Brief description

At the foot of the "Dolèda" ridge, where witches are said to have gathered, lies Penìa. The last town in the Val di Fassa, almost perched on the slopes of the Marmolada, is rich in history and ancient traditions that are worth discovering.

Description

From Hotel Sonia, go uphill along Strèda de Treve street. Once reached the central square of Penìa, pass to the right of the fountain along "Troi de Lorenz" street and come out in the fields, behind the village. Proceed on the road, cobbled in the steepest parts, that cuts through the steep slope and leads first to the settlement of "Lorenz" and its church and then, slightly upstream, to "Vera". Pass to the right of the small church dedicated to "Madonna de l’Aiut", with a wonderful view on Gran Vernel’s majestic north face. Top left, about ten metres away from the alley, the ruins of "Insom" testify to the existence of a third living unit. Go back and, once reached Strèda de Treve street again, follow it leftwards for about 100 m and then turn right in Strèda de Vernel street. Get on the main road to Fedaia Pass, cross it and, following the pavement that, in a southerly direction, skirts Strèda de Ciamp Trujan street, return to the starting point. 

Directions

From Hotel Sonia go up Strèda de Treve. When you reach the central square of Penìa, go up on the right of the fountain until you come out of the village and reach the meadows behind it.

Once you reach the main road, cross it and return to the starting point. As an alternative, follow the main road until Hotel Agomer. On the right hand side take Strèda dò Veisc and descend to the village of Canazei.

Equipment

Most of the trails are beaten by walkers. There is no daily maintenance service, but only occasional or following a snowfall. Anyway, this does not prevent the presence of some icy and slippery spots on the tracks, especially in the parts placed in shadow. Carefully observe the ground you’re walking on and be always properly equipped (boots, crampons, and poles). Carry in your backpack the necessary to face possible emergency situations, and a first aid kit.

Safety instructions

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, crampons, 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 112 only in case of real necessity.

Tips

Hiking with or without snowshoes. We invite you to contact our mountain guides to check path conditions.

Must-see: Cèsa Dovolavilla, a typical ladin "majon" equipped with a bread oven; the Church of St Rocco and St Sebastiano in the square with the fountain; historic buildings with wooden balconies and galleries.

Refreshment point: Bar in Penìa (old town).
