This route focuses on reaching a summit and descending via a secured trail, while the length and E/EE rating describe the Cime d’Auta–Col Becher hike. Check your equipment and trail conditions before setting out.

To Baita dei Cacciatori

Baita dei Cacciatori is at an elevation of 1,751 meters, at the foot of Cime d’Auta. The walk from Colmean takes about an hour; the hut is accessible only on foot or by mountain bike. Route No. 689 follows a forest road through the woods. After crossing the Cajada stream, the trail continues for about 15 minutes to the hut.

Seasonal trail conditions can affect the walking time, so the estimate of about an hour is a guideline for the route from Colmean. The stream crossing can also be affected by the weather. Check trail conditions before setting out.

The elevations also provide a point of comparison: Baita is at 1,751 meters, while Cima d’Auta orientale is at 2,624 meters. This lets you compare the hut’s location and the summit by elevation, independently of route length.

Culture in Canale d’Agordo

In Canale d’Agordo, the Via Crucis runs for about two kilometers from Piazza Papa Luciani to the village of Cavallera; there are fifteen bronze plaques along the way. The named endpoints and plaques give you a specific sense of the route. Both the approximate distance and the points of interest along the way are relevant when choosing this cultural route.

The MUSAL – Museo Albino Luciani in Canale d’Agordo – presents the life, education, and teachings of Albino Luciani. Unlike the Via Crucis and its bronze plaques, the museum focuses on Luciani’s life and work. Check the latest visitor information and opening arrangements before your visit, as they may change.

If you choose by route length, you can compare an 11-kilometer hike with the approximately two-kilometer Via Crucis. They offer different focuses: hiking and culture.
