Description: from Piaz de Ciampedel walk up Strèda de Ruf and Strèda de Salin. Reach the outskirts of the village walking along the brook "Ruf Duron". You will get to a small parking space. Once you cross the bridge, the path becomes immediately very steep. Keep the right of the forest road, which is closed to the traffic, and face the hard 50 m uphill stretch (average gradient of 24%). After this first part, the road ascends continuously but more gently until Micheluzzi Refuge. In order to (at least partially) avoid the dust clouds caused by the shuttle in service during the summer, once you reach the restaurant Baita Fraines in the area of "Pozates", leave the forest road and take the path on the left leading in a thick fir wood, which is very steep in some parts. You will reach a clearing equipped with picnic benches and tables. Cross the brook and join the road ascending from Campitello, just below Micheluzzi Refuge. Once you reach the refuge, the valley will suddenly open up to a marvelous view. After this point, the paths unwinds gently across the green meadows of Val Duron. Passing close to Baita Lino Brach Refuge, keep on walking on a dirt road at the feet of Catinaccio to the south and Sassopiatto to the north. Once you get to the end of the valley, the path ascends again with large turns up to the Duron Pass/Refuge Alpe di Tires. You will see the so called "Denti di Terrarossa" peaks right in front of you.
In order to avoid the very steep first part of the walk, you can ascend to the hamlet of "Pian". At a very short distance from Piaz de Ciampedel, right at the connection between Strèda de Salin and Strèda de Sènc Felip e Giacum, turn right and take Strèda de Col to reach the hamlet (as an alternative you can follow the itinerary of Way of the Cross). Cross the ancient tiny village and keep walking on a broad and well-marked dirt road, until you get to a bridge. Cross it and join the road ascending from Campitello.
The walk is suited to strollers ONLY if you start from Micheluzzi Refuge.
