Piz Boè is the highest mountain of the Sella Group mountain-range in the Dolomites.. It has an elevation of 3,152 metres (10,341 ft). ... Due to its location, most of the major Dolomiten peaks are visible from its summit. It is known to be one the easiest summits to climb which are higher than 3,000 metres. It is steep rocky scree climbing on a number of sections of this climb. The finale to the peak is open trail with a few sections with rope to assist. As we keep climbing up, we can enjoy the view on the Dolomites. After we reach the summit, we find many others who are also taking in this incredible view within these few available metres between the summit cross and the little Capanna di Fassa mountain hut. From here we trace our steps back to our starting point. Mt. Piz Boè marksthe border between the provinces Bolzano, Trento and Belluno. A definite SUMMIT GROUP PHOTO!

Trail Running Camp Tirol, 2017
Loved every bit of this trip! One of the best times I've had & can't wait to do another adventure with you!! Karrie, you and Ollie were just fantastic, thanks sooo much. Xx Nicki from Great Britain, Trail Camp 2017
Karrie, you had better be planning a good return trip for next year too…I need something to look forward to - Spain, Austria or Italy! (Can we do all???) I have quite a few jealous work friends too who might join us. It was such an incredible week! Thank you Fitty from Great Britain, Trail Camp 2017 *memories *friendship * laughter *mountains *next time
Trail Running Camp Tirol, 2015
"All too often the so called "trip of a lifetime" fails to live up to the hype. Not so with our Tirol trail running adventure. Even when Mother Nature threw a snowy curveball at us Karrie worked her magic reworking the route and getting into fantastic alms when we would have floundered on our own. I was lucky enough to extend my stay with a 6 day hike filled with more amazing places. Overall best trip ever! I've fallen in love with Austria and look forward to returning to tackle the high trail some time in the not too distant future.
