Starting from Pieve di Cadore, a short ascent leads to the charming hamlet of Pozzale, the ideal gateway to explore the southern slopes of Mount Antelao. From here, you can follow the Costanuda Trail no. 253, which climbs steadily toward the panoramic Forcella Antracisa, or choose the wider Monte TrĂ nego forest road, also heading to the same saddle and perfect for those who prefer an easier approach.
Once at Forcella Antracisa, the route continues along a scenic mule track that crosses the slopes beneath Col de San Dionisio. A redâandâwhite waymark without a number guides the path, while a short detour leads to the small alpine chapel dedicated to the saint, a natural viewpoint overlooking the Cadore Dolomites. Following Trail no. 251, the itinerary reaches the traditional Costapiana barns and finally the peaceful and welcoming Rifugio Costapiana, surrounded by authentic mountain scenery.
Recommended from June to October, this hike unfolds along wellâdefined mule tracks and marked trails, offering a relaxing and panoramic experience through forests, clearings, and beautiful views of the Dolomite peaks.
