The Seceda summit is probably the most crowded mountain in the Dolomites these days... You should arrive before 8 a.m., because the first cable car takes you up at 8:00 or 8:30 a.m. Before that, you'll have peace and quiet, but afterward, it gets very busy and crowded. Those arriving on foot are best advised to take the ascent from Selva or the Cristauta parking lot... Once you get to the top, most people aren't interested in the Seceda itself. Because everything revolves around the view from the Seceda to the Odle Group... Although the panoramic view from the Seceda summit itself is certainly not to be sniffed at: you get a fantastic panoramic view. As of September 2025, there's a turnstile at one of the entrances to the Seceda with a €5 entrance fee, but you can avoid this!

The mountain's name is derived from the Latin word siccus (dry). It refers to the arid and dry pastureland below the summit.
