Armed with our 3 day Gardena cards (great value if you will use multiple lifts), we dedicated the better part of a day for this hike while based in Ortisei. We were rewarded with one of our most memorable walking/hiking experiences in the Val Gardena. The broad route went like this : the Seceda lift up from Ortisei, loop around Pieralongia, return to St Christina via Col Raiser and the bus (free, we had complementary mobility passes from our hotel) back to Ortisei. As we arrived at the Seceda summit station, we first walked in the direction of Rifugio Troier– the views of the mountain ridge (Fermeda) and the valley below were terrific. We then headed onwards to Pieralongia, and enjoyed the glorious setting with the famous twin rock spires and the company of friendly donkeys grazing nearby! We then passed around Lech da Iman and headed to Rifugio Firenze. After a sort rest and refreshment break, we continued to the Baita Odles (many farm animals on site) and then took the Col Raiser lift back to St Christina after a brief rest at the Col Raiser station/restaurant. Our most memorable day in the Dolomites!

Starting at the Passo Sella Hotel you can either go toward Refugio Comici and then around north to west Sassoluongo to Langkofelhütte and from there up the pass to Demez Hütte in about 5 to 5.5 hours (up about 1000 m = 3000 ft total height of hike) through a beautiful countryside, always very close to the Sassolungo massiv. From there either down with the cable car or hike down, with is steep and will add another hours. The same hike can be done in the opposite direction.

These so called “Coffin Lifts’ are a MUST experience if ever in the Valgardena, Passo Sella area in the Dolomites! The previous reviewers are spot on with their descriptions. These two person max, coffin-like pod lifts that take you to the top of Passo Sella are literally out of this world! Crazy!!!! What an adrenaline rush. Getting on and off is serious business as these small pods circle around, a door slides open and two guys at the bottom literally pick you up and shove you in! And you had better be quick and organized if two of you are jumping aboard. These babies don’t slow down for you. The ride to the top is not only an experience of a life time as the coffin lifts squeak and sway with the wind. There’s no sitting down and two people are in each other face with no where to move. The beauty that surrounds you is unbelievable!!! When you finally make it to the top, get ready, two guys are awaiting you to literally catch you as the door slides open for a brief moment and you jump out into their arms! Wowza!!!! If considering this area, you MUST GO and experience this!!!!!
