Route description

A short internal part of the Larch Path connects Rü and Rüdeferia farms. It introduces larch woodland, meadows and everyday features of Alta Badia’s rural landscape: fences, dry-stone construction and nature boards. At the end, look for Rüdeferia Watermill, described by the local operator as restored and functioning. Its outside approach belongs to the selected direction; a demonstration of the mechanism needs separate agreement. This passage does not return to San Cassiano by itself: the Rü approach and later return are independent parts of the day. The local tourism cooperative’s card currently labels the trail closed. Plan the outing only after confirmation that the selected section is available again.

Route suitability

Кому будет комфортно
Without a car - Hard With children - With caution With a dog - No data By bike - No data With a stroller - No data Mobile signal - No data The start is at Rü farm after a separate approach from San Cassiano. Confirm that the operator’s stated closure no longer affects it before attempting even this short part. After permitted opening, children need a quiet pace and supervision; dog, bicycle and stroller rules for this exact section and continuous reception are unconfirmed.

Nearby

San Cassiano’s church and centre belong to a separate lower approach. The full themed circuit via Larjëi farm is a different longer plan. Continuing to Santa Croce lies beyond this passage and requires an independently checked mountain day.

How much time to allow

Оцените свой темп
Time for the route 25–40 min after opening
With stops | 45–60 min after opening This editorial allowance covers the internal Rü–Rüdeferia passage on safe ground. The complete San Cassiano circuit, approach, mill demonstration and return are excluded. An allowance does not establish the outing as possible before access is confirmed.

Best time to go

Сезонность и рекомендации
Autumn changes the larches’ colours; warm snow-free conditions reveal meadows and traditional fences. The current closure notice takes precedence over a seasonal description. Check winter or icy ground separately; an accessible town approach does not establish the whole trail as open.

What to bring

Базовый список для комфортного похода
Grippy footwear.
Water, a small snack and clothing for the forecast.
Rain protection and a map of the separate San Cassiano approach and chosen return.
