Ski mountaineering itinerary: Erte Ascent

A panoramic ascent-only route that starts from the Nevegal square and leads to the Rifugio Brigata Alpina Cadore, crossing sparse woodland, snowy clearings and the charming Casera Erte at 1,400 metres. It’s an ideal itinerary for those seeking a steady, never extreme climb immersed in the quiet atmosphere of the Faverghera slopes.

From the ski school lodge, a small road heads past the beginner area and a few houses. Once you reach a clearing, the track enters the forest and climbs a steeper slope until it meets a forest road. Continue leftwards to about 1,170 metres, where you reach the connecting ski run. After crossing it, the ascent continues through the woods until you join forest trail no. 5 and reach the panoramic Casera Erte.

From here, two options are available:

  • More demanding variant: leave the trail and climb a steeper slope with about 80 metres of elevation gain.
  • Easier option: follow the forest road to the Erte ski run, where a marked path leads back into the woods.

Both routes lead to an open slope, the final stretch to overcome before reaching the Rifugio Brigata Alpina Cadore, a natural balcony overlooking the Belluno Dolomites.
