An amazing, panoramic ski mountaineering itinerary that combines the ascents of three mountain passes on Fanis Sud Massif: Forcella del Quaire, Forcella del Mortaio and Forcella Grande.

This itinerary can be completed in just one day, The ascents are never too long and the descents are perfect, from the slopes it is possible to see the most beautiful peaks of the Fanis-Lagazuoi mountain group.

This itinerary can be almost described as a ski mountaineering high route, as it goes through different natural environments ascending the peak, stretches out on different rock faces which have different exposure, and is surrounded by the pinnacles and summits of the high, majestic Tofane and the deep Val Travenanzes.
