial de le Feide) on the Rosengarten | Catinaccio is a stunning high-altitude trail between Vigo di Fassa and the Paolina hut. This scenic hike in the Dolomites runs beneath the impressive rock formations of the Rosengarten | Catinaccio massif. It offers spectacular panoramic views of the surrounding valleys, such as the Fassa valley and Eggental valley, as well as the mountain peaks, and passes through alpine meadows and rocky sections. The trail is renowned for its picturesque setting, the combination of nature, rocks, and blooming alpine meadows, and the opportunity to visit cozy mountain huts along the route.
Itinerary
The starting point is at the valley station of the Vigo di Fassa – Ciampedie cableway. You can reach it by bus line 180, which departs from Bozen | Bolzano and stops at Birchabruck | Ponte Nova, Welschnofen | Nova Levante, Karersee | Carezza, and Karerpass | Passo di Costalunga. From the valley station, the cableway takes you up to the mountain station on the plateau Ciampedie (1998 m). The so-called sheep path (Schafsteig | Sentiero delle Pecore | Vial de le Feide) then leads to the Rotwand | Roda di Vael hut (2283 m). The path initially ascends moderately, then becomes narrower and steeper. From the Rotwand | Roda di Vael hut, follow paths [549] and [539] to reach the Paolina hut. The descent continues via the Paolina chairlift, followed by the return journey by bus.
