Although the skiarea Marmolada does not belongs to the skiareas of Fassa Valley, we can consider it linkt to the valley because of its history. The Marmolada lies in the eastern part of Fassa Valley, on the boundary with Veneto. Unfortunately this area can not be reached directly by skiing from Fassa Valley (only by car through Fedaia Pass); otherwise you can reach the area from Arabba through Padon Pass or from Malga Ciapela.  

Malga Ciapela - Punta Rocca - Fedaia Pass  MEDIUM  

START: 3252m   END: 2060m

Through three stretches of the modern cableway of Malga Ciapela you can reach in around 15 minutes the top of the Marmolada di Rocca (3252m). After the first station of Banc de Antermuoa (2300m), that drops sheer to Malga Ciapela, the second part leads to Refuge Serauta (2950m), where the famous Museum of the First World War was built. The last stretch crosses the highest part of the Glacier of Marmolada until Punta Rocca. Here starts the long slope, called Bellunese, that leads until Fedaia Pass. In the first part, a long straight stretch with some changes of incline, crosses the glacier until the little ridge where the Refuge Serauta lies. After the higher station of an old wood skilift, the slope turns left and the incline becomes a little seeper. Sometimes the track is rather narrow and a few changes of incline could make the discent more difficult. After the higher station of the chair-lift from Fedaia Pass, the track continues on the left, along the slopes of the Sas da les Undesc, with a few steeper stretches. In the final part you have to face another norrow passage, but you're near to the end: you can see the Refuge Passo Fedaia (2060m), where the slope is linked to the one coming from Padon Pass, in direction of Malga Ciapela.

Pian dei Fiacconi   MEDIUM  

START: 2626m  END: 2074m

The old cableway of Fedaia Pass, starting near the damm, climbes the northern side of the Marmolada until the Refuge Pian dei Fiacconi. The lift is very slow, around 20 minutes. Near the refuge starts the slope, that with some sharp bends comes back to the damm; the incline is not so steep, except brief stretches in the final part.
