The sources of Marmolada glacier

Description

Set off on an exciting full-day hike to discover the hidden springs of the Marmolada glacier, in the heart of one of the most fascinating environments in the Dolomites.

Starting from Pian Trevisan, we will follow the scenic Sentiero dei Russi, a panoramic trail that will lead us through spectacular alpine landscapes in search of a hidden and surprising place: the glacier’s springs. These reveal themselves in striking potholes carved into the rock by the millennia-long action of ice. Within these natural cavities, crystal-clear pools of water collect, fed by small streams flowing among the rocks, creating an intimate, wild, and incredibly scenic environment. We will then reach Lake Fedaia, at the foot of the Queen of the Dolomites.

Here, we will enjoy a well-deserved lunch break while admiring the magnificent view of the glacier. After some relaxation, we will resume our hike by descending along the other side of the valley, completing a fascinating circular route immersed in nature and the grand scenery of the Dolomites.
