The shuttle bus takes us from S. Vigilio di Marebbe to the Valle di Tamores to the Rif. Pederü. This is where our hiking tour, leading to a completely different world, starts. The path winds up along a funnel-shaped cone of Dolomite stones and takes us to a high-valley that is covered by mountain pines. A little more comfortable, the path proceeds to the meadows of the Pices Fanes pasture.
A fairytale-landscape with meandering rivers in the middle of the high moor and the light stones of the Dolomite rocks accompany us to the Lavarella mountain hut. A natural, gigantic amphitheatre, the strata of which consist of Dolomite rocks, surrounds us. It is the parliament of marmots (Parlament der Murmeltiere in German), to make the beautiful landscape even more impressive. We continue to the Passo Limo, passing by the Lé Vert and the Rif. Fanes. This is where we can fully enjoy the beauty of the natural landscape. Of course there are also marmots calling. We proceed further up, until we reach the Passo Limo at 2,170 m asl. This is where also Lake Limo is located, striking above all due to its yellow-green colours and its location right under the Col Bechei.
The first walk down follows, leading to the Malga Gran Fanes. As it is midday, we have lunch in this mountain hut. The landscape surrounding us at the watershed to the Piave is not less impressive than the scenery of this morning. Via the path no. 11 we prodeed to Sciaré at San Cassiano, taking a short but rough path and a longer, almost flat path. In Sarè we get on the bus, taking us back to the municipality of Marebbe.
