Beautiful hike entirely on a forest road. Starting from the Monte Pana car park (cost €7) and ups and downs to Saltria below the Sassolungo Group on the Alpe di Siusi plateau. Fantastic scenery, Top refreshment points! Possibility to go far and wide across the entire plateau and then return to the car park.

Very beautiful mountain route! Unfortunately, when I was there (on a Tuesday before 9:00 AM), there was incredibly heavy traffic. Probably because no car traffic is allowed between 9:00 AM and 5:00 PM...

September 22, 2025, Seceda Summit

The Seceda summit is probably the most crowded mountain in the Dolomites these days... You should arrive before 8 a.m., because the first cable car takes you up at 8:00 or 8:30 a.m. Before that, you'll have peace and quiet, but afterward, it gets very busy and crowded. Those arriving on foot are best advised to take the ascent from Selva or the Cristauta parking lot... Once you get to the top, most people aren't interested in the Seceda itself. Because everything revolves around the view from the Seceda to the Odle Group... Although the panoramic view from the Seceda summit itself is certainly not to be sniffed at: you get a fantastic panoramic view. As of September 2025, there's a turnstile at one of the entrances to the Seceda with a €5 entrance fee, but you can avoid this!
