WHY THIS HIKE

Mondeval: autumn stillness

You climb, and climb, and climb. Then you turn around and understand why.

Group chat a couple of days before
Come alone, leave with new friends

The experience

We set off with the Guidders from Selva di Cadore, in the heart of the Belluno area, and immediately take the trail that winds its way between woods and pastures. The climb is steep right from the first kilometres, with a few really tough stretches that will warm up your legs, but every step takes you higher, towards Forcella Giau, the highest point of our day, and the nearby Lago delle Baste. The route is a loop: we go up one way and come down the other, so you get to see the mountain from two different angles. Up at altitude, the landscape opens up: high-mountain meadows, Dolomite rock faces and a silence you can only find here.

5 reasons to join - a complete loop, showing two different faces of the same mountain - Forcella Giau, with an open view over the Ampezzo mountains - The magnificent little Lago delle Baste, mirroring Mount Pelmo - the Mesolithic site of Mondeval Man - the relaxed descent that wraps up the day in style

Who it's for Good fitness is required, with legs ready to climb steadily: there are no technical sections, but the elevation gain is definitely felt.

Come discover it with the Guidders: this climb is best tackled as a group, and at the top it's time to celebrate together.

Hi Guidders! 🧡 I'm Alain, a mid-mountain leader registered with the Collegio Guide Alpine del Veneto. I was born and raised on the doorstep of the Dolomites, and I started walking as a child with my father ahead of me on the trail. What began as a habit became the thing that makes me feel most alive: at some point I left a safe job that never really felt like mine, and chose the mountains instead. What I love most is watching someone let themselves be amazed. Every outing is a chance to reconnect with nature and, almost without noticing, with yourself: you discover, you breathe, you go home a little different from how you set off. If you hear the call of the peaks too, I'm here. ⛰ See you in the mountains, Guidders!
