Ascent: 700 meters
Travel time: 3 hours
Departure takes place opposite the Cortina’s bus station. Equipped with bike, helmet and any accessories (water bottle, seat cover, repair kit, locker etc.), start the ride southbound on the cycling path. Passed the fascinating railway bridge, continue up to Cojana; here, at the junction with the road leading up to Baita Fraina, you will find yourself in the underlying Via delle Guide.
The road will then descend to village Salieto; pass the bridge on the Boite river then take the road that climbs to Lake Pianozes which is well worth a stop.
Continue further uphill to the next junction, after passing a challenging ramp, come out in a square after which the road is closed to traffic of vehicles with a bar. The road, still paved, winds up in forests for 5 km until you reach the pasture of Malga Federa. The last part of the climb, about 200 meters in front 'Becco di Mezzodì' mountain, is on dirt.
Receive a warm welcome from cows, calves and horses grazing. At the farm, Amedeo will be waiting for you with all the delicacies of his production: Speck first and then salami, cheese, porchetta and flavored vegetables in oil.
On the way back go down the same road for about 3 km up then, the more daring can take a left in the direction of 'Cason del Macaron', once at the 'Cason', you will continue to find the 'd’ Ajal', a lake hidden among thousands of fir trees.
Continue the descent for about 1 km and you will cross the fascinating wood of 'Volpera' caves. When in the village, the bell tower will guide you to the starting point.
