WHY THIS HIKE

Lake Coldai and Mount Civetta

We set off from Palafavera, in Val di Zoldo, in the heart of the Belluno Dolomites, on a trek climbing up to Coldai Hut and Lake Coldai at the foot of Mount Civetta. With Guidders, you’ll follow a well-marked mountain trail through woodland, dwarf pines, and steeper rocky sections, so sure-footedness is essential, especially on the ascent and where loose stones are underfoot. In return, you’ll be rewarded with sweeping valley views, the crystal-clear waters of the lake, and that special energy that comes when the group shares the effort, the breaks, and the wonder. 5 reasons to join - Lake Coldai and Coldai Hut in one unforgettable trek - Stunning views of Mount Civetta and Val di Zoldo - A varied trail that never feels monotonous - The perfect hike for those who want to challenge themselves - The spontaneous, friendly Guiddy group atmosphere This hike is truly special because in just a few hours it takes you from Palafavera to one of the most iconic alpine lakes in the Belluno area, with close-up views of the cliffs of Civetta and a trail that changes character with every step. Approximate details.

Hi Guidders! 🧡 I'm Alessandro, I'm 35 and I live in the heart of the Dolomites, in Cadore. I'm a mid-mountain leader with the Collegio Guide Alpine del Veneto and a UIMLA member, with a degree in Sport Science, an MTB guide and — yes — a sommelier too: after a hike, a good glass is never out of place. 🍷 I live the mountains in every form they come in: trekking, trail running, mountain bike adventures. Moving in nature is pure energy for me, discovery, feeling, and sharing it is the part of the job I never tire of. Panoramic ridge or woodland singletrack, the goal is the same: a real, active day that puts you back together. See you in the mountains, Guidders!
