The Dolomites spread all the way to the wide and legendary Fanes Plateau. The wind and the atmospheric weather form the landscape. Ice water with its immense power splits rocks up to the point where they crack or break apart. Rain and snow are responsible for a multishaped karst landscape. The folds of the Parom mountain crest reveal the real power andforce of the movements, which were also responsible for the formation of the Alps.

The water of the Crippes route left deep grooves in the ground and as a resultof this, created a ravine. Pine trees grow predominantely on these steep hills. Where the water came to meet especially  tough ground, waterfalls were formed. Part of the water disappears into the lime rocks and continues its path underground. Before reaching the hunters hut Ciastlines you will pass the Crippes sources.

Many people live and fulfil moments of harmony and relaxation at this place. Our aim is to reach Sass dla Para. Once you enjoy the splendid view of the Ampezzo Dolomites (Cristallo, Sorapis, Tofane) that you have from Croda Rossa you will soon forget all the hardship of walking.

On the bears traces: Fanes-Conturines

Route: From Capanna Alpina (1,726 m) in directionn of the Malga di Fanes hut (route n° 11). After about 4 hours of walking through an area withouth paths and walking through scree you reach the cave (2,800 m).
In 1987 a grotto, with the skeleton of a cave-bear was found by an excursionist when walking through the Conturines area. This was the only discovery of this type in the Dolomites.
The cave-bear (Ursus spelaeus) became extinct 11,000 year ago at the end of the last ice age.
It lived off a vegetable diet in particular. This gives evidence of a milder climate, as a result of which the edge of the woods moved to greater heights.
