Campitello Die Fassa between Val Duron and Col Rodella

Between Val Duron and Col Rodella

Campitello di Fassa lies at the entrance to Val Duron, which takes its name from the Rio Duron flowing through the village. The valley opens out into extensive meadows and flower-filled areas dotted with mountain huts, and is crossed by the Rio Duron. Val Duron is an ideal starting point for hikes towards Passo Duron. The first section from Campitello is closed to motorized traffic. From May to October, a minibus taxi service connects Strèda de Salin in Campitello with Rifugio Micheluzzi in Val Duron. When planning your route locally, it is important to clearly distinguish between the closed first section of the valley and the seasonal connection to Rifugio Micheluzzi.

Another connection is Trail No. 557: it leads from Sellapass via Sela Rodela to the former Seiseralpe hut.
