Sella Pass

Highlight • Mountain Pass

The Sella Pass (2,224 meters) separates the Sassolungo Massif from the Sella Group and forms a natural border between Val di Fassa and Val Gardena. The view compensates for the arduous climb.

Chalet Margherita

Highlight • Mountain Hut

Baita Miara Hütte is the penultimate refuge encountered during the circular tour of the Sassolungo. Take a well-deserved break here if you've been walking for a long time, and enjoy the beautiful view of the whole group.

Federico Augusto Hut

Highlight • Mountain Hut

It's the first refuge you come across if you arrive in the morning. You can't miss the krapfen that they churn out in industrial quantities.

It was quite a challenging hike, among many people, but very beautiful

September 7, 2023,6. Tag: König-Friedrich-August-Höhenweg

We stay at the Plattkofelhütte for another night, which is why we were able to leave our large luggage in our room. With a small backpack we hiked this wonderful high-altitude trail with fantastic views of the surrounding mountains. The path ended at the Rifugio des Alpes cable car. Here we had an appointment with BH3000, which was a big …

Another hiking highlight with daughter, son-in-law and 2 grandchildren, 2 and 4 years old, fantastic views, gifts of nature. The rain for the last 1 hour 10 minutes didn't shock us.

Stunning trekking from Sella pass🏔️ to the Sasso Piatto refuge🏡. Incredible 360 degree views, whichever way you turn you will be left breathless🏔️⛰️. We take ourselves from Canazei to the Sella pass by bike 🚴‍♀️🚴‍♂️ (section not counted on the track) along the state road. From the Sella pass we reach the Friedrich August refuge with its legendary donuts 🍩 …

July 11, 2022,Wanderung Sellajoch - Friedrich August Weg - Plattkofelhütte -Plattkofel

We didn't quite get up to the summit cross of the Sassopiatto and turned back after about 2/3, because we had to climb more and we were increasingly unsure about the descent. This could be of importance to one or the other plainsman.

November 2, 2024,Friedrich August Weg vom Sellajoch

Small round trip with family on the Friedrich August path from Sellajoch to just before the Plattkofelhütte. South facing, warm, a bit windy today, but it was enough for a T-shirt and shorts again 😊☀️
Very few people today, probably a line in summer...

After spending the night in the Plattkofelhütte, it took two hours this morning to go to the summit of the Plattkofel and after a short break at the summit cross back to the Plattkofelhütte. After a delicious lunch, the hike continued to the Sella Pass.

From the car park at the Sellajoch pass, it's about 1km through a ski area before you get to the Plattkofelhütte via the beautiful and easy-to-walk Friedrich August Weg. We didn't walk to the hut, but took a small path to the right at a fork, which saved us a good kilometer and rewarded us with a bit of fun …
