Finally everything is open again and nicely restored; a little detour is worth it for little money and safety equipment.

The little church of Sant'Antonio, located approximately halfway up the Serrai di Sottoguda gorge, was built in ancient times with the specific purpose of protecting travelers who ventured into the gorge, which until a few decades ago was the only route to Malga Ciapela and the Fassa Valley. Originally dedicated to Saint Anthony the Abbot, protector of animals, following a mass slaughter, it was later dedicated to Saint Anthony of Padua, whose feast day is June 13th. This was to allow the population to more easily reach the church for Holy Mass during a more favorable time of year, such as spring. It was renovated in 1880. In 1934, a plaque was placed there in memory of those who fell in the First World War on the Marmolada front. The two frescoes on the side transepts of the entrance door depict Saint Sebastian and Saint Rocco, patron saints of the church of Sottoguda.

Stunning trail in the middle of the woods with arrival at Malga Federa. In winter and with a lot of snow crampons are absolutely necessary, many sections can be icy; if there is deep snow the trail could be hidden but there are several signs on the trees. In these conditions a bit of experience and a lot of caution are necessary, some short passages a bit exposed and an easy section equipped.

Convenient place to reach, whether starting from the Giau pass or from Falzarego. We followed a circular route starting from Falzarego, then reaching Averai, Nuvolau, the 5 Torri and finally returning from Col Gallina.

Behind us we can glimpse the path that enters the heart of the valley.

The first part of Val Travenanzes is like a "Lord of the Rings". Wild and majestic nature. Try to find me in the photo..

You can see sport climbers on every corner. Just pause and watch the ladies and gentlemen doing their great sport. Really nice to look at.

Obviously a paradise for sport climbers. We were able to discover climbers in all possible and sometimes impossible places.
