Ciampedie Tour

Winter walk at Ciampedie

Take the cable car from Vigo to reach Ciampedie (1,998 m) in just a few minutes - a sunny plateau with spectacular views of the Fassa Dolomites. The circular route winds around the beginners' area and through the Re Laurino woods. From the cable car station, head towards the children's playground and follow the path to the left of the Kinderpark, signposted as the Animal Trail. At the first fork, keep left - this is the same path that leads to Gardeccia. At the next junction, turn right and follow the gently descending trail alongside the Baby slope. You'll pass behind the chairlift's lower station before climbing the slope on the opposite side.

Several mountain huts and refreshment points are available in the area.

Periodic maintenance and inspection of the trails will be provided, especially after snowfall. It is recommended to always pay close attention to the type of terrain, as icy and slippery sections cannot be ruled out. It is also recommended to always be properly equipped. Walking times are approximate only, and it is important to consider that walking on snow is much more strenuous than walking without it.
Groomed trail: snowshoes optional.

1. Plan your excursion in advance according to your abilities, the weather, the characteristics and conditions of the itinerary, and the risk of avalanches. 

2. Inform someone about your planned itinerary, return time and possible changes.

3. Plan your outings with others and, when possible, rely on a mountain professional.

4. Bring avalanche rescue equipment (beacon, shovel and probe) with you, practise using it regularly and do a group test before setting off.

5. Make sure you have suitable clothing and equipment (poles, crampons, water, snacks, etc.). 

6. Always keep your pet on a leash.

7. Constantly and carefully assess the conditions of the route and your mental, physical and technical abilities. If in doubt, turn back.

8. Do not cross ski slopes, either downhill or cross-country.

9. Respect the environment around you and take your rubbish back down to the valley.

10. Help those in need. In case of real need and for emergencies, call 112.
