Experience Highlights & Details
This sunset hike begins at Parcheggio Brasolas in San Vito di Cadore, following the Alta Via 3 along the ski slopes toward Rifugio Scotter. The ascent offers open views of Antelao — one of the highest peaks in the Eastern Dolomites — and the Sorapiss group across the valley.
Along the way, a short off‑trail detour allows the group to explore different alpine ecosystems, from dense forest to high‑altitude meadows and rocky terrain.
Upon reaching Rifugio Scotter, the group enjoys a traditional mountain dinner featuring local dishes and a warm alpine atmosphere. As the sun sets behind the surrounding peaks, the landscape transforms into one of the most evocative evening panoramas in the Cadore area.
The descent follows “La Rota”, a forest path illuminated by moonlight and headlamps, creating a peaceful and immersive night‑time experience.
