The first half follows a wide gravel road. The challenge comes in the second half of the trail once you start the ascent to the pass.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Switchbacks, sharp elevation gain, and scree sections are challenging. However, if you have hiking experience, you shouldn&#8217;t have any trouble tackling this hike.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Even though trails are always very well marked in the Dolomites, there are few occasions when a map comes in handy. It is always better to come prepared. For this hike, you will need the <a href=\"https:\/\/amzn.to\/3Me9eqf\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Tabacco map no. 022<\/a>.\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n<div style=\"height:70px\" aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"wp-block-spacer\"><\/div>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"The_best_time_of_year_to_hike_to_Passo_Mulaz\"><\/span>The best time of year to hike to Passo Mulaz<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1024\" height=\"683\" src=\"https:\/\/inafarawayland.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/10\/Baita-Segantini-1-1024x683.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-22625\" title=\"\" srcset=\"https:\/\/inafarawayland.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/10\/Baita-Segantini-1-1024x683.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/inafarawayland.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/10\/Baita-Segantini-1-300x200.jpg 300w, https:\/\/inafarawayland.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/10\/Baita-Segantini-1-768x512.jpg 768w, https:\/\/inafarawayland.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/10\/Baita-Segantini-1.jpg 1200w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" \/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p>The hike is doable from around mid-June until the end of October. If you want to combine it with an overnight stay in the Mulaz hut or rely on public transport to get to the trailhead, plan your trip between the third week of June and the last week of September.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>I hiked this trail in the second half of September. The conditions were perfect. The summer heat was already gone, the skies were blue, and there was very little wind. I also hadn&#8217;t met anyone else on the trail, which was a bonus.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<div style=\"height:70px\" aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"wp-block-spacer\"><\/div>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"cc-m-header-12790585199\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Getting_to_the_trailhead_of_the_Passo_Mulaz_hike\"><\/span>Getting to the trailhead of the Passo Mulaz hike<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<div style=\"height:50px\" aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"wp-block-spacer\"><\/div>\n\n\n\n<h4 class=\"wp-block-heading\">By car<\/h4>\n\n\n\n<p>The route starts at Passo Rolle.

It adds an extra 2 hours and another 300 meters of elevation to your day.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>However, the views from Passo Mulaz are already fantastic, so you might as well save yourself the extra hassle. I personally like the cute monoliths on Passo Farangole in the distance.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-gallery has-nested-images columns-default is-cropped wp-block-gallery-2 is-layout-flex wp-block-gallery-is-layout-flex\">\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"683\" height=\"1024\" data-id=\"22631\" src=\"https:\/\/inafarawayland.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/10\/Passo-Mulaz-Hike-9-683x1024.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-22631\" title=\"\" srcset=\"https:\/\/inafarawayland.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/10\/Passo-Mulaz-Hike-9-683x1024.jpg 683w, https:\/\/inafarawayland.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/10\/Passo-Mulaz-Hike-9-200x300.jpg 200w, https:\/\/inafarawayland.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/10\/Passo-Mulaz-Hike-9-768x1152.jpg 768w, https:\/\/inafarawayland.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/10\/Passo-Mulaz-Hike-9.jpg 800w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 683px) 100vw, 683px\" \/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"683\" height=\"1024\" data-id=\"22630\" src=\"https:\/\/inafarawayland.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/10\/Passo-Mulaz-Hike-7-683x1024.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-22630\" title=\"\" srcset=\"https:\/\/inafarawayland.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/10\/Passo-Mulaz-Hike-7-683x1024.jpg 683w, https:\/\/inafarawayland.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/10\/Passo-Mulaz-Hike-7-200x300.jpg 200w, https:\/\/inafarawayland.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/10\/Passo-Mulaz-Hike-7-768x1152.jpg 768w, https:\/\/inafarawayland.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/10\/Passo-Mulaz-Hike-7.jpg 800w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 683px) 100vw, 683px\" \/><\/figure>\n<\/figure>\n\n\n\n<div style=\"height:50px\" aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"wp-block-spacer\"><\/div>\n\n\n\n<h4 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Going back to the trailhead<\/h4>\n\n\n\n<p>The route down is the same as the one up.
