Popena Pass and Valle delle Baracche

Highlight • Mountain Pass

signs for the Popena Pass. Among the Crystalline of
Misurina and the spiers of Val Popena Alta, the war mule track leads into a
soft valley which is none other than the Valle delle Baracche.

Ruins of Rifugio Popena

Highlight • Historical Site

Old ruins with an incredibly great background.

The descent \ climb on the pass over path 222 is currently closed because the ground has slipped. Here, therefore, only experienced mountaineers with appropriate equipment should go long. Alternatively you can take the northern route 224.

Ascent to the former Popena Hut

Highlight • Trail

The climb requires some caution, as you have to cross a landslide-prone area. The trail is visible and passable, but you have to be careful to carefully manage the weight of your boots. We used poles, distributing the weight in several places.
From here on, however, the route becomes beautiful, adventurous, solitary, and silent. Stunning.

Not for timid hikers, the last 100 meters to the ruins are a bit risky but breathtakingly beautiful

The tour is beautiful and extremely panoramic. The only advice I can give is to follow it clockwise towards Forcella Popena, following path 224b (I posted a photo of the signpost). Just below the steps that lead to the top of Forcella Popena, the path winds up a fairly slippery scree, which is definitely better to follow uphill rather than …

We tackled the excursion in reverse compared to the route indicated in the books, without the detour towards the Corno d'Angolo. On the way back we wanted to continue along path 222 to rejoin path 224, but where the crossroads should have been there was no junction, so we went back and followed the path marked just above, to return …

July 29, 2021,Dolomiten: Monte Popena Umrundung (Versuch)

Actually a very nice tour around Monte Popena. Unfortunately unfinished this year, hence the addition “attempt” in the title.
Attention: behind the 2nd saddle the path is completely washed away for about 20-30m! Not passable for normal hikers! See also my last two pictures.

Around noon the weather was supposed to get bad and for once the weather forecast was right. But we were more prepared and had chosen a shorter tour for today's last day. It started at Lake Misurina and straight uphill from the start, first over a green meadow, then on a narrow path in serpentines up to the Sella di …
