Lago Federa
Description
A clear message on the tour to Lago Federa: take the direct route and descend even more directly. The route is considered one of the classics in the Cortina region and is also ideal for e-mountain bikes due to the lack of pushing sections. From Cortina, the route climbs to Campo and then climbs a little over 800 meters in altitude on the gravel road to the mountain lake. If you want, you can take a detour up to Forcella Ambrizzola, where you can enjoy a wonderful view towards Pelmo and Civetta.
After a refreshing dip in the lake and/or at the Rifugio, it's time for the descent back to Cortina. Follow the 431 trail down to the next lake, Lago d'Ajal. Here you have to cover a short stretch on a gravel road before taking the 428 trail back down to the first houses in Cortina.

The ascent is not technical, but without a motor it is damn hard because it is steep. A sign indicating a gradient of 25% confirmed this feeling. The detour to Ambrizzola is rather relaxed in comparison (although you still have to work for the view), but even today there were a few hikers on the trail. On the descent, we were completely alone again. Very relaxed at the start to roll in. Later I would say the difficulty increases again when it is wet. The roots become very slippery, so if you don't feel comfortable on steep gradients, you should wait for dry weather.
The one or other Elevation loss is also done on gravel.
All in all, it was only OK for me in the wet and not a must-do.
