Piz Boè, towering at 3,152 metres, is the highest peak in the Sella massif of the Dolomites. Known for its accessibility among 3,000-metre peaks, it offers both seasoned trekkers and casual hikers a rare opportunity to experience dramatic alpine landscapes. Its prominence within the UNESCO-listed Dolomites makes it a key feature of Salamander Adventures’ Dolomites Guided Traverse.
The Sella massif, including Piz Boè, showcases a rugged geological history with limestone cliffs and unique formations. Historically, it holds remnants from World War I, such as military paths and shelters, providing a glimpse into its strategic significance. The Capanna Piz Fassa mountain hut, perched at the summit, offers a resting point and views of neighbouring peaks like Marmolada and Tofana di Mezzo.
Trekkers on the Dolomites Guided Traverse can ascend Piz Boè via cable cars from Passo Pordoi or hike through the Sella Plateau. From the summit, hikers are rewarded with panoramic views of the Dolomites, expansive alpine meadows, and surrounding valleys. The Capanna Piz Fassa offers basic refreshments, enhancing the experience at this high-altitude point.
