Begin by climbing steeply to pass of Forcella del Camp (1933 m),  follow route 554 and skirt by the Civetta massif on an exposed trail. Take route 552 then route 548 to descend into the Val di Frela, towards the town of Agordo, where you can take a bus (approx. 40 mins) to Belluno (see your info pack for the timetable).

Alternatively, if you’d like a longer walk, continue beneath Civetta on route 554 to Rif Carestiato, before descending on route 548 into Agordo. Belluno is the perfect town in which to end your long distance trail, with its compact size, you can enjoy a leisurely stroll around the cafés and boutiques of the old town.

Safety information

Some of the path is on rocky steps; be careful as these may be slippery, especially when wet.

There are some exposed edges; be sure to read instructions carefully, stick to the main path, and don’t wander close to the edge. Use handrails where provided.

In early spring/summer there may still be patches of snow. Walk around where it is possible, and otherwise place your feet carefully and use walking poles if you have them.

This route is above 2,500 metres so bear in mind you may feel shortness of breath and additional muscle fatigue associated with the altitude.

Turn-by-turn directions

These maps and routes are designed to be used in conjunction with our traditional documentation. We have recently embarked on a conversion initiative to bring the two elements together, and this itinerary will be covered in due course.

In the meantime, using the two elements alongside each other should go a long way to ensure you have a safe, enjoyable and problem free day.

Equipment

Such is the way of Alpine hiking that you need to be prepared for all seasons and weathers; sturdy hiking boots, warm clothes and a waterproof/wind-break layer are all required, as is plenty of sun cream and a healthy respect for the sun.

Walking poles will be a big advantage on some of these ascents and descents.

Ensure your phone is fully charged; if you doubt the battery will last throughout the hike it might be beneficial to bring a power bank.

This walk is isolated with few opportunities to buy food or water so be sure to bring enough with you.
