    Wonderful, little-known loop that offers spectacular views of the "Pesarine" the mountains that divide the Degano Valley from the Pesarina Valley that can also be done by mountain bike.

    The route allows you to enjoy a beautiful walk initially in a dense forest; climbing to an altitude of 1475 m. the view gives us some panoramic glimpses of M.te Chiadin and of the Avanza group behind. Rising in altitude, the road is lined with larch and fir trees, and having reached the pasture of Casera Vas, it is possible to enjoy a fantastic view of all the Pesarine Dolomites and a good part of the Upper Degano Valley. The Casera is currently no longer active although it is used in the summer season for grazing heifers, allowing the maintenance of the meadow-grazing land that performs an important ecological and landscape function. Upstream of the Casera, to protect the most exposed part, a pyramidal structure with stone blocks has been built to serve as an avalanche guard.

    At Casera Monte dei Buoi the pasture valley is dotted with huge limestone boulders and the view is always fantastic!

    Author’s recommendation

    If there are grazing animals present, be sure to properly close the electrified fence gaps.

    Safety information

    In winter conditions, care must be taken when exiting the road from the wooded section to Casera Vas (meadow pasture) due to the steepness of the slope. It is also not recommended to continue to Casera Monte dei Buoi because of frequent avalanche detachment along the valley near the Casera.

    In the winter/spring months it is best to climb with crampons due to possible presence of ice. Depending on the condition of the snowpack you may face the hike with snowshoes. Always consult the Weather and attention to the Avalanche Bulletin before setting off.

    Roadbook

    As soon as we reach Frassenetto, the itinerary begins by following the forest track that branches off to the left, on the opposite side of the square. The road runs along the right side of the Rio Frassenetto and at an elevation of 1149 m crosses the stream and begins to climb in wide bends through the forest to the wooded ridge that descends to the southwest from M. Vas.

    At a fork in the road at an elevation of 1550 m, a short distance from the spring Pozzo di Suttul, take the forest track on the right that slightly uphill leads to Casera Vas (1607 m), located in the center of a scenic clearing (possibility of shelter). The forest track climbs again to the next fork (1650 m) where, taking a left on a narrow cartroad (CAI marker 169), you can reach Casera Monte dei Buoi (1723 m) and a beautiful pasture valley dotted with huge limestone boulders.

    To return, descend back to the junction and take the track to the left that descends in a southerly direction (CAI marker 169) with a series of steep switchbacks. At an altitude of 1325 the road passes near a marble quarry in loc. Naguscel (Grigio Carnico marble) and continues downhill until above the village of Sigilletto. You can descend directly to the village on the marked trail (CAI 169) or continue along the road until you reach the rolling road to Collina. Follow the paved rolling road back to Frassenetto, thus closing the loop.
