The hike starts at Lago Pianozes, that can be easily reached by car along the narrow paved forest road that from Campo village ascends toward Malga Federa.

Park the car at Chalet Lago Pianozes, a great rest stop, especially loved by children who can play around the lake.

On the opposite shore of the lake an enchanting trail, with gentle ups and downs, runs through the forest above the Boite water course. Cross the bridge over the last stretch of Ru de Federa and leisurely continue for 1 km. On your right, you will see a sheltered panoramic viewpoint over the Boite riverbed. From this point, right above the Socol village, we suggest returning to Pianozes along the same way. Those who want to walk farther on may descend as low as the river bed and even continue along the picturesque forest road toward San Vito di Cadore, all along the water course.

Medio: Itinerari su sentieri od evidenti tracce in terreno di vario genere (pascoli, detriti, pietraie…). Sono generalmente segnalati con vernice od ometti (pietre impilate a forma piramidale che permettono di individuare il percorso anche da lontano). Richiedono una sufficiente capacità di orientamento, allenamento alla camminata anche per qualche ora.

Difficile: Si tratta di itinerari generalmente segnalati, ma che implicano la capacità di muoversi su terreni particolari. Sentieri e tracce si trovano su terreni impervio e infido a quote relativamente elevate.

Intenso: Itinerari generalmente segnalati ma con qualche difficoltà: il terreno può essere costituito da pendii scivolosi di erba, misti di rocce ed erba, pietraie, lievi pendii innevati o anche singoli passaggi rocciosi di facile arrampicata (uso delle mani in alcuni punti).
