Setting off from Rifugio Boè, a rocky traverse leads across the plateau beneath Piz Boè to reach the edge of the Sella group at Forcella Pordoi. From here, a steep scree descent (or the cable car!) leads down to the road at Passo Pordoi, where the trail reascends to traverse a grassy ridge opposite the Marmolada, at 3,343m the
highest peak in the Dolomites and the site of the only significant glacier in the area. We drop to Passo Fedaia, at the foot of the Marmolada, walking down from here to the village of Malga Ciapela for the night.
