Tre Cime di Lavaredo Circuit
Must-DoFamilyThe iconic loop around the three towers is flat and well-marked ā stunning views with minimal effort. Start from Rifugio Auronzo (ā¬30 toll road) or hike up from Lago di Misurina to skip the fee.
Alta Via 1 (full traverse)
IconicAdvancedFrom Lago di Braies to Belluno through the heart of the Dolomites. 120 km, ~8,000m cumulative ascent. Sleep in rifugi (half-board ~ā¬60ā80/night). The gold standard of Italian trekking.
Seceda Ridgeline
Must-DoCable car from Ortisei to 2,500m, then walk the famous ridge with the Odle peaks as a backdrop. One of the most photographed views in all the Alps. Morning light is best.
Lago di Sorapis
IconicA turquoise glacial lake at 1,923m that looks unreal. The trail from Passo Tre Croci includes exposed sections with fixed cables. Not suitable for those with vertigo. Start very early ā it gets mobbed.
Puez-Odle Altopiano Circuit
Hidden GemA quieter multi-day loop through the Puez-Odle Nature Park. Lunar landscapes, chamois sightings, and far fewer crowds than the Tre Cime area. Base at Rifugio Puez or Genova.
Adolf Munkel Trail
FamilyBudgetA gentle trail at the base of the Odle massif starting from Zanser Alm in Val di Funes. Perfect for families ā flat meadows, forest sections, and the towers looming above. Free parking at the trailhead.
