Mount San Daniele from S.la dei Pradetti (CAI-165)
.165 We begin our climb from the S.la dei Pradetti, to whom we came from M.Zovo, or from F.la Zovo via forestal street with CAI-154 signpost. On the hairpin bend at the share of 1757 m a.s.l. We leave the road to gravel and take the path on the left, which enters a fir forest along the ridge of the Colle dei Pradetti. You go up to the sweetly up to about 1820 m a.s.l., where we begin to climb along the M.S.Daniele; Here you exit the woods and the slope is felt more. The track is well marked and rises on the north side of the M.San Daniele, under us there is the Valle di Giao Storto and the C.de dei Longerin stand out in front. After a few hairpin bends, the meadows also leave us and we find ourselves having to climb, oriented towards the south, a steep and yielding frost. We meet a little effort to go beyond it because of its slope and frinos. After about 20 meters we are at the top ‘Under Croda’ and our way proceeds north.
After a short stretch of crossed of other small gravels, you are at the perhaps most difficult point of the climb as the path is not clearly visible and, despite being equipped with a signpost, you cannot understand how to go on. Above us we see the Stones of the M.San Daniele and under a valley with a high slope; The ground is gravelly and this does not help the stability and, used to as we are going up, we don’t think of that every now and then we must also go down. In fact, this time it is precisely what you have to do to resume the path behind a rock placed a few meters more at the bottom. After this step, a little difficult for the less experienced, it is up to the share of 2073 m a.s.l. of Forcella San Daniele.
Here you can dwell for a small break and admire the panorama. In Front of Us: Monte Zovo, The Col Rosson and Behind the Whole Group of Popera.
cstm Before passing the fork that leads to the Piani di Vissada, we turn 90° and oriented towards the south, we slightly climb the crest of the mountain on the Val Vissada side. After passing the first small scree that climbs, we continue, among the mountain pines, a few more tens of meters. The path without official trail signs is marked by stone cairns, now climbs to the right, steep, until it reaches the ridge and then continues on the other side for gravel.
Si oltrepassano salendo i ghiaioni che danno sulla Valle di giao Storto aiutati da alcune corde metalliche installate da poco. Sempre orientati verso Sud, procediamo su sentiero sassoso e non piu’ impegntivo, fino a giungere ad un piccolo altipiano sottocima. Ora girando di 90° verso Est, affrontiamo l’ultima salita che conduce alla vetta facendo attenzione alla pendenza che si fa’ piu’ impegnativa
.Considerations This route has a positive elevation of 472 m, a distance of 2.2 Km and a walking time of 1h and 30 Min. The CAI-165 route, from M.Zovo to Top of San Daniele offers an excellent view of the area. The final stretch without trail signs must be undertaken with a little care in order not to lose the way. The descent can be made along the CAI-169 trail in the direction F.la Zovo, which therefore allows us to make a ring that is certainly very pleasant from a landscape point of view, because it allows us to admire all the valleys surrounding the Val Vissada, and precisely: the Val Digon, the Val di Londo and the Val Visdende. The difficulty is EE due to the barely visible path, both during the ascent to the top and also in the passage before arriving at the Forcella San Daniele, along the screes of M. San Daniele.
.water The absence of veins of water characterizes the entire journey, therefore you will need to stock up before leaving.
.bike The whole journey cannot be covered by bicycle.
.dog The whole excursion can be accompanied by a dog or more, provided that the animal is accustomed to the altitude and knows how to behave on high mountain paths in the presence of rolling stones. Alternatively, you must proceed with a leash. Generally there are no passages that can put four-legged animals in difficulty.
.shelter The area crossed by the paths in question does not present any shelter, but nearby they are present. We have the Bivouac of Vissada and the Grotta-Fortino in F.la Longerin.
