Turn-by-turn directions
The trail around the Sassolungo is of undeniable appeal; a unique and unforgettable experience.
Starting from the enchanting Monte Pana, we climb up the first hill to arrive at Emilio Comici Hut. After which the trail develops along at a medium altidude of around 2.200 – 2.300 metres above sea level, until it reaches the famous Sasso Piatto Hut, where the desent to return to Monte Pana begins. The enchanting landscape together with the breathtaking panorama let us forget all our exertion. After crossing the legendary Stone City, formed of countless blocks of rock, we reach the Sella Pass, where we can enjoy a spectacular view towards the Marmolada glacier, Queen of the Dolomites. Following the trail we have firstly a beautiful panorama of the Fassa valley, and then of Alpe di Siusi- the biggest mountain plateau in the Alps, together with the Catinaccio group and the Sciliar massif, from which the natural park takes its name, and thanks to its alluring peaks Punta Santner and Punta Euringer became the symbol of South Tyrol.
