Ütia de Lavarella

Highlight • Mountain Hut

This Ücia fits perfectly into the mountain landscape. It exudes a wonderful atmosphere in the valley basin, and even marmots occasionally stop by.

Jù de Sant Antone Pass (2,466 m)

Highlight • Mountain Pass

The Sant Antonio pass or Ju de Sant Antone in Ladin is a saddle with a spectacular 360 degree panorama. The climb is very demanding on both sides and in many points it is a must to get off the saddle and push the e-bikes or carry the muscles on the shoulders. The effort is abundantly rewarded by the panorama.

Direction east -> west descent towards Val Badia: it is probably more pedalable uphill and less bumpy, the descent becomes easier but for very skilled riders, be careful not to move stones that rolling downwards could hit any hikers uphill, if in doubt, get off the saddle and proceed accompanying the bicycle

Direction west -> east ascent from Val Badia and descent towards the Lavarella refuge: you cycle until under the scree then for many stretches you go on a very wide path but with a loose surface. The final zig zag is quite challenging. The descent towards the basin of the Fanes and Lavarella refuges is easier, steep in the initial part, slightly exposed. But much less technical in this direction.

Piz de Sant Antone (Antonius Peak, 2,655 m)

Highlight • Summit

The Piz de Sant Antone is in a relatively little-used mountain with a gigantic view over the Fanes-Sennes-Braies nature park. In the north, the view extends to the glaciers of the main Alpine ridge. From the Fanes Alm you can reach the summit in less than an hour and a half by foot.
