Trip Essentials
The walk
Long days, high passes
and the Rosengarten.
Val di Fassa sits among the Marmolada, the Sella and the Rosengarten, three of the great massifs of the Dolomites. This circuit walks through all of them.
You start in the quiet Monzoni group, where ibex are often seen, then cross to Fedaia Lake beneath the Marmolada, the highest peak in the Dolomites. The middle days cross the Sella and go round the Sassolungo, and the trip's high point is Passo d'Antermoia at 2,770 m, above a small lake in the Rosengarten.
It's the more demanding of our two Dolomites hut treks, with days of up to 19 km and eight hours.
The route, day by day.
A fixed self-guided package: every stage, every night's accommodation and every luggage transfer is arranged before you set off.

Things walkers ask us.
How hard is it?
Challenging. Several days are seven or eight hours with more than 1,000 m of climbing, and the high passes are rocky. You should be fit and used to long mountain days.
When can I book?
Very soon. We're confirming prices with our local team now. Register your interest and we'll tell you as soon as it opens.
Who do I book with?
You book with Big Trail Adventures and pay us. We arrange everything with our local team, who look after you on the ground.
Is the Fassa Dolomites Hut to Hut tour self-guided?
Yes. This is a self-guided trip: you walk the 74 km route independently, with no guide and no group. Accommodation for all 6 nights is booked for you, route notes and maps are provided, and there is local support in the region if anything goes wrong.
Do I need a guide or can I walk it alone?
No guide is needed. The route is walked on marked paths with the notes and mapping supplied in your pack. You choose your own start date within the season (late June to mid-September, when the huts are open) and walk each day at your own pace.
Who arranges the accommodation?
We do. Two nights in a 3-star hotel in Val di Fassa and four in mountain huts on the route. Hut rooms are simple and often shared.
