The trail develops with no great difference in altitude and in a wonderful scenery: down below is the Fedaia lake, dominated by the imposing Marmolada glacier. Once reached the hut Fedarola, the path leads downhill to Pordoi Pass (2239 mt), from where it is possible to get a bus back to Arabba or is also possible to take the chair-lift and than you have to walk for the last 15 minutes back to Arabba.
