Colmean: Alpine Trails, Cima d’Auta and Culture in Canale d’Agordo

Colmean as a Starting Point for Alpine Trails

Colmean is a clear starting point if you would like to include trails and high-altitude destinations around the Cime d’Auta in your travel plans. The Cime d’Auta–Col Becher hike begins in Colmean. The Paolin-Piccolin via ferrata leads to the Cima d’Auta orientale at an altitude of 2,624 metres. Its descent follows the secured Attilio Bortoli route. If you are planning the Paolin-Piccolin via ferrata, you can note the ascent to Cima d’Auta orientale and the descent via Attilio Bortoli as separate sections.

Hiking between Forest, Pass and Summit Heights

The Cime d’Auta–Col Becher hike is 11 kilometres long and rated E/EE. The distance helps you fit the tour into your own daily schedule; the E/EE classification remains an independent part of the route details. Especially if you do not want to plan your holiday days exclusively around a single excursion, such clear key figures provide an objective basis for preparation.

At the Col Becher Pass, at an altitude of 2,312 metres, 360-degree panoramas open up. The Baita dei Cacciatori is located at an altitude of 1,751 metres at the foot of Cime d’Auta. It is about one hour’s walk from Colmean and can only be reached on foot or by mountain bike. Elevation figures and the type of access therefore give you concrete guidance when fitting different mountain destinations into your travel programme.

The Route to Baita dei Cacciatori
