20. Prato Piazza - Monte Specie

Tour

Start from the Berghotel in Sesto via the cycle path to San Candido, continue to Dobbiaco, turn left onto the cycle path towards Cortina as far as Carbonin. After the "Ploner" holiday complex, you reach the Prato Piazza after 7 km and approx. 1 hour on the forest road. Once there, head via the Vallandro Hut to Monte Specie with a fantastic 360-degree view of the Sesto and Ampezzo Dolomites. After you reach the summit, head back a little to reach the Three Peaka Hotel via trail no. 34 across the Helltal valley. This trail is only recommended for absolute experts and is partially categorised with a difficulty level of S4. This old wartime trail takes you past old emplacements from the First World War, with the highlight being a rock ledge carved into the rock and secured with steel cables that has to be overcome. At the end, the trail becomes a little more flowy and you can enjoy the last section in a relaxed manner. Return via the cycle path to Dobbiaco, San Candido and the starting point.
