The Tre Cime di Lavaredo, also called the Drei Zinnen, are three distinctive battlement-like peaks, in the Sexten Dolomites of northeastern Italy. They are probably one of the best-known mountain groups in the Alps.

The Sesto Dolomites are a true paradise for every hiking and climbing enthusiast, offering both easy and more challenging tours with great views. To hike around the Tre Cime di Lavaredo Mountains, the emblem of the Dolomites, however, is an absolute must both for tourists and locals.

We drive through the Val di Landro until we reach Lake Misurina, where we park our car. With the bus we are reaching Rif. Auronzo (2,320 metres asl), the starting point of our hiking tour.

On the south side of the Tre Cime Mountains, we are following trail no. 101 towards Rif. Lavaredo (2,344 metres asl). From here, we take a narrow trail up to the Forcella di Lavaredo at 2,454 metres asl, where we enjoy a breathtaking view not only of the surrounding panorama but also of the 500 metres high north walls of the Tre Cime Mountains. We hike slightly downwards along the foot of Monte Paterno until we reach a fork, from where we follow the signposts towards the Rifugio A. Locatelli (2,438 metres asl).
