Italy Seceda Classic View
This is one of the most beautiful and iconic locations in the Italian Dolomites. The mountain is called Seceda with an altitude of 2500m above sea level..
Photography Tips
You should be there very early or in the evening for the best light. I used a tripod and a 70-200 with a wireless remote release to capture this picture with myself in it.
Travel Information
You can sleep nearby in one of the alpine huts, or you can take the Seceda Cable Car from St. Ulrich to the top, this will cost you 32 Euro per person. Or you can hike up there. But be sure of weather conditions and watch the forecast.
There are no huts at the top of Seceda where you can stay overnight.
One of the nearest possibilities is to book a room at Fermeda hut which is located about 1km lower.
But even from there it is an 1h hike to get up to this photospot (which might be quite early if you plan to shoot sunrise at Seceda). For sunset there is a good alternative: get up there a little bit earlier using the Fermeda chairlift (usually runs until 16:30) to save the 1h hike to the top and hike down after the sunset (as there will be no more chailift running at that time).
