My route

📍Hike from Col Raiser carpark situated in the town of Selva di Val Gardena.

The hike from here to the Seceda ridgeline is a steep but moderate hike, 6.4km and involves 970m of ascent. The route follows path 1 and 1a up the valley, zig-zagging beneath the gondola and should take

2-3 hours one way.

If you head to the top of Seceda, i recommend you take extra time in and around the mountain huts. Hike down towards some of the huts that sit not too far from the top as they make a sensational backdrop, combined with the rolling green hills and flowers in summer. It’s absolutely stunning 🌸

Stay: Fermeda Hutte overnight, wake early to hike to Seceda ridgeline for sunrise 🌄
