Seceda, Dolomites - Hiking Guide | Col Raiser, Forcella

In this video we take the cable car from Ortisei up to Seceda station. We purchased a 3 day pass (Gardena card) which provided us unlimited access to all of the cable cars in the Gardena valley.
At the summit we walked closer to take in the epic views, and headed down the valley to see more of the incredible scenery that this beautiful region had to offer.

My husband and I can't wait to do this hike during our honeymoon in the Dolomites, it looks epic. I don't see the alltrails link in the description, do you mind linking it again?

[@trailtalestravel]

Sorry about that, I’ve added it to the description for you.

I can use some help planing my trip. I am planning to go to Seceda on May 23rd. It looks like most of the cable cars will not be in service except for Col Raiser. Any idea how long is the hike from the Col Raiser cable car arrival station to Seceda? I will arrive in the early afternoon so I am worried about not making it back in time for the last cable car at 5 pm. Thank you!

[@trailtalestravel]

The climb from col raiser station to the seceda station is 500m over 4km. It’s quite steep in places but should take about an hour.
This is the full loop we did, which took 3.5 hours.

[@zamielreza2090]

From which website do you know that col raiser is open in 23 rd may ? Because from what I read theyre open at 31st may

[@trailtalestravel]

I could not find it either. Everything says they open on may 31

[@zamielreza2090]

What do you recommend to visit seceda in mid may ? Thanks before

[@trailtalestravel]

The cable car does not operate until May 31st. If you want to visit seceda before then You will need to hike all the way up. There may still be snow and ice in places, check with the tourist information before you hike to see if the trails are even open.

[@zamielreza2090]

@@trailtalestravel thanks for your answer . Do you have the trail map for an easy hike to seceda ? I'll go there by a car

[@trailtalestravel]

If there are no cable cars running when you go this is likely your best bet:
Santa Cristina - Rifugio Firenze - Seceda on AllTrails
www.alltrails.com/en-gb/trail/italy/south-tyrol/santa-cristina-rifugio-firenze-seceda
But this is a much bigger hike than we did, over 1,000m of elevation gain if you don’t have the option to use the gondola.

[@zamielreza2090]

@@trailtalestravelyes , I'll see it if we can get through it , we are very amateur hiker too 😂. The last mountain we try is the blue crater of mount ijen in East Java . But I think seceda have more walkable trails .

[@trailtalestravel]

Best of luck, let us know how you get on!
