    The "Sentiero delle Creste" represents a fascinating hike that connects the peaks of Mount Colmajer and Mount Sesilis, offering a unique experience in the heart of the Western Tolmezzine Alps. Starting from the Tita Piaz Refuge, located near the Pura Pass, the itinerary winds through enchanting landscapes and unspoiled nature.

    Although it does not present particular difficulties, the hike requires attention in some sections, especially during the ascent to the crest of Mount Colmajer. However, the effort is amply repaid by the breathtaking views along the way. The summit, adorned by a small wooden cross, offers an extraordinary panorama: to the east you can admire the Amariana and the Tarvisian mountains, while to the north the magnificent Cadore Dolomite massifs and the brightly colored Lake Sauris stand out.

    The richness of the local ecosystem helps enrich the hiking experience, allowing you to observe a variety of wildlife, including raptors and galliforms, as well as numerous floral species such as lilies and gentians. Every step along the trail is an opportunity to immerse oneself in the beauty of nature, making the "Ridge Trail" an unforgettable experience for outdoor and mountain lovers.

    Author’s recommendation

    The Tita Piaz hut provides food and overnight service during open periods. The Colmajer and Nauleni huts are well maintained by the villagers and offer excellent shelter points in case of sudden bad weather.
