WHY THIS HIKE

Cima Carega: nest in the Dolomites

At 2230 meters, perched like an eagle's nest. This is Rifugio Fraccaroli.

The experience

We set off with the Guidders from Passo di Campogrosso, right in the heart of the Piccole Dolomiti. It's a classic out-and-back route: we start through woods and pastures, then the climb steepens as the dolomitic spires open up around us. We cross the Bocchetta dei Fondi and Bocchetta Mosca, a crossroads of trails tucked among the rocks, before the final push to the refuge. From there, with an optional short detour, you can reach nearby Cima Carega for a 360° panorama stretching from Pasubio to Adamello.

The trail partly follows an old mule track: we walk where locals once worked, long before this became one of Veneto's favorite hikes.

5 reasons to join - Rifugio Fraccaroli, an eagle's nest at 2230 meters - nearby Cima Carega, 360° views over Pasubio and Adamello - the Bocchetta Mosca crossroads, heart of the Piccole Dolomiti - an old mule track beneath your boots - one of Veneto's most classic hikes

Who it's for Hikers with good stamina and some mountain experience: the elevation gain is real, but no technical gear or advanced skills needed.

Come discover it with the Guidders: we start together, we arrive together.
