Description path 1/c: you can reach the Val San Nicolò by shuttle bus service from Pozza di Fassa. From the place called "Saùch" cut through the strip of trees on the left to reach the track known as "Strada di Rusci" or "The Path of the Russians". The name comes from the fact that it was Russian prisoners of war who built the road during WW1. The going is varied, but never steep, and the road is very well shaded all along the way. When you reach the waysign no. 641 for "Lagusel" Lake ("Lauscel") turn left and then cross the stream "Ruf de Sèn Nicolò" by way of a small bridge. Go into the woods to the left. You will descend slightly, cross an area of alluvial stones and then the bed of the "Giaf" stream, which can get dangerously big following summer thunderstorms. After a flat stretch you will join the dirt road which climbs up this last part of the valley. Turn left and go down to the Baita Ciampié Refuge (1,826 m), where you can get refreshments, and then follow the asphalt road all the way back to the shuttle bus stop (2 hrs).
The path is suited for trekking-strollers.
