Ciampedìe - Gardeccia

Hiking from Ciampedìe to the hollow of Gardeccia. You walk in the realm of King Laurin with an exceptional view of the Larséch cliffs, Cima Catinaccio and the austere Dolomite spires of the Vajolet Towers. 

From Vigo di Fassa go up to Ciampedìe (1,998 m) with the cable car. You will enjoy a superb view over the Dolomites of Fassa from this sunny plateau. From the cable car’s exit go towards the playground area. Walk along the path passing on the left side of the Kinderpark ("The Path of Animals"). Once you get to a crossroad, follow the downhill trail on the left that leads down to "Pian Pecei" (an altitude drop of about 200 m; as an alternative, you can catch the chair lift - the run is included in the return ticket of the cable car). Near the departure of Ciampedìe chair lift, cross a short stretch of ski slope walking rightwards. Bypass the chair lift station of Vajolet II (tunnel). From here take the "Path of Legends" and begin to ascend. In the first stretch the forest road passes alongside the ski slope and then it goes up across the wood. Once you get to a farmhouse, keep walking on the left hand side. You will reach the hollow of Gardeccia in about 10 minutes.
