NATURALISTIC-GLACIOLOGIC ANTELAO PATH

This path is developed in the mountain range between Valle del Boite, Val d’Oten and Valle del Piave. The route allows for a journey in the geological past of the area: like reading a book in which each chapter is made up by the rock formations with their history of layers and fossil, the main chapter being about the Dolomia rock, from which its namesake mountain range, the Dolomites. This route is generally divided in three stages, and it takes as a starting and ending point the town of San Vito di Cadore (1100 m). The first step is Rifugio Galassi (see “How to get to us – From San Vito di Cadore”), the second is Rifugio Antelao and then back to the starting point. Naturalistical and geological facts and peculiarities are noted in the book “Il sentiero naturalistico-glaciologico dell’Antelao” by the Veneto and Friuli Venezia Giulia Science Committee.
