MONDEVAL / CORVO ALTO (2,455m) from Passo Giau | Croda da Lago - Cernera | Ampezzo Dolomites UNESCO Within the Croda da Lago - Cernera Group, the climb to Monte Mondeval (2,455 m), starting from Passo Giau (2,236 m), is undoubtedly one of the most popular and popular routes, both because of its moderate length and difficulty, but above all because of the stunning scenery it offers, ranging from the vast expanses of the 'Mondeval de Sora' to the splendid Laghetto delle Baste lake, all the way to the impressive 360-degree view from the summit of Monte Mondeval, also known as Corvo Alto. This panoramic view extends across the Ampezzo, Zoldo, and Agordo Dolomites, offering close-up views of the impressive rock bastions of the Lastoi de Formin and the peaks of Cernera, as well as sweeping vistas of Pelmo, Sorapiss, Antelao, Civetta, Marmolada, and more.

From here, we descend along a clear trail towards Lago delle Baste. Once we reach the lake, we continue to its right to climb the slope of Monte Mondeval, on open terrain marked only by rough tracks, but still quite easy and intuitive. Once we reach the top of the climb, a change of direction to the right allows us to reach the summit, climbing only a short distance up the slope that rises from the southeast. Be careful of the narrow and exposed ridge, both due to the rock drop to the south and the steep grassy slopes. ◀ Descent: along the outward route. 🕓 Progressive times: Giau Pass 0.00h - Giau Pass 1.00h - Baste East Lake 1.20h - Monte Mondeval 1.50h - Giau Pass 3.15h (medium pace - no stops) 🏃🏻‍♂️ Distance: approximately 8.8 km 📈 Elevation gain/loss: 510m/510m (including ascents) ⛰ Maximum altitude: 2,455m 🏠 Support points: Berghotel Passo Giau (2,236m). ◾ Difficulty: EE (Expert Hikers): trail, exposed trail, traces of trail on open terrain. 🥾 Equipment: Hiking gear. ✔ NOTE: A splendid summer-autumn route, recommended only when there is no snow and/or ice. The section between Forcella di Zonia and Forcella de Col Piombin requires sure-footedness and a head for heights (exposed trail with a steep grassy slope). The climb to the summit of Monte Mondeval from Lago delle Baste requires the ability to navigate terrain marked only by rough tracks, and caution is required for the exposure created as you ascend, both towards the grassy slope and the vertical rock face (avoid leaning over!). ⚠️ IMPORTANT: This video, the description/report, and the data provided herein are purely for informational purposes and to share a personal experience.
