ロッツォディカドーレの天然記念物・トップ20

The bivouac and adjacent meadow are often crowded. Useful as a base for early climbing excursions.

Getting to the Campanil is not an easy task, but it is worth it.

Trail taken today, 10/12/2024 after days of rain. It cannot be said that the trail is disused in my opinion. It is still an equipped trail that goes into a narrow gorge, along a stream, so caution is required. There are pieces of cord and metal brackets at critical points and a small wooden bridge; you have to be very careful, as the rocks are worn by erosion and very slippery and there may be debris carried by the water that clutters the path. After the rains the stream also swells... but you can get there with due caution That said: the Pile waterfall, spectacular and 25 meters high, consists of a gorge carved out over time by the Oten stream, which originates in the Antelao glaciers and flows into the Centro Cadore lake.

Lago delle Tose is a small body of water known since Roman times for the thermal characteristics and benefits of its waters. It is located in Lagole, an area of considerable archaeological and naturalistic interest near Lago di Centro Cadore. The water that flows between the rocks of the clearing forms streams and waterfalls that culminate in a natural pool. This entire area was part of a religious complex linked to the cult of mineral waters, already frequented in Roman times to perform the abduction of the body. In some places, in addition to the ferruginous color, it is also possible to smell the typical smell of sulfur. A little further south are the Lagole springs, small pools from which water with beneficial properties flows. In the Venetian dialect "tose" means "girls". But the legend from which this small and precious lake takes its name is anything but happy. It is said that a long time ago the girls of the place immersed themselves in its waters to preserve eternal youth. Their beauty aroused the envy of the Anguane, creatures similar to a nymph. One day the Anguane witches attacked the girls while their men were hunting. They beat them to death, including the beautiful Bianca, daughter of the village chief. When the men realized what had happened, they decided in desperation to carry the bodies to the mountain. The God of the lake, as a sign of compassion for the "tose", transformed every drop of blood that fell to the ground into small pink and fragrant flowers, then turned the men into stone so that no one could disturb Bianca's sleep. The Anguane took refuge in the caves but could not escape the vengeance of the God, who poisoned the water, killing them. The valley fell into an unreal silence and an instant later the water regained its beneficial powers.

Forcella Scodavacca, 2050 meters above sea level, its width and length make it peculiar compared to many other forks. It is the typical Dolomite fork.

Beautiful waterfall just a few minutes walk from the Rifugio Capanna degli Alpini. It is approached via the Tabacchi equipped path, now largely abandoned and which must be followed carefully.

The Scodavacca fork is the archetype of the forks and the symbol of the Forni Dolomites. Large and panoramic, it is located at an altitude of 2,043 meters and connects Carnia to Cadore. On its sides, the pass is dominated by the boldest spiers, including the Berti tower and the famous Spinotti tower, as well as Mount Cridola, the highest peak in the area. To reach it, from both sides, requires a long but rewarding climb up a narrow path that turns to gravel towards the top. You can run to the base of the Cridola peak, but to reach the summit the route becomes very technical.

From this col you can climb to the Cridola summit, but this is already an easy climb with a lot of loose rock.
