Misurina/Dolomites: Tour of the Tre Cime di Lavaredo

5.0 (23 verified reviews)

About This Experience

The classic loop around the Tre Cime di Lavaredo — about 10 km and 400 m of ascent in five hours — with a local guide who covers the geology, the First World War front line and the wildlife as you walk. All 23 reviewers have rated it 5 out of 5.

The guide collects you at Lake Misurina and drives the group up the toll road to Rifugio Auronzo; the €40 car toll is included. From there the route goes to Forcella Lavaredo at about 2,450 m, round to Rifugio Locatelli beneath the north faces, over Forcella Col di Mezzo and back to Auronzo.

A backpack, a litre of water, hiking shoes, a rain jacket and a phone are mandatory. Food is not provided and the huts close in autumn — Locatelli published its 2026 season as ending on 27 September — so bring a packed lunch.

Cristina was the best guide for our Tre Cime hike! She is a seasoned hiker and matches the pace of the group and makes sure everyone is feeling good! She also takes amazing pics at all the best viewpoints! Definitely book this breathtaking hike through the Tre Cime loop with Cris!!

Our guide Natascia was fabulous. it was wonderful to experience Tre Cime di Lavaredo with someone who grew up in the area and truly loves the beauty that the mountains have to offer. She shared her knowledge of geology, the mountains, and world war 1 artifacts. it was also wonderful to be picked up and driven up there vs dealing with the bus. It was a pleasure spending the time hiking with Natascia and enjoying the magic of Tre Cime

Wonderful hike with Natascia. Great conversation about the history, geology, and culture of the area. She gave me great advice for future visits and was kind in sharing some of her life stories too. And we beat the rainstorm!
