Urtisiel and Canpuros, dolomite wonders

A loop hike reserved for people who are trained and able to move over sometimes unstable terrain such as steep scree and rocky cliffs.

The trail takes place within the Friulian Dolomites Natural Park, within sight of the Forni di Sopra basin from whose valley floor it starts.

The Giaf refuge launches the walker into the rocky world of these Dolomites, then reaching Forcella Urtisiel where the panorama increases. In this hiking proposal, a short digression leads to the East Urtisiel peak, which is worth a visit by lengthening the walk a little. Back down to the fork, the long green traverse reaches the basin of the isolated Casera Valbinon and the subsequent clearing of Canpuros, heavenly places.

From the nearby Lavinal Pass, a long, steep descent leads back to Borsaia, a short distance from the starting point of this spectacular hiking loop.
