SASSO DELLE UNDICI

from the Val di San Nicolò

catinaccio e roda di vael

A classic skialp route in Val di Fassa, in fact a real must, which leads to a beautiful balcony in the Dolomites.

It is evaluated MS, the average skier; however, there is a section in the woods, a bit steep, and therefore the ability to ski down in the woods is required, but the tour is so beautiful that you can possibly go down the short stretch on foot.


Access

You reach Pozza di Fassa and you get on the road to Val San Nicolò. You will wonder how the hell you can get to the top of the mountain in front of you, on skis!

impossibile arrivarci

You reach Restaurant Soldanella (1415 m) where there is a wide parking area.
