Loop around the Sella massif from Boè
This circuit on the eastern slope of the Sella massif is a very accessible loop hike with minimal elevation gain and no major technical difficulties. However, you do need to be in good physical shape. Geologically speaking, it's really cool because the hike passes through rock formations typical of the Dolomites and offers breathtaking views.

You’re on ‘the terrace of the Dolomites’. A stunning, surprising setting – I’ll let you discover it for yourself!
An easy walk, popular with families. In good weather, there’s a 360° view. There’s a welcoming mountain hut/restaurant at either end of the walk. If you’re lucky, you might see people in wingsuits jumping and flying off the cliff at Sas de Pordoi

A beautiful circular loop without any lifts, but for experienced mountaineers. The first descent is quite slippery with gravel. The first ascent is a winding path. Some areas may be snow-covered all year round. Follow paths 525 and then 526 carefully.

Departure from Villnöß - Funes (South Tyrol)
Val Di Funes/Villnösstal is a little paradise at the foot of the Odle mountains. This valley, home to the famous mountaineer Reinhold Messner, is off the beaten track. Passing by the foot of the vertiginous cliffs, you can understand how the vocation of one of the greatest conquerors of the peaks came about. And the bucolic setting of this valley also explains why he puts so much energy into defending a natural mountain.
Some places have several names: Val di Funes/Villnösstal, Zannes/Zans, GampenAlm/Malga Gampen
