Latemar and Catinaccio

The adjacent and separate Latemar and Rosengarten mountain groups mark the western borders of the Fiemme and Fassa valleys. The Latemar and Catinaccio mountain ranges, of extraordinary natural and landscape significance, offer some of the most well-known Dolomite landmarks, such as the Torre di Pisa and the Torri del Vajolet, climbed by Georg Winkler and Tita Piaz.

The Latemar Group can be easily reached on foot thanks to the many trails that start from Pampeago, just above Tesero in Val di Fiemme or with ski lifts, from Predazzo up to Rifugio Passo Feudo (2.175m). This is the departure point for a hike that leads to (mountain hut) Torre di Pisa, which is considered the gateway to the Latemar mountain range.

The Pale di San Martino, Lagorai massif, Adamello and the Brenta mountain groups are the many peaks that open up before you. We would advise you make a stop at the Latemarium hiking park, which offers a privileged scenic view of these enthralling peaks and many theme trails that are also suitable for children.

While the Catinaccio can be reached directly from the centre of Vigo di Fassa (San Giovanni di Fassa) thanks to a modern cable car that takes you up to Belvedere del Ciampedìe (2.000 m a.s.l.) in just a few minutes. The mountain hut with the same name, which is considered one of the starting points of all the hikes in the Catinaccio - Rosengarten area, is a natural terrace. In fact, from here you have a superb view of the Dolomiti di Fassa: from the Gruppo del Sella, with its Sass Pordoi (2.950 m a.s.l.), to Sassolungo (3.181 m a.s.l.), the Gruppo del Latemar up to the Marmolada, the Queen of the Dolomites.
