Itinerary
The Rosengarten (Catinaccio) is one of the most iconic mountain groups of the Dolomites. Towering rock towers, dramatic limestone walls and spectacular alpine scenery make this area a true paradise for hikers.
On this two-day Dolomagic hiking adventure we explore the most beautiful highlights of the Rosengarten massif. Starting from Passo Costalunga (Karerpass), we take the lift to the Paolina area before continuing on foot into the heart of the mountains.
Our route leads beneath the impressive Roda di Vael, across panoramic alpine terrain toward the legendary Vajolet Towers — one of the most famous rock formations in the Dolomites. From here we continue higher toward Passo Santner, a spectacular mountain pass surrounded by dramatic limestone walls.
We spend the night high in the mountains at Rifugio Passo Santner, one of the most beautifully located huts in the Rosengarten group. After a traditional mountain dinner we enjoy the sunset atmosphere in the heart of the Dolomites before spending the night at the hut.
This tour combines iconic Dolomites scenery, spectacular hiking trails and an unforgettable hut experience, guided by a local Dolomagic mountain guide.
