Sweeping ridge views over Val Gardena. From the cable-car mountain station the route follows the panoramic rim path north-east above the Val di Funes cliffs to a quieter saddle viewpoint, then returns beneath the Fermeda towers past Baita Troier.
This is a true loop: it closes back on its own start point, so there's no return leg to plan; 550 m of gain over 10.8 km is a real climb: budget rests, and halve expectations for short-legged dogs.
Mapped start suggestion — Seceda upper lift station. Check current access before travelling.
Do not rely on potential water locations being available or drinkable. Carry enough for the full walk.
Use the live forecast, check local access information and be ready for changing mountain conditions.
