From the Pass to Fuciade, chasing the flavours of Ladin cuisine

A winter hike from San Pellegrino Pass to Fuciade

From Moena, by car or by ski bus, reach the San Pellegrino Pass. Descend for about 200 meters on the opposite side, and at the location of a ski trail overpass, turn left onto the paved road that leads to the parking area near the Miralago hotel. From here, a comfortable, mostly flat forest road leads to the Fuciade basin, a spectacular limestone amphitheatre dominated by majestic peaks. A paradisiacal place, dotted with "tabià", largely rebuilt after the First World War.

The itinerary ends at Fuciade Rifugio. The return follows the same route, on foot or with a sled pulled by horses.

The tracks are primarily beaten only by foot traffic and are not subject to mechanical maintenance or grooming services. Specific signs marking the itinerary are not present along the route.

Pay close attention to the terrain at all times, as icy and slippery sections can occur, especially in shaded areas.

Ensure you are properly equipped with hiking boots, crampons, and poles.

1. Plan your hike according to your abilities, the weather, the characteristics and conditions of the itinerary as well the avalanche risk.

2. Always prefer being accompanied by somebody. If possible, rely on a professional mountain guide.

3. Make sure you have suitable clothes and equipment (boots, shoe spikes and poles).

4. Inform somebody of your itinerary, return time and possible changes.

5. Take it easy, enjoy the landscape and the silence.

6. If uncertain about the direction, turn back.

7. Stay out of cross-country and alpine skiing slopes.

8. Respect the environment around you. Bring back your rubbish.

9. Bring your pet along but keep it on a leash.

10. Help those in need. Call the European emergency number 112 only in case of real necessity.
