5.0 based on 299 reviews
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.

Great view from the top and a very long ski slope to the bottom of the valley. 3 cabin lifts will take you to the top so it will take a while and be prepared for some cueing at the first one down in the valley. Don't miss the museum between cabin lift 2 and 3.

Emblematic of the Dolomites and absolutely spectacular. The tour around the Tre Cime took us about 4hours of easy hike (although fully in the snow, and quite slippery) from and to the parking lot. Should be more like 3 hrs in summer. Incredible photo opportunities along the way. Yes parking access is expensive but so is maintaining infrastructures at this altitude. Must do.

Drive up the mountain pass and take a chair lift which brings you directly on top of this plateau and enjoy that beautiful panorama view which differs completely in every direction! The WWI open air museum right underneath the Cinque Torri spikes is an absolute must-do and will take you about an hour. Don't forget to have a drink on the mountain shelter's terrace and enjoy the view!

The Giau Pass (Italian: Passo di Giau) (ladin lenguage: Jof de Giau) (el. 2236 m.) is a high mountain pass in the Dolomites in the province of Belluno in Italy. It connects Cortina d'Ampezzo and Colle Santa Lucia. It is located at the center of a vast mountain pasture at the foot of Nuvolau (2,574 m) and dell'Averau (2,647 m) from which you can easily reach the Monte Pore (2,405 m). Impressive is the view west towards Colle Santa Lucia with the Pale di San Martino, Cime D'Auta, Marmolada, Piz Boe and Setsass, just to the east towards the valley of Cortina d'Ampezzo, with Tofane, Croda Rossa, Pomagagnon, Cristallo, Croda da Lago, etc ...

We did the waterfalls tour on the via ferrata/canyon route as a day break between more challenging via ferratas. It is officially graded as a 1A via ferrata but it can be done by anyone. The stretches with cables are very short, there were also a lot of children.

What a beautiful little village. Plenty of small and large hotels and restaurants. We stayed in the Garni Laura. Bed and breakfast only giving you tyre freedom to enjoy the myriad mountain restaurants and other restaurants in the town. Some fantastic skiing on the doorstep as well as the entire Sella Ronda. We'd love to come back.

Lago di Misurina is absolutely my favorite lake in the Dolomites. It is particularly stunning early in the morning when the light brings out the craggy contours of the Sorapis south of the lake, and the water is likely to be mirror smooth making for an unforgettable reflection. Misurina has a connection to the 1956 Winter Olympics which where based in nearby Cortina. Long before the days where a purpose specific venue was built for just about every event, many of the events were held wherever an appropriate environment could be found. Misurina was the venue for the Men's Speed Skating event. Temporary wooden bleachers to accommodate up to 8000 spectators were built on the North end of the lake near the Grand Hotel Misurina. The various events were held from 28 January thru 31 January. After the Olympics were over, the stands were taken down and the lake slipped back into relative obscurity. Pictures of the event that can be found online show that it is just about unchanged from then.
