tre cime di lavaredo

It was my first hikking to Alps mountain and it was great every step I had. We went there in Juni, the snow still quit a lot but the weather was prety warm. The view .. is breathtaking. You could just walking around, without geting bored. When you get tired, you could easily take some rest on the safe spot or you could go to the cabine which also serve food and drink, though it only open during summer.

High on our agenda and high in the expectation stakes but delivered in spades!! This section of the Dolomiti has a wealth to offer.Pros: Great drive into the park beside Lago di Misurina and the Cadini Mountains, convenient parking, lots of wonderful walking trails and spectacular views (even on a dull day). Cons: Nothing open (no food or coffee)? And I don't want to be a spoil sport but the €20 entry fee seemed a little steep in comparison to other Parks (particularly for a short visit)?

You have a couple of options to get up to the hiking trails, one is a bus from Dobbiacho / toblach for around 9 euros, a good option if you are in the for several days, or you can drive up the toll road.This is what we did due to time constraints. There was little information available about the toll road, one might expect it at the bottom of the hill, but no, it is about 1/2 way up with a very small parking area should you chose the bus or hike option at the mountain. 22 euros later we were on our way up (save the ticket to get out of automated gate at exit.) Most of the ample parking at the top is taken up by 10:00am, we found a spot and began our hike counter clockwise. There are four refugios on the 4 1/2 hour ( very leisurely pace) circuit. Restrooms are available at each, but you may have to buy something to have access to them. The trail is well marked and fairly level for most of the trip. The last 25% before returning to the parking lot gains elevation rapidly, but there are plenty of rest opportunities available. Refugio Locatelli is a great halfway point for strudel and a coffee. They also have full meal and rooms ( as they all do) to stay for a price, (reservations essential in summer) A truly beautiful and amazing experience providing memories for a life time.

The Tre Cime is a must place to visit. Yes we had to pay about 20 euros to get the car up the mountain to the car park but someone has to manage the many visitors to this magnificent scene.Yes - there were quite a few people up there and we are reliably informed it gets very crowded in August.We visited in June and were lucky enough to have clear blue skys, sun, a bit of heat and snow on the ground too. It was an absolute picture.From the car park - follow the easy main trial around with the crowd but perhaps consider returning around the well marked paths via Langalm.Much recommended

We have done Tre Cime numerous times since we were young. The scenery is amazing and is always worth the trip. The restaurant up the top is fantastic! The whole family will enjoy it!P. MartiniSydney, Australia

We hiked from Rifugio Auronzo to Rifugio Locateli for 1.5h and enjoyed beautiful scenery in the dolomites.

Walk in, about 40 minutes, from the road and experience some stunning scenery. If you are lucky watch climbers ascending the 600-700 metre cliffs.great photo opportunity.

I drove a car with my son(4 years old) to visit Tre Cime di Lavaredo in October 2013. It was such an amazing place and beyond my expectation. It was not so crowded on the weekday in mid October and there were many free parkings available. I and my son had a pleasure walk and the hike was not too difficult for a 4 years old child(he had some walking experiences in other place before). I heard it could be crowded if you go at the weekend or in July/August holidays season so better avoid those periods. If you come with kids, don't forget a rain jackets, bottle of water and loads of snacks!

On our road trip through Europe, we stopped at Cortina d'Ampezzo and drove up to Tre Cime di Lavaredo. We are hikers and very active people so the hike was easy. However, the scenery was breathtaking and it is well worth the trip. We visited Tre Cime di Lavaredo at the beginning of September 2013 and it was not crowded at all and the weather was perfect. The drive alone is an adventure. If you plan on visiting Cortina d'Ampezzo, I recommend that you take one full day or two and drive around to surrounding areas because you will get a chance to witness some of the most spectacular views.

One of the most beautiful destinations we have had the pleasure to visit. Many complain of the crowds but go on a week day and get an early morning start to avoid that problem. An early morning start is best for the weather since afternoon thunderstorms can be a problem after 3 p.m. Bring a warm vest and a light rain jacket in your backpack. Sunglasses and a hat are must have as well.

Wonderful walk, spectacular views but waaaay too popular and crowded. We took the long path around which was a little less busy. But it took about 45 minutes in a very crowded, stuffy room to get a lunch order filled at Rif Locatelli. Fortunately the view when exiting the lunch room at Locatelli was so inspiring it truly stopped me in my tracks. Bathroom queue was insane! Definitely go visit, but don't go in August.

With out a doubt one of the most beautifull places in Dolomiti.Great drive on the toll road, but do not let an unexperiensed, newly passed driver sit behind the Wheel...The hike is quite easy, but there are lots of small "unbeaten/unofficial" tracks, that can spise things up a bit. No matter what route you take, the view is absolutely stunning.

The tour around the Tre Cime is fabulous and the views amazing.Recommendation: arrive early to avoid the queues to pay the road toll and to avoid the crowds on the trails.

Were there many times by motorcycle and always was stunning. All Dolomite Alps are beautiful, heavenly and unforgettable but the tre cime are unique. Toll is pricey about EUR 13,00 but absolute worth it.For sure we will go back!

I have been there as a kid, so this time since driving in the area I took the opportunity to drive up to the Auronzo with my wife and kids. I forgot how nice they are, and the surrounding view is breathtaking. We were not prepared to walk a lot so we just went to the Lavaredo which was a bit crowded, but I enjoyed every minute.If you are in the area or have the chance to come here please do, you will not be disappointed, in bad weather do not go, you probably waste 22 Eur, but if weather is clean and sunny view is unforgettable.
