Skitour to Forcella Colfiedo

How to reach the starting point:

From Cortina, continue on the main road towards Dobbiaco, until you reach an old powder magazine not too far from the Cimabanche Pass (you can notice the building by seeing a wire mesh in front of it), where you can leave your car. 

A round trip surrounded by the charming landscape of Croda Rossa d’Ampezzo and its impressive rocky walls. 

For this trip you can leave your car a few kilometers before the Cimabanche Pass, close to the old powder magazine. 

Take the path n. 8, which will bring you inside the beautiful Val di Gotres, until you reach the plateau near the Forcella Lerosa saddle. Without reaching the saddle, head first north towards Castello di Valbones and then south, starting to climb up the couloir with an increasing slope gradient until you reach the top of Forcella Colfiedo. 

The descent shall be done skiing down the opposite east-faced couloir, on steep slopes at first, but gradually becoming more and more accessible. Once you have arrived at the end of the valley, ski down through the woods up to a stream, which you have to cross in order to make it back to the starting point.
