From this panoramic point near the Locatelli refuge you have a splendid view of the Tre Cime di Lavaredo and the surrounding peaks. It is probably one of the most beautiful places you will ever walk.

October 4, 2023,Rundwanderung um die Drei Zinnen – Bergtour in den Sextner Dolomiten
It's a shame that the clouds didn't clear the Three Peaks for a moment. As an encore today I walked the Patern Gallery and Kriegsteig to the start of the via ferrata. Very impressive!

Maybe the last sunny day in the Dolomites before a possible onset of winter with snow at higher altitudes? That must be exploited. We were not the only ones with this idea, however. But if you ignore the crowds, it was the perfect adventure: Circumnavigating the Three Peaks and climbing the Paternkofel.
From the Three Peaks Hut via the Innerkofler-De …

September 10, 2021,⛰⛰⛰ Drei Zinnen
There is not much to explain about the tour, as it is a classic. Just this much: Start at sunrise is highly recommended (in the case of September around 6:15 a.m.) because:
1. one avoids the mass rush and has no stress with parking or getting up at all
2. The glow of the morning sun on the battlements and …

It is best to arrive as early as possible in the morning. It's very crowded. We parked at the Auronzohütte (30 euro toll). You can also park below and take the bus. We walked anti-clockwise so the sun was always good. The first half is visually the more interesting. With a lot of enjoying and taking pictures we were there …

June 14, 2024,3 Zinnen Runde
Actually, it was supposed to be the Paternkofel via the Innerwinkler Steig, but unfortunately there was too much snow on the via ferrata.

We abandoned it and did the 3 Zinnen circuit.

Today we had planned to climb the Paternkofel via ferrata. The approach to the Dreizinnenhütte was already well-frequented. Everything went smoothly up to the entrance of the World War II tunnel. Full of anticipation, we put on our via ferrata sets at the end of the tunnel and mastered the first 30 meters or so. Unfortunately, we then discovered that …

The third part of our Three Peaks adventure: after climbing the Great Peak, today we went on the circular hiking trail and the two via ferratas Toblinger nodes and Partenkofel around the peaks.
