WHY THIS HIKE

Val d'Oten and the Capanna degli Alpini

A trek in Val d'Oten, in the heart of the Belluno Dolomites (province of Belluno, Veneto), is one of those experiences that Guidders truly love: authentic nature, profound silences, and panoramas that change step by step.

The experience

This itinerary starts from Praciadelan, the perfect access point to the valley, and follows a path immersed in the woods that leads to the charming Rifugio Capanna degli Alpini, nestled among the mountains.

It is an accessible but never mundane excursion, ideal for those who want to experience the mountains without stress but with great satisfaction.

Val d'Oten is one of the wildest and least crowded valleys in the Dolomites. Here you won't find lifts or mass tourism, but an authentic environment made of woods, streams, and rock walls.

The trek to the Capanna degli Alpini is a gradual journey into this scenario: you start among the trees and arrive in a more open and alpine context, with a growing feeling of isolation and freedom.

If you are looking for an easy but authentic trek in the Dolomites, this is a choice that rarely disappoints. Book your place with the Guidders and come and discover the Val d'Oten step by step.

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!
