Itinerary at a glance

The Dolomites offer three natural parks and scenic attractions such as Lake Prags, the Tre Cime, and the Cristallo Group. Austrian and Italian influences shape the delicious South Tyrolean cuisine.

Your hiking tour begins at the idyllic Lake Pragser Wildsee which is bewitching visitors with its crystal-clear water. There you will get a first impression of the Pragser valley, which is with its dark forests and white rock walls one of the perls in the Dolomites. Via the plateau to alp Rossalm further on to the Plätzwiese. Far away you can see Monte Cristallo, the Tofane and the famous Tre Cime di Lavaredo. After a short bus ride you reach plateau Plätzwiese.

Plateau Plätzwiese in nature park „Fanes Sennes Prags“, the biggest nature park in the Dolomites, appeals with its unique flora and wild lakes its visitors in a special way. Your walk leads you either way to Dürrenstein or to Strudelkopf, where you will have a fantastic view onto the surrounding mountains.

You walk through plateau Plätzwiese and valley Knappenfusstal down to the Gemärk, the boarder between South Tyrol and the province Belluno. From there you go by public transport directly to Cortina d’Ampezzo or you choose to walk the slightly longer variant to hut Ra Stua, and below the Col Rosa to the former Olympic city. Option to shorten the route.

The panorama of this stage will simply blow you away! Introducing the mighty rock giants of the Ampezzan Dolomites, the Cristallo-group, the Tofane and the Fanes-group - the leads of this spectacle. There are two routes to choose from: one leads to Forcella Faloria and the second one along the Dolomieu Panoramic-Trail. Both options lead you towards the ‚Passo Tre Croci’ and finally back to Cortina. Alternatively, you can make a nice circular walk around Cortina or to the Cinque Torri.
