Val Jumela, Sella Brunec, sentiero Pederiva, val Contrin

Fantastic tour with cycloalpine section, fantastic views. Departure from Pozza di Fassa on the very hard dirt road of Val Jumela to sella Brunech from slopes often over 20% .

View towards the Catinaccio

View toward Piz Boè.

Now follow the Pederiva trail to the San Nicolò pass refuge. For those who, like me, have heavy ebikes, very hard uphill section to the first peak, it doesn't take long but it is a lot of effort on narrow and steep trail, then less for the second peak where you can see the refuge in the distance. From here on the sentieo improves and the pedalable sections begin, some safety iron ropes but you continue well and start to descend. At a vantage point you can see the Marmolada.

Now the path is all pedalable and you get to the refuge, from sella Brunch to the refuge I took 1h30 including stops to rest and take pictures, the view is always fantastic. Now long descent to the Contrin refuge, almost all in the saddle.

From the refuge follow the dirt road to Alba then Canazei and Pozza di Fassa. For those , like me, who have a heavy bike, it is tiring but very satisfying, I recommend the ride early in the morning, the Pederiva trail is quite busy and often narrow.
