Mount Lagazuoi is located halfway between Cortina d'Ampezzo and Alta Badia. Departing from the Falzarego Pass, the top of Mount Lagazuoi can be reached in 3 minutes with a modern cable car. In summer Mount Lagazuoi offers scenic hiking and rock climbing areas and an extensive Open Air Museum with itineraries through trenches and tunnels from World War I. In winter it boasts spectacular ski runs such as the Armentarola piste, considered one of the most spectacular slopes in the Alps. Being part of Dolomiti Superski ski carousel, Mount Lagazuoi is connected to the slopes of the adjacent ski areas. Lagazuoi EXPO Dolomiti is a brand new location for exhibitions and meetings next to the top station of the cable car and has been designed to highlight every form of art and culture. The Lagazuoi Refuge is the highest and the largest mountain hut in Cortina d'Ampezzo and boasts the most panoramic terrace in the Dolomites and a Finnish outdoor sauna.

We just visited, using the mountain gondola for access. The views from the top are glorious in all directions. Everyone knows this, so the earlier you go the better -- it can get really crowded up here, so you have to adapt. The refuge has a spacious terrace and you can get good quality standard fare. More importantly from my point of view (since hot coffee and chocolate and snacks are all pretty much standard) you can walk along a 'Peace Path' that is easy and lovely, to the nearby Laguzuoi summit. It is a striking and fitting memorial to all those who fought and died along this World War 1 frontier. About 500 meters of easy walking in total. If you get there early and there is not a massive line at the bottom and crowds at the top, this is a must-do in this region in my opinion, and I know the Dolomites fairly well.

Well organized slopes, efficient lift facilities, excellent snow-quality, and an ideal setting in a panoramic landscape. These elements make the Faloria-Cristallo one of the most popular ski areas in the Dolomites.

I've traveled for different ski regions in Europe and, for me, this is one of the best. It was the 2nd time at Selva di Valgardena and I like specially the region of Sella Ronda. I will come back again.
