Vallon Bianco

Vallon Bianco

The Vallon Bianco is a high alpine mountain steeped in history in the middle of the Sennes-Fanes region, on which a military road from 1915 winds its way up to an altitude of 2684 meters above sea level. The Sennes-Fanes region was a heavily contested mountain front during the First World War.


Description

The tour starts in St. Vigil. If you want, you can ride to the Pederühütte hut by car. There are plenty of parking spaces here to park your car and then take the continuous road up towards the Fanes hut. From the Pederühütte, a mountain panorama of unparalleled beauty opens up, with the Dolomites rising up to the left and right, revealing their high alpine character and indescribable beauty. From the Pederühütte hut, it is a 700-metre climb to the Limojoch pass and the Limosee lake. On the saddle itself, you can already see your destination, the Vallon Bianco. Although it's hard to imagine a military road reaching up to the summit, with a bit of intuition and an eagle eye you can make out the serpentines and the buildings. From the Limojoch, you roll downhill briefly on the military road to the Große Fanesalm at 2100 meters above sea level. Thoughts about stopping for a good coffee and a Strudel di Mele should not be discarded here, but put into practice. The Große Fanesalm is known for its delicacies and wonderful views. From here, the ascent to the summit begins on trail no. 17. The path to the summit is extremely exposed and only suitable for people with alpine experience and a head for heights. In parts, you ride along rock faces, where there is a vertical drop of 700 to 800 meters. If this is not the case, the ascent can be made up to the first rock face. Regarding the ascent, it should be noted that the road and the access routes to the summit were well repaired at the end of the 1970s. Riding/pushing is possible in places, but the bike must be carried in certain areas. After carrying your bike for up to three hours, you will be rewarded with an incredible view of the mountains from the summit and you will feel like you have landed on another planet. Monte Vallon Bianco is certainly one of the highlights and one of the most hidden bike mountains in the Dolomites, although its bloody past from the First World War keeps catching up with it.

The descent from the summit to the Große Fanesalm has a maximum difficulty level of S2, but as mentioned, there is a considerable risk of falling. Full concentration and absolute bike control are a prerequisite. Pushing and carrying the bike for short periods of time is not a disgrace here, but also partly responsible and mandatory, but the adventure and the view are magnificent. Back to the Fanesalm, you then head back up to the Limojoch and over the trail cut-offs back to the Pederühütte, which offers a few more single trails with difficulty levels from S2 to S3. Back at the Rifugio Pederü, you can look forward to having conquered one of the most extreme mountains in the Dolomites by bike and perhaps end the day with a small cappuccino and vino bianco on the Vallon Bianco.

Note: The tour can also be tackled from the Cortina region. The starting point is the Saint Uberto parking lot at the hairpin bend on the road from Cortina to Dobbiaco.
