Piz Boè is the highest mountain in the Sella Group, the hearth of Dolomites! From this peak it is possible to admire wonderful mountains like Fanes group, Tofane, Sorapiss, Antelao, Pelmo, Marmolada, Catinaccio and Latemar.

On the peak is situated a small refuge (Capanna Piz Fassa) open during the summer time.

The walk to the peak starts from Passo di Pordoi (2240m), where a cable car takes you to the Sass Pordoi (2950m).

From here you walk across the Plateau before the steep climb to the summit. Looking across the plateau you see a barren landscpape with occassional breaks giving glimpses of the green valleys below. There were many interesting rock formations and structures across the Plateau.

When you descend, the Civetta group and the mighty Marmolada (3343m), the highest of the Dolomite peaks with the largest glaciers in the area, dominate the view to the south.
