Ascent to Piz Boé

The starting point is relatively high – in the Pordoi Pass. From here you can see the upper station of the cable car at the top of Sasso Pordoi. Our ascent route leads along the green meadows in the direction of a distinctive „hole“ in the Sella massif

You are slowly approaching your own massif and the walls rise above you like massive walls

As the altitude meters increase, the view of the starting point of the hike in Passo Pordoi opens up nicely. The horizon is closed by the highest mountain in the Dolomites – Marmolada

The rubble, which fell out of the pass as just a small section of the ascent, has more than 250 meters of altitude

You are pumping on the slope and the cable car cabins are „flying“ next to you

Below you are endless zigzags along which you climb the rubble. Passo Pordoi is almost lost at the bottom

You only have the last meters to the cottage Rifugio Forcella Pordoi, where it is always very busy, thanks to the descent from the cable car from the top of Sasso Pordoi

Now you are in a completely different world. In front of you is the lunar world of the Sella massif furrowed by massive valleys.

In front of us is the goal of this tour – Piz Boé. It rises like a lighthouse over an inanimate plateau of the massif

The normal leads to the left in the direction of Rifugio Boé. To the right is the path connected to the ferrata

The normal walks around a massive rock cliff. The peak with the Rifugio Capanna Fassa cottage seems to be within easy reach, but still so far away.

Just in front of the Rifugio Boé cottage there is a gorge in the cliff and the path leads straight up the rubble.

When ascending, a beautiful view opens to the other side

The ascent path between the stones is not very pleasant. From the top you can see all your way through the lunar landscape of the Sella massif

In better weather, the peak offers absolutely great views. For the worse, at least dramatic :-)

More than 1,500 meters below you, the famous town of Arabba lies deep in the valley. You can go back the same way or make it easier to go down the cable car with Sasso Pordoi
