Glaciological Trail Dosdè East

Leaving the car at the Altumeira parking lot, follow the silvo-pastoral road to the Altumeira chalets, taking trail No. 148 on the left to Alpe Dosdè and the Federico Valgoi refuge.

Reaching the refuge, the trail continues parallel to the stream until a fork where you must keep left following the red and white markings. Once past the waterfall, you reach a plateau at an elevation of 2350 m where you can observe the traces left by the East Dosdè glacier during the millennia up to the Little Ice Age.

From this point on, the red and white markers are replaced by plaques and boulder cairns, and the trail becomes less visible and, past a steep section, you arrive at the plaque relating to the location of the glacier front in 1932.

One crosses the stream and reaches a plateau at an elevation of 2500 m, where the glacier was located until the 1980s and where one finds, on a gneiss boulder, the measurement mark placed by I. Bellotti in 1953 about 20 m from the glacial front.

From here we ascend the slope to the right to the plaque marking the location of the glacial front in 1985

The trail continues to an elevation of 2600 m where the last panel is located and where the East Dosdè Glacier can be seen
