A ski mountaineering itinerary ideal for those seeking a panoramic, safe ascent immersed in the nature of the Nevegal. The Vallavia is a classic line of the area: an uphill‑only route that crosses spruce forests, karst valleys and gentle slopes, eventually reaching the scenic Rifugio Brigata Alpina Cadore, a natural balcony over the Belluno Prealps.
Route
The tour starts from the Nevegal square, where you follow the track located between the Coca ski slope and the road leading to Faverghera. The gentle initial climb brings you to the entrance of the characteristic karst valley of Vallavia, a natural corridor that you follow up to a small rise.
Here you turn right and immediately back left, entering an evocative spruce forest. The ascent continues steadily until you reach the CAI forest trail no. 5, which leads toward Casera Erte.
Continue along the trail, cross a small valley, then turn right into a denser forest. Once you exit the woods, around 1550 metres, you meet the path of the Botanical Garden, in a more open and bright environment.
A little higher you reach the area of the Faverghera 2 ski lift. From here, follow the Praloz track, which descends slightly toward the lower part of the Faverghera slope. After passing the ski‑lift arrival point, turn right near Casera Faverghera, then traverse the eastern side of Monte Faverghera.
The final stretch climbs gently up the valley leading to the Rifugio Brigata Alpina Cadore, the destination of the itinerary and an ideal spot for a panoramic break.
