To the Città di Fiume Refuge

From Staulanza Pass to the refuge Città di Fiume is a classic itinerary that allows everyone to approach this activity without difficulty, but allows, should snow conditions be favourable, the excursion to be extended to the Malga Prendera area.

The start is just above Selva di Cadore at hairpin bend no. 3 of Passo Staulanza, where there is a large car park. Easy ascent along a well-trodden and never steep road to the hut, which is reached in less than an hour.

If you wish to continue a little further, you will reach the 'Forcella della Puina' with a magnificent view of the Rocchette and the Becco di Mezzodì.  With a short descent, you cross Forcella Roan before tackling the ascent to Malga Prendera; an excellent stopping point.

The return is by the same route as the ascent. Before continuing beyond the Rifugio Città di Fiume, it is recommended that you consult the snow and avalanche bulletin from the Arabba weather centre.
