Cima Zeledria
A hike of around 2 hours on the Rhaetian Alps side, ideal for those with mountaineering experience
Summary of the route
A walk on the slopes of the Rhaetian Alps, offering a splendid view of the Dolomites. This hike is marked by crosses on the map; it is in fact a secured path, the first step towards the via ferrata.
It is an exposed ridge path that does not present any particular technical difficulties but requires a basic level of mountaineering ability.
The departure point is the Pradalago cable car station, near our hotel
The start of the trail is located just behind the top station of the Pradalago cable car, near the Hotel Touring.
The first few metres are on compacted earth and wind their way along the mountain’s saddle, following gentle hairpin bends; although the route is exposed in this initial section, it does not present any particular danger.
However, the climb is noticeable: starting at an altitude of 2,110 metres, it ends at the summit of the peak at an altitude of 2,427 metres.
An easy climb, a superb view
The climb is steady over easy terrain; the only difficulties are a ladder on a granite slab and a few safety ropes near some gullies that run directly down from the summit to Lake Nambino.
The view is superb and incredibly varied: from the small clearing on the summit, you can admire the Brenta Dolomites for tens of kilometres, from Sasso Rosso to the summit of Valon.
Leave your message in the summit logbook
The hike ends at a small clearing with the Italian flag flying in the centre, at an altitude of 2,427 metres above sea level. At the base of the flagpole is a metal box containing the summit logbook, in which hikers can record their experiences in the mountains of Trentino.
You can return by completing the loop via the Giro Dei Tre Laghi, but this time we recommend retracing your steps for a few metres and turning left towards Lake Pradalago. Heading in this direction, you will reach the Viviani Mountain Hut in about an hour, near the cable car’s top station.
