Hiking in the Dolomites – three most beautiful routes for one day and business cards of the Italian Alps. Recommendations and features of the routes.<\/em><\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"\"<\/figure>\n\n\n\n

What’s the best thing in the world to put your mind in order? For me, it’s the mountains<\/strong> and the ocean<\/strong>.
The ocean is quite far away, so we chose the mountains – the Dolomites, which have long been on my varsity list. So we got in the car, packed up our camping gear, bought food for ourselves and the dog, and set off on a week-long trip from Prague to Italy.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

During five full days in the mountains, we managed to walk several radial tracks, camp in a tent and a hut, enjoy the sun, see snow on the peaks, and relax in the SPA.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Summer in the Dolomites – when is it better to go<\/h2>\n\n\n\n
\"\"<\/figure>\n\n\n\n

Summer is the season for hiking in the mountains, but the weather is different in the summer months. We were in the Dolomites in early June – we were lucky, so it was only raining and cloudy for one day. But this can happen in July and August – these are the mountains, and the weather changes quite quickly. The temperature in the mountains varies from +28-35 \u2103 during the day to +5-20\u2103 at night. Depending on the altitude at which you spend the night and the month you go to the mountains.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

But August is considered drier, as is September, so there are a lot of people in these months. Especially in August, because it is also a traditional month for European vacations. The weather is good, but the prices for housing are enormous! Campsites are booked in advance – 2-3 months in advance, and hotel prices go up to the sky, because these are mountains )))<\/p>\n\n\n\n

September is less hot and crowded. Compared to June, the weather in September is a bit drier, and there is no snow on the peaks. In June, at altitudes above 2500 meters, you can still find trails covered with snow.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Hiking in the Dolomites – the most beautiful tracks for one day<\/h2>\n\n\n\n
\"\"<\/figure>\n\n\n\n

Why did I like the Dolmites? <\/p>\n\n\n\n

First of all, these are very beautiful mountains. The photos speak for themselves. And secondly, there are many routes for one day – you don’t have to carry a backpack with all your things. You can drive your car to the start, leave the car in the parking lot and walk through the beautiful mountains all day. Some routes are paid for because they are very popular and are the Dolomites’ trademark. But most of them are free, and some trails can be accessed by ski lifts. But whether you pay for a lift or go up on foot is up to you. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Track around Tre Cime di Lavaredo (2320 m)<\/h3>\n\n\n\n
\"<img<\/figure>\n\n\n\n

The three sharp-pointed rocks of Tre Cime di Lavaredo<\/strong> are the hallmark of the Dolomites. It is a grandiose rock massif that is featured on many local postcards. That’s why there are always a lot of tourists here in summer. But we were here in early June, and the weather was very cloudy, with almost no people on the trail. There was no sun that day – it was raining down in the valley below, and the clouds above made the mountains look very dramatic.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"\"<\/figure>\n\n\n\n

Despite the popularity of this track and the number of people who come here, this track should definitely be included in a trip to the Dolomites. But the grandiosity of the spectacle is such that the crowd “dissolves” in this fantastic space and there is a complete union with nature. Unfortunately, the camera cannot capture what we saw when we climbed to these peaks.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Tre Cime di Lavaredo route details:<\/h4>\n\n\n\n
\"\"<\/figure>\n\n\n\n

The beginning of the route (signpost #101) goes around the peaks on a wide, flat road (a former military road from the First World War), with almost no elevation gain. At first, the tops don’t look like their popularized images. Thanks to the clouds, we could hardly see them at first – only white mounds of stone, which are classic in the Dolomites.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"\"<\/figure>\n\n\n\n

The majority of tourists start walking around the peaks counterclockwise <\/strong>, and we did the same. But after passing by the chapel built in honor of the fallen Alpine archers, we finally saw the grandeur and beauty of Tre Chime. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"\"<\/figure>\n\n\n\n

Then the route went along the traverse to the nearest shelter Rifugio Lavaredo<\/strong>, 2344 m, which is open from June to September. From here, the trail turns back, and the peaks of Tre Chime begin to gradually take on a familiar appearance that I had seen in photographs before.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"<img<\/figure>\n\n\n\n

From the shelter of Rifugio<\/strong> Lavaredo<\/strong>, a wide path paved with stones goes up to the pass Forcella Lavaredo (2454 m, about 30 min. from the shelter<\/strong>). In the First World War, the saddle of the pass was an important stronghold of the Italian army. The pass saddle offers a magnificent view of both Tre Cime<\/strong> and the crest of Monte Paterno<\/strong>, the Tre Scaperi<\/strong> and Baranci<\/strong> groups.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"\"<\/figure>\n\n\n\n

The part of track from Rifugio Locatelli<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n

Then, along the trail #101, the route traverses the slope of the Monte Paterno ridge, gradually descending and then ascending to the Rifugio<\/strong> Lokatelli <\/strong> shelter (2405 m, 45 minutes from the saddle of the pass), open from June to September.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"<img<\/figure>\n\n\n\n

From Rifugio Locatelli<\/strong>, trail #102 leads in a westerly direction. Going down to the upper part of the Plan da Rin<\/strong> basin for about 15 minutes, and then climbing back up to the opposite slope of the valley. Then the trail goes almost without gaining altitude around the peaks of Tre Chime, along the way there is a restaurant Langalm<\/strong>, stylized as a shepherds’ hut (2283 m).<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"\"<\/figure>\n\n\n\n

From here, after a short climb and crossing a wide scree couloir, the trail ascends to the Forcella<\/strong> Vol di Mezzo<\/strong> pass (2135 m, about 1 hour). 50 min. from the Rifugio Locatelli shelter. And then in 10 minutes you can walk to the upper parking lot and bus stop near Rifugio Auronzo<\/strong>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
