Seceda
Ortisei, Italy
A grassy ridge at 2,500 metres that ends in a sharp drop, facing the jagged Odle group. A cable car from Ortisei goes most of the way up; it runs from late spring to autumn and in winter for skiers.
At 2,519 m, the Seceda (Ladin Secëda) is a peak in the Odle (Geisler) group in the western Dolomites and lies within the Puez-Odle Nature Park. The Furnes–Seceda cable car is 2,050 m long and climbs 700 m; it normally runs from late May to early November (as of October 2026). A chairlift on the Fermeda is 1,900 m long.
If you want to hike, a round trip to the summit is about 11 km with around 480 m of ascent and takes roughly three and a half hours; the difficulty is medium. The peak's prominence is 82 m, and the next higher neighbour is the Untere Fermeda. The nearest hut, the Baita Daniel, is about 850 m south-east of the summit. Check the cable car timetable and the weather forecast beforehand.
