The Tre Cime<\/strong> are the symbol of the Dolomites \u2013 and for good reason. The three distinctive rock towers rise like petrified giants from the UNESCO World Heritage<\/strong> site. A hike here is one of the most impressive experiences the Alps have to offer. While many visitors only make a brief stop for a photo, the complete circuit is definitely worth it \u2013 you get to see the Tre Cime from totally different perspectives.<\/p><\/div>\n\t <\/div>\n <\/div>\n <\/div>\n<\/div>\n\n\n The best time for hiking at the Tre Cime is between mid-June and the end of September<\/strong>. During this period, all the mountain huts are open<\/strong> and staffed. August<\/strong> does bring stable weather, but it\u2019s also the busiest month<\/strong>. An absolute insider tip is the early morning<\/strong>: start before 8 AM and experience the first rays of sunshine enveloping the rock faces in golden light. At this time, you usually have the trails to yourself.<\/p><\/div>\n\t <\/div>\n <\/div>\n <\/div>\n<\/div>\n\n\n The Rifugio Auronzo<\/strong> at 2,320 meters<\/strong> is your perfect starting point. You can get there in two ways: by your own car via the toll road<\/strong> (\u20ac30 per day, open from 7:00 AM to 8:00 PM) or by taking the shuttle bus from Misurina<\/strong>. The bus is not only more eco-friendly but also cheaper. Bonus: you can already enjoy the breathtaking scenery during the ride.<\/p><\/div>\n\t <\/div>\n <\/div>\n <\/div>\n<\/div>\n\n\n The complete circular walk measures 8.9 kilometers<\/strong> and takes you past three historic mountain huts. Plan about 4-5 hours<\/strong> for the whole tour \u2013 that gives you plenty of time for breaks and photos. The route is well marked<\/strong> and follows a clear path from Rifugio Lavaredo<\/strong> to the Tre Cime Hut. On clear days, the view extends to the Sexten Dolomites, a truly magical sight.<\/p><\/div>\n\t <\/div>\n <\/div>\n <\/div>\n<\/div>\n\n\n The altitude of over 2,300 meters<\/strong> makes the weather unpredictable. Even on sunny summer days, it can get quite cold here. A warm fleece jacket<\/strong> is therefore mandatory, as well as a windproof and waterproof jacket<\/strong>. The intense sun at high altitude makes good sun protection<\/strong> essential \u2013 bring sunglasses, a cap, and sunscreen. You should carry at least 1.5 liters of water<\/strong> with you, as the clear mountain air can make you thirsty. Your backpack should also include energy-rich snacks<\/strong> for the road and some cash<\/strong> for the mountain huts.<\/p><\/div>\n\t <\/div>\n <\/div>\n <\/div>\n<\/div>\n\n\n At the Tre Cime Hut<\/strong>, you'll be greeted with that classic postcard view, but there are plenty more magical perspectives to discover. Just after the Rifugio Lavaredo<\/strong>, the view opens up through the Forcella Lavaredo<\/strong> \u2013 a spectacular frame for the Tre Cime. On the Lange-Alm trail<\/strong>, you can see the impressive north faces in all their glory. The Paternsattel<\/strong> offers a particularly dreamy atmosphere in the evenings.<\/p><\/div>\n\t <\/div>\n <\/div>\n <\/div>\n<\/div>\n\n\n Although the elevation gain of 400 meters<\/strong> sounds modest, you shouldn't underestimate the hike. You definitely feel the altitude \u2013 even trained hikers breathe faster here. Be sure to check the weather forecast<\/strong> the day before. If there's a chance of thunderstorms<\/strong>, the hike is not recommended, as the exposed rocks are not a safe spot during lightning.<\/p><\/div>\n\t <\/div>\n <\/div>\n <\/div>\n<\/div>\n\n\n The mountain huts are the heart of alpine culture. If you want to stay overnight, reservations are mandatory<\/strong> \u2013 spots are highly sought after. Bring a hut sleeping bag<\/strong>, as slippers are usually provided. The food is traditional and hearty, ranging from Kaiserschmarren<\/strong> to South Tyrolean specialties. Cash<\/strong> is important, as not all huts accept cards.<\/p><\/div>\n\t <\/div>\n <\/div>\n <\/div>\n<\/div>\n\n\nTop Tips from our Team<\/h4> \t\t
