Updated: Jul 8

Touching the sky at 3,152 m above sea level on the border between Veneto and Trentino-Alto Adige. In 2009 the Dolomites became a #UNESCO World Heritage Site for the uniqueness and beauty of the landscape in which they are immersed... #tuttitaly

Piz Boé and Capanna Piz Fassa Refuge (BZ-BL) - Dolomites - Unesco World Heritage - Veneto e Trentino-Alto Adige

During the alpine excursion on the Sella Group, we reached its highest peak: Piz Boé at 3,152 m a.s.l.


How to get there:

Passo Pordoi (2,240 m) is above Canazei in Val di Fassa. Here, we take the cable car that brings us to an altitude of 2,947 m on Sass Pordoi. This is one of the most exposed peaks of the Sella Group. At this point, the path descends to the Forcella del Pordoi, where way no—627 towards Rifugio Boé.

Crossing a lunar landscape, nothing short of spectacular, we approach the Boé Refuge. This is located at the top of the famous Val di Mezdì.


Just before the refuge, a crossroads indicates Piz Boé on the right. We follow the path n. 638. From here on, the path is all uphill. Metal ropes and steps facilitate advancing along even on exposed rocks in some passages. Despite requiring sure-footedness, the aided section does not present significant difficulties.

To reach the summit, we hiked for almost two hours, and we noticed on the Più Boé:

- the transmission antenna;

- the cross on the top;

- the petite Capanna di Fassa, a wooden shelter installed on the few m² available.


An unforgettable day for me, on the highest point ever reached, pure air, an indescribable 360 ​​degree panorama, as if suspended between heaven and earth. Filled with gratitude, I was enjoying that wonderful feeling of freedom.


However, the fantastic panorama of the Sella group and the surrounding Dolomites are not the only attraction of the Boè. The little birds that welcome you in search of food and approach you fearlessly, in the hope of receiving some bread crumbs - are the real protagonists.


I shared some of my piadina with them 😊, throwing them pieces that they picked up in flight, rushing in groups and with many acrobatics. Watch the videos in the full album. Click the link below.
