Col Becchei

The alpine mountain Col Becchei in the middle of the Fanes-Sennes group offers an absolutely magnificent mountain panorama and a challenging and long trail descent via the Rautal valley.

Description

You start at the sports facilities above St. Vigil. From here, it's a relaxed ride along the so-called Rautal valley amidst the bizarre Dolomite rock faces on asphalt to the Pederü hut. From the Pederü hut, the route then climbs up to the Rifugio Fanes (Fanes hut) on gravel, sometimes a little steeply and then with varying gradients. From the Fanes hut to the Limo Pass, it's another tough climb before you reach Lake Limo and push and carry your bike up Sentiero 418. At the saddle, there are still some positions from the First World War. Until then, the ascent from the lake was relatively easy. The ascent can also be completed here. The summit itself is only a few meters away, but there are two significant uphill and downhill sections to plan for. If you accept this, you will reach the summit of Col Becchei at 2794 meters above sea level and enjoy the magnificent mountain panorama in the heart of the Dolomites.

The descent is at difficulty levels S2 to S3 except for the two sliding sections, which are somewhat exposed along the entire length. At the military positions, the descent to Lake Limo is at S1/S2 level. Afterwards, the trail cut-offs again lead to the Pederü hut on difficulty S2 to S3 and then along the valley paths of the Rautal valley to the starting point.
