- Pay attention to signposts and directions that you find along your way
- Do not hesitate in going back if you feel too tired

Please note that the practicability of the itineraries in a mountain environment is strictly linked to the contingent conditions and is therefore influenced by natural phenomena, environmental changes and weather conditions. For this reason, the information contained in this page may have changed. Before leaving for a tour, make sure the path you will approach is still accessible by contacting the owner of the mountain hut, the alpine guides or the visitor centres of the nature parks, the info offices of the local tourist board.

Start
Destination
Turn-by-turn directions
Take the "Latemar MontagnAnimata" lifts (open mid-June to mid-September) to the Passo Feudo.
From the top of the chair-lift, descend the slope to the shrine.
This is the point of departure for a trail leading around Dos Capèl with strategically placed panels providing walkers with information on the origin of the mountains.
The trail leads through fascinating landscape (with views of some of the most beautiful mountains in the whole Alps, from Latemar to Marmolada to the Pala group and the Lagorai chain, and finally to the snow-capped peaks of the Tyrol to the north).
The panels placed along the way give a gradual introduction to the events and changes that created the fantastic universe of the Dolomites.
From the pass the path winds around the Dos Capèl with small changes in altitude and plenty of resting places.
The highest point is reached at 2.266 metres.
