The experience
Day 1. We set off with the Guidders from Vigo di Fassa and climb towards Rifugio Vajolet, moving straight into the Catinaccio group: rock, towers and high-altitude silence. We carry on to Rifugio Passo Principe, where we sleep and watch the sunset set the walls alight. Day 2. We traverse to Lago di Antermoia, one of the most iconic alpine lakes in the Dolomites, and return to Vigo di Fassa.
5 reasons to come - the night at Rifugio Passo Principe, among the towers - Lago di Antermoia on the second day - the Vajolet Towers, a symbol of the Dolomites - sunset on the walls of the Catinaccio - two days inside a legendary group
Who it suits Two days at altitude on dolomitic paths, with scree and steep sections: good fitness and a sure step are needed.
You understand the Catinaccio by sleeping inside it: set off with the Guidders.

Vigo di Fassa to Vajolet Refuge OR Vigo di Fassa - Trek to Vajolet Refuge OR Hike from Vigo di Fassa to Vajolet Refuge
Starting from Vigo, we'll hike along well-marked trails to the Vajolet Refuge, nestled in the Vajolet basin at an altitude of 2243m. This is located in the Catinaccio (Rosengarten) group of the Dolomites, beneath the iconic Vajolet Towers, one of the most famous spots in the entire range. Our ascent will initially follow the line of the Vigo ski slopes before winding into a fragrant Arolla pine forest leading to the Gardeccia Refuge. From there, with the majestic towers looming above, we'll continue through an almost lunar landscape to the Vajolet Refuge, where we can relax and refuel.
17:30MOUNTAIN HUT
Vajolet Hut - Passo Principe Hut
From Vajolet, we'll continue our trek through one of the most stunning areas of the Dolomites, arriving at Rifugio Passo Principe (2600m) in time to savor a sunset that will stay with you forever. Rifugio Passo Principe is nestled in the heart of the Catinaccio Group, in the Vajolet Valley. We'll spend the night in this enchanting location, surrounded by breathtaking beauty.
