Stage 3 Dolomiti Trek King in autumn - Sassolungo

From the Sasso Piatto mountain hut, take trail no. 527 downhill and continue along the same route towards the panoramic Piz de Uridl, before descending into the western basin of Sassolungo. From here, climb briefly up the scree gully, with the Vicenza mountain hut already in sight. After passing the hut, move onto the opposite side of the massif, following trails no. 526 and 526/A. The route crosses a slope of impressive reddish rocks before reaching the grassy saddle of Piz Ciaulonch. After passing through a maze of boulders, continue along a flatter section and then tackle the climb that leads near the Comici mountain hut. From here, take trail no. 526/C into the spectacular City of Stones. Continue towards Passo Sella and the Salei mountain hut. Shortly after, take a dirt road down into green Val Salei, following the ski slope in the final stretch towards Pian de Frataces/Lupo Bianco.
You then reach the Pecedac forest road, which you follow briefly before taking the turn-off on the right towards Mortic. Enter the woods, where a series of increasingly sharp switchbacks leads you in a striking zigzag through the trees.
Once out in the meadows, join trail no. 655, which follows the Antermont stream and descends to Canazei. From the historic centre, it is just a short walk to the Strèda de Parèda bus stop, where you can take the Trentino Trasporti bus back to Pera.

Provide clothing and equipment suitable for the effort and length of the hike and carry in your backpack what is needed for possible emergency situations, along with a minimal first aid kit.

1. Plan your hike according to your abilities, the weather, the characteristics, and conditions of the itinerary.
