Itinerary
Experience one of the most iconic high-alpine settings in the Dolomites on this compact yet spectacular 2-day guided adventure in Val Gardena.
This journey leads to the dramatic Forcella Sassolungo (2,685 m) and includes an overnight stay at the legendary Rifugio Toni Demetz, perched between towering limestone walls high above the valley. Surrounded by vertical rock faces and panoramic views across Val Gardena and the Sella massif, this is Dolomite mountaineering atmosphere at its purest.
On day two, you complete the famous Sassolungo circuit, walking beneath massive rock formations and through varied alpine terrain. A short but intense experience — perfect for those seeking exposure, scenery, and authentic hut atmosphere in a limited timeframe.
