Description of the hike

We chose this trek as a relaxing hike after previous strenuous ascents in the previous days. And it met our expectations to the letter. We drove to the Passo di Rolle saddle to the parking lot. From the saddle we set off along the marked trail heading south. At the beginning the road is very wide, gradually it turns into a mountain trail. (photo) The landscape around is beautiful, meadows, rocks and also full of small mountain balls. On the way we passed a ski lift. Around the lake Cavallazza (photo) we reached the mountain Cavallazza 2 326 m above sea level without any problems. The views from here are really beautiful, especially the landscape between the Passo di Rolle and the Marmolada mountain, which is not so rocky anymore.

After resting on the summit we started to return. At the beginning we followed the same path, but after about 1 km we made a detour to the Tognazza mountain 2 207 m above sea level (photo) This mountain is actually an outcrop of a rocky fault that falls deep into the valley. We then returned to the trail and returned to the car park.

 

Difficulty

A comfortable hike in the vicinity of the Passo di Rolle mountain saddle. It is more of a walk, during which we climbed two smaller peaks. However, the views are spectacular even from here. Technically and physically very easy, suitable for families with children.
 

Water availability

Due to the length of the trip we had all the water with us (1 liter per person was enough). However, it is possible to collect water from streams along the way.
 

Mountain peaks

On the way we climbed the peaks of Cavallazza 2 324 m above sea level and Tognazza 2 209 m above sea level. During the journey there are beautiful views of the surrounding mountain peaks, especially the Pala group with the peak of Cimon della Pala. It is also visible to the north the maisv of the Marmolada mountain.
 

Danger

There is no dangerous place on the route. The whole time you walk along a wide mountain path. Even the climb up Mount Cavallaza is completely uneventful.

Equipment

For this trip, you only need the classic mountain equipment. Although the trail is really easy, I still recommend high ankle boots. A rain jacket is a must in the mountains.

 

Food

At the beginning or end of the trek in the Passo di Rolle, you can easily eat in the restaurants. There is no hut during the trek, but the trek is very short.
 

Attractions

This trek is very easy. Even small children can do it. And the views and scenery along the way are beautiful. There is also a mountain lake. The view of the mass of rocks of the Pala group is unbeatable.
