About this place

Seceda's ridge drops away in a wave of jagged teeth — the most photographed line in the Dolomites — and the path along the top is broad, grassy and mercifully flat. Wander as far as the Pieralongia rocks, picnic among belled cows, descend by lift. It's the biggest scenery-per-step return in the Alps.
