The Countess of Dolèda
Col dei Rossi
- 2.382 m
Altitude - Easy
The legend of the Countess of Dolèda
A new sculpture, designed by the artist from Fassa Valley Andrea Dorigatti. A surprising metal construction 3.6 meters high and so light to move in the wind and shine in the sun, located at Col dei Rossi at the exit of Alba - Col dei Rossi and Pecol - Col dei Rossi lifts.
The Countess of Dolèda is present in many tales of the Ladin population of the Dolomites, but it is here that one of the most powerful local traditions tied to this mysterious figure can be found. Legend narrates that a rich noblewoman who had escaped from the war with her three children and her servants found shelter in Val di Fassa. She had a castle built on the top of a vein of gold on Col de Dolèda, above the little village of Alba di Canazei. Furthermore, she had caves carved out into stables for her horses and they say that the rings, fixed into the rock to keep the animals tied up, were still visible up until a few decades ago. They say that every Sunday the Lady travelled on her carriage pulled by white horses and was followed by a procession of villagers, pipers and drummers. She was so respected that even the priest started celebrating mass only when the Countess and her following had reached the church. To this day no archaeological findings of the castle have ever been found, in spite of the long time spent searching, but tradition wants these remains to have been used to build the bell tower of Alba’s church.
SASS PORDOI - THE TERRACE OF THE DOLOMITES
SASS - PORDOI
- 2.950 m
Altitude
Sass Pordoi is easily reached on the modern cableway which, in just 4 minutes, whisks you up to the top, at 2,950 m, and to the most incredible terrace of the Dolomites. It is one of those places that expresses all the majesty of nature, the vastness of the sky, the insignificance of man. Even as you approach the valley terminal of the cable car you'll be faced with one of the loveliest rock formations in the Dolomites: Sass Pordoi, perched on a rounded grassy pedestal almost suspended above an enormous pile of rocky debris, which has crumbled over the years from the bedrock that majestically and impassively towers above the surrounding countryside. As you ascend, you'll be pleased to find yourself "face-to-face" with this mountain of infinite beauty. It's almost as though you could reach out and touch it. The ascent proceeds vertically and allows you to observe every outcrop, every meander of the mountain. When you step off the cableway, you'll find yourself on an incredible natural terrace suspended between the mountains. On sunny days, you can lie down as though you were at the seaside. In actual fact, there was a sea here once. A primordial sea that pulled back thousands of years ago, stopping time on the faces of mountains that now dominate undisputedly a landscape that has become unforgettable, while then they were merely submerged rocks.
From whichever side of Sass Pordoi you glance, you'll be treated to a truly all-round view of all the major Dolomite peaks: from the basin of Ampezzo, to the Marmolada, Pale di San Martino and Saslonch, through to the southern spurs of the Ortles and Cevedale groups, and to the Swiss and Austrian Alps.

GUIDED ACTIVITY every Tuesday and Sunday from 10:15 AM to 12:15 PM
Easy hike of about 2 hours, suitable for everyone. Besides discovering the forest and its plants, we’ll walk right into the squirrels’ natural habitat.
The natural habitat of the squirrel includes both coniferous and broad-leaved forests, reaching up to 2,000 meters above sea level. Squirrels are diurnal animals and spend the night in tree cavities. They are arboreal and skilled jumpers. Their diet mainly consists of nuts, buds, shoots, acorns, mushrooms, and fruits, though they may also eat small animals, eggs, and insects. In summer, they store large amounts of food in hidden caches to use during scarce times – though they often forget them, helping plants to spread naturally.
DOLO-MITICO” CIRCUS WORKSHOP
At 2:30 PM, location: Ciampedie at the Baby Park (free activity, park entrance fee required)

Let yourself be lulled by the sounds of nature and caressed by the pure mountain air, even relaxation and the search of peace will become easier and more complete.

GUIDED ACTIVITY every Friday at 10:00 AM
For the falconer, practising the art in its purest form is not a pastime but a way of life: ‘The falconer does not neglect the art and technical practice, but is passionate and perseveres in it so that, even when he grows old, he does not devote himself less to this art, for everything will proceed from the love he has for it.’ (De arte venandi cum avibus)
For one day, experience the excitement of a centuries-old tradition and let yourself be lulled by an ancient medieval dream.
Meeting point at 10:00 a.m. at Ciampedie.
In case of rain, the event will take place at the Vigo di Fassa event tent.

SENSORY JOURNEY: Take your emotions up to the mountains!
What peace the mountain can give... but are we sure we can live it to the fullest? Here is a sensory experience to discover places and reconnect with nature, dedicated to those who want to carefully cross the Ciampac basin. We encourage you to recover the simplicity of small gestures, the authentic contact with places that are often experienced carelessly, the beauty of slow time through the real activation of the five senses. Bring your emotions to high altitude!
Once you get off the cable car that goes up from Alba di Canazei, buy the box at the information point near the playground. Inside you will find the directions to follow in each of the seven stages of the route. The first five will be dedicated to the senses (sight, hearing, touch, taste and smell), the last two to memory and emotions. In the box you will find other useful material for your experience, including a voucher to be delivered immediately to the mountain refuge to collect a gastronomic surprise. “To think out of the box”, this is what we invite you to do during the journey of about a kilometer traced in the plain located on the slopes of Mount Colac, away from the crowd.
An original and exciting proposal, to take with you much more than a simple walk.
- When: every day
- For who: adults. It is recommended to live the experience alone or in small groups
- Duration: approx. 2 hours
- Price: € 10 (box included)
- Possibility to have lunch in a mountain hut

13:00 - 17:30
The waterfall with COLUMNAR BASALT formations in "Pian Frataces". Basalt is an effusive rock of volcanic origin. Dark or black in colour, it contains a relatively low percentage of silica (from 45 to 52% in weight). Basalt mainly consists of calcium-rich plagioclase minerals and pyroxenes. Some basalts can also be rich in olivine. The intrusive equivalent of basalt is gabbro. The appearance of basalt spans from porphyritic to microcrystalline and vitreous. It forms when a magma rapidly cools in contact with air or water, and is the principal rock forming the uppermost layer of the oceanic crust. Basaltic magmas form by decompression melting of the earth's mantle.

Sass Pordoi is tantamount to walking on the bed of an ancient sea The creation of Sass Pordoi in the sea that covered the Dolomites dates back 300 million years. The coral island that formed was moulded over time by sedimentations, eruptions, splitting and uplifting of the rocks. Its history is testified by the ammonites, shells and minerals that can be found in the Sella Group.
THE FRIARS OF VAL DURON

08:30 - 17:30
A geologically fascinating locality, Val Duron is a lush and extensive valley wedged between the Saslonch and Catinaccio ranges.
Unique, unusual rock formations called "Frati" are to be found along the valley.
These strange and original forms of erosion sculptured in the volcanic rock exercise an incredible fascination.
An excursion that's not to be missed. One that becomes even more suggestive as you comfortably ascend on the cableway to Col Rodella and proceed along the only slightly sloping footpath at the foot of the Saslonch Group to Passo Duron.

You reach breathtaking scenery by lifts, surrounded by the Sassolungo Group, Sella Group and the majestic Marmolada. Paragliders and hang-gliders can take off for numerous flights from Col dei Rossi or Col Rodella, each with different characteristics and always thrilling. When you're in the air, the Dolomite ranges resemble stone giants and flying over them is an unforgettable experience. Each time you fly, you'll enjoy a view of rare splendour, incomparable scenery certainly no less lovely than the world's most famous flight locations. Soaring flight and cross-country flight experiences are equally varied, suitable for both experts and beginners. Less daring visitors can admire the green slopes of Col Rodella and see the glider pilots take off under the sun of the Dolomites while taking snaps of their feats to enjoy at home.
