Detailed route description
From Pieve di Livinallongo, initially along a trail and then by road (to Molinat, at 1216 metres of altitude), the Via Alpina trail heads across the stream and up the opposite slope towards Davedino. A little beyond is Sottil. Enter the woods along a broad trail which leads to Sottinghiazza (1446m) and, along a track, to Palùa (1461m), one of the tiny walled towns of the Ornela valley. Follow the road (marked 634) past some typical hamlets and up to Monti Alti d’Ornela (2160m), below the Padon chain (links to trail 688). The view is stunning, stretching from Mount Pelmo to the Sella chain. The area is littered with remains of World War I buildings. Continue along the road that serves the numerous ski lifts (links to trail 688) along trail 680, to road SS48 near the Ristoro Lezuo hut (2142m), from where the trail leads through fields to the Pordoi pass (2239m), situated to the south of the Sella chain, home to the “Bruno Crepaz” mountain training centre belonging to the Italian Alpine Club (CAI) (Alta via n. 2 trail).
Only 20 minutes away, the German bone depositary and monument to the 1915-18 war. Cable car to Mount Sass Pordoi. From here the climb to the peak of Mt. Piz Boè 3152m ASL is on foot. Bus links to Sellaronda, Val Gardena, Canazei, Val di Fassa and Val di Fiemme, or to Arabba, Corvara and Val Badia.
