An easy ski mountaineering excursion on a groomed path which, after an initial stretch of woodland, soon gives you a way to a magnificent landscape, with the Putia mountain and the Gardenacia plateau being the first ones to be seen during the ascent. A little higher up, the white enchantment of the Armentara meadows awaits you, one of the wonders of Alta Badia, with the imposing Sasso Croce peeping out. On the final ascent, the spectacular landscape also includes the majestic Sassongher and the Sella Group.

Details

From La Val, starting from the car park after Furnacia, you can quickly reach the wide Armentara meadow plateau. Continuing on path no. 15A you climb gently up to the foot of the majestic mountain Sasso Croce and to the sanctuary Santa Croce. The descent is possible along the ski slope to the village of Badia.
