Crossing of the Puez Group

DESCRIPTION
Ring hike in the Puez-Odle Nature Park.
The itinerary we propose is a very scenic route that crosses some of the most beautiful mountain groups in the Dolomites. Starting from Selva di Val Gardena we will be accompanied by the view of the Sassolungo. Turning towards the Firenze refuge up to the Forcella de Sieles we will be attracted by the Odle Group. Traveling along the Alpe del Puez, we will feel enveloped by a lunar atmosphere. As soon as we pass the Puez Refuge we will have a beautiful view of the Vallunga and as we go forward, passing under the Sas Ciampac and the great Cir, in the distance, we will be able to see all the path we have done: a beautiful scenery of mother nature.

ITINERARY
From the car park (1613 m) go back along the asphalted road for a few meters and then turn right onto a dirt road signposted 26. In the locality of Daunei, continue on path 3 and, after passing the Juac Refuge (1905 m), you reach the Rifugio Firenze/Regensburger Hütte (2040 m). Here you continue on the 2 towards Forcella de Sieles. Arrived at the saddle (2505 m) you always continue on the 2 uphill. Here we find a very short stretch with a metal cord, about 100 meters. Arriving at the Rifugio Puez (2475 m) continue on the 2 arriving in order to the Forcella Ciampei (2366 m) and the Forcella Crespeina (2526 m). Now we go down the path 12 which will bring us back to the starting point.
