ALBA DI CANAZEI - CONTRIN REFUGE - CIRELLE PASS - FUCIADE - SAN PELLEGRINO PASS

High-level hikes

<p>From Alba (Dèlba) walk up to the Contrin refuge (path no. 602) (2,016 m; 2 hrs). Behind the refuge turn right onto trail no. 607. After passing a stream the route travels the long diagonal that reaches the plateau on the top of the Lastè de Contrin rocky bank. Here go left (to the right starts trail no. 609 for Pas Pasché) up the slopes of a group of glacier-rounded rocks that divide two small gorges. Continue walking along the ridge of the scree beds that line the base of majestic cliffs. Keep to the right along the bottom of the gorge until you reach a big rock plate.Here is the fork with path no. 612. Keep to the right and follow this track up to the Pas da le Cirele at 2,682 m (2 hrs 10; 4 hrs 10).Go down the other side into a valley called Val da la Tasćia. The path zigzags quickly down the first part and then the scree gradually gives way to high pasture from where, going down straight, you will reach the Fuciade refuge at 1,972 m (1 hour 20; 5 hrs 30).From here the white dirt road takes you through the valley with its wooden huts and barns and then through the forest to the Miralago hotel (50 mins; 6 hrs 20) with the lake nearby to the right.20 more minutes will bring you to the main road which you will need to follow to get to the San Pellegrino Pass (Pas de Sèn Pelegrin) (20 mins; 6 hrs 40) where the bus stop (Trentino Trasporti Bus Company) is in the first parking area to the right.</p> <p> </p>
