Description

Beautiful and very popular walk that, from the pass of Passo Rolle, arrives at the hut of Baita Segantini, undoubtedly one of the most visited destinations in the Dolomites. The main feature of the entire walk, which develops entirely along the gravel road that connects the pass with the hut (as part of the long itinerary of “Sentiero Italia” – SI), is the magnificent picture offered towards the E on the W sector of the Pala Group, with the peak of Cimon della Pala that stands out isolated on the right and the imposing peaks of Vezzana, Bureloni, Val Grande, Mulaz and Venegiòta. In addition to the peaks belonging to the Pala Group, particularly interesting are the sights of Monte Castellazzo to the N, Passo Rolle and Punta Rolle to the S, the mountain range of Lagorai to the SE and Paneveggio with the Valley of Fiemme to the E.

The starting point is Passo Rolle (1,984 m asl), near a large car park, located a few hundred meters from the gap, on the E side towards the village of San Martino di Castrozza. A gravel road ascending towards Capanna Cervino / Baita Segantini begins right from the parking lot. The entire route is marked with yellow and black markers, with visible special signs and with repeated marks for those intending to reach the huts of Capanna Cervino and Baita Segantini, in order to minimize the dangers associated with crossing the ski slope. In fact, the itinerary crosses in a couple of points the tracks of the Passo Rolle ski area (Castellazzo slope).

From the hut of Capanna Cervino (2,084 m asl) the hike continues along a wide track until reaching, after a relatively flat stretch, directly to Baita Segantini (2,181 m asl), located with its small lake at the head of Val Venegia, facing the peaks of the Pala Group.
