A long, officially rated difficult circuit from Passo Sella via paths 557, 527 and 526, passing a chain of rifugi around the Sassolungo massif.
This is a point-to-point route, so plan the return: retrace your steps or check local buses; 750 m of climbing makes this a big physical day, for conditioned dogs only, with turn-back discipline.
