Description
We'll meet in the late afternoon at Rifugio Fedare on Passo Giau and set off on trail 463, an easy mule track through alpine meadows. From the grassy saddle, the path narrows as we climb the ridge toward Monte Pore, with some rocky sections near the top. The 490 meters of elevation gain is steady but manageable, designed to bring us to the summit just as the sun drops low and the enrosadira begins. The descent follows the same route, and we'll use headlamps once the light fades. The entire loop takes about three hours, giving you time to watch the peaks glow pink and orange before heading down.

Frequently Asked Questions
