Walking ski at the foot of Pelmo

The call of the mountain...

In Mareson, a village just before Pecol, leaving behind the n°251 road, you head up to the village of Coi (1500m). Coi is worth a visit, before putting on our ski boots and skies and heading off on the snow. From the village, the view is spectacular. It looks onto the Pelmo and the Civetta, and offer colours and landscapes that only the most beautiful Dolomites can provide. The call of the mountain, the desire to be always more surrounded by it, encourages our steps towards the summit of the Pelmo.

ITINERARY

We leave Coi, taking track n°473 (you can also take track n°015-025 indicated on the Tabacco map), and you immediately hit the largest part of the gradient change of about 400 m, taking you to Le mandre, where you cross track n°472 , coming from Passo Staulanza. Here, the surrounding nature is wonderful, particularly if silver snowflakes have settled on the auburn Beeches.
You proceed on and take a right towards the Venezia mountain hut, on a up and down hill summer track (highest altitude 1968 m). Once you reach the Passo Rutorto (1931 m), you can decide whether to go directly to the Venezia mountain hut, for a rest and to enjoy the view, returning on the same path taken to arrive there, or to take the even levelled track n°493 to Zoppè di Cadore. Zoppè is the birthplace of two important painters, Masi Simonetti e F. Tomea. Their love for the local mountains brought them to create of the most wonderful works of art. If you choose this second option, you must arrange transport to get you back to your Coi.
Total time 4/5h - gradient change 470 m
