Embark on a difficult 11.8-mile (19.1 km) loop tour from Val Gardena, offering a diverse hiking experience between the Sella Group and Vallunga. This route involves a significant 3659 feet (1115 metres) of elevation gain and typically takes around 7 hours and 50 minutes to complete. You will traverse varied terrain, starting in meadows before ascending through thick spruce and larch forests, eventually reaching more barren, rocky landscapes. As you climb, enjoy panoramic views of the jagged Cir mountains and the Puez-Odle Group, passing by the serene Crespëina Lake and the unique karst Crespëina plateau, sometimes described as a moonscape.
This loop is a full-day commitment, but if you prefer a less strenuous outing, the Vallunga section offers easier, family-friendly walks. These shorter excursions have more moderate slopes and are ideal for picnics, with opportunities to spot wildlife. The full route ascends into high-alpine landscapes within the Puez-Odle Nature Park, providing a refreshing break from more crowded areas of the Dolomites. You can also plan a stop at Rifugio Puez, a popular mountain hut along the way.
The Trekking from Valgardena loop is notable for exploring the often-overlooked Val de Chedul and Vallunga valleys, which tend to be blissfully quiet. Vallunga is recognized as a natural paradise, especially appealing to families due to its carved wooden animal figures along the path and numerous picnic opportunities. Keep an eye out for chamois, roe deer, sheep, and even eagles in these quieter areas, adding to the unique charm of this challenging yet rewarding Dolomite adventure.
