Secëda

Secëda is a mountain peak at 2,519 meters within the Puez-Odle Nature Park, marked by limestone cliffs and sharp ridges that form part of the Dolomites. The summit area features grass meadows, steep sections, and hollows that create distinct routes across the terrain.

Ancient trails around the peak, originally created by shepherds centuries ago, remain visible and continue to guide hikers through mountain passages today. These routes show how people have long used and crossed this region.

The mountain preserves traditions of Ladin culture, with alpine huts serving regional specialties and local customs visible in how the space is used throughout the year. Visitors notice this heritage in the hut furnishings, food preparation, and the rhythms of mountain life.

Two cable car systems connect the town of Ortisei to the summit, offering transport for hikers and skiers on most days. Conditions vary by season, so checking current information before visiting helps with planning.

The Fermeda Towers rise from the ridge looking like frozen needles piercing through the mountain surface. These unusual stone columns define the range profile and become clearly visible during the climb.
