Away from the crowded Dolomites, a real hiking adventure that in 4 days touches the refuges Giaf, Pacherini, Pordenone, and Padova, crossing at altitude the wonderful and wild valleys hidden among the groups of Pramaggiore, Monfalconi, Spalti di Toro and Cridola, with numerous possibilities for variations, with different difficulty and effort levels, and also with the possibility of mountaineering ascents on spires and peaks. The loop is done over several days, depending on personal ability and the number of stops. Here the classic itinerary of four days in four stages is proposed, one for each refuge, to be reached in clockwise direction, so as to avoid too many steep climbs. The loop allows you to fully enjoy the uncontaminated panorama.
FIRST STAGE from Refuge Giaf to Refuge Flaiban - Pacherini: 12 km. Ascent: 1000 m. Estimated time: 6 hours
SECOND STAGE from Refuge Flaiban - Pacherini to Refuge Pordenone: 8 km. Ascent: 500 m. Estimated time: 4 hours
THIRD STAGE from Refuge Pordenone to Refuge Padova: 8 km. Ascent: 700 m. Estimated time: 5 hours
FOURTH STAGE from Refuge Padova to Refuge Giaf: 8 km. Ascent: 700 m. Estimated time: 4 hours
Author’s recommendation
The first step to take, after deciding the dates for this adventure, is to contact the 4 refuges to book the various nights, specifying on which date you intend to sleep in each refuge. Usually, a half-board treatment is chosen, which includes dinner, overnight stay, and breakfast; on request, it is also possible to have a package for the lunch of the following day.

Equipment
The requirements are some training before departure, some attention in the most risky points, and a good dose of adventurous spirit. No special equipment is therefore needed, but only some details to know: from three to six hours of walking each day and from 500 to 1100 meters of ascent daily.
