Five are the main international paths that cross the eight countries of the Alpine Europe, from Trieste to the Principality of Monaco. One of these paths (the yellow route) also passes through the Val di Fassa territory, exploiting already existing paths which do not present any particular difficulty. The Val di Fassa includes four stages which cross areas of outstanding natural beauty overlooked by the imposing and majestic Sella, Marmolada and Catinaccio Dolomite massifs. Numerous are the mountain refuges that ensure adeguate assistance along the stages.
