The trip on the Alba-Col dei Rossi lift is beautiful and panoramic . When you reach the top at 2382 m you can enjoy a special 360° view : from Fedaia lake and Marmolada “the Queen of the Dolomites” to the Sella, Sassolungo and Catinaccio groups, made even more special thanks to the art installation of the legendary Dòleda countess. The walk along the Avisio river is very easy and relaxing.

From Col dei Rossi, you can reach the Belvedere hollow, all the while enjoying the magnificent view of the Sassolungo Group and the majestic Piz Ciavazes. When you reach the Lupo Bianco Lake (locality Pian Frataces), you can start your descent towards the basalt waterfalls, its name comes from their basalt columns, extrusive rocks of volcanic origins.

From Col dei Rossi, you will be able to admire the amazing chromatic and morphological contrasts between the white and intrepid calcareous Dolomites sides (Marmolada and Colac) and the milder and darker slopes made of lava and of volcanic materials (Crepa Neigra). In the Ciampac basin, children can have fun at the Ciampark playground.

Once you have reached an altitude of 2950metres you will find an easy loop itinerary on the plateau of the Terrace of the Dolomites. The path, immersed among the moon like rocks of Sass Pordoi, has an extension of almost 1000 metres and runs slightly uphill: it is highly recommended for anyone wishing to admire the panoramic horizon which spreads right across to the Austrian Alps as well as offering unique views over Marmolada, Catinaccio and Sassolungo. The moon like conformation, ancient sea bottom dating back 300 million years ago, is visible over the entire atoll and it is sometimes possible to catch sight of fossil remains.
