Between San Candido and Sesto you can find a free car park right in front of the bus stop "bivio Val Campo di Dentro", the starting point of our winter hike. The initial part of the itinerary runs slightly uphill along a forest road. After a 15-minute-walk we reach another small car park from where you could start your hike too.
We follow the sledge run which starts after the car park for a short section where you need to watch out for sledders. The path then branches off and crosses the sledge run only occasionally. Winter hikers can enjoy the snowy landscape towered by the impressive peaks of the Dolomites in all its facets: on our left the Tre Scarperi hut, on the right the Rocca dei Baranci (Haunold in German) and the Croda dei Baranci (Birkenkofel). After another hour we reach the rifugio Tre Scarperi mountain hut at 1,626 m. Here we warm ourselves up with a hot drink and taste the delicious, home-made desserts. After our break we rent some sledges to return to the valley.
You can leave the sledges at the rear car park. From there it takes you 15 minutes to return to the starting point which is reachable thanks to an access road.
