A look at the Tofane

Highlight • Viewpoint

Cortina boasts the three Tofane mountains (Rozes, Mezzo, Dentro). A great view of the trio. The most impressive is the Tofana di Rozes.

View of Tofana di Rozes and Cinque Torri

Highlight • Viewpoint

The Cinque Torri ("Five Towers") are a well-known rock formation in the Dolomites. As the name suggests, they consist of five, up to 2,361 meters high towers. From here you have a particularly good view of the peaks of the Cinque Torri and on the Torfana di Rozes (3.225m) with the impressive south wall.

Cinque Torri ascent to Rifugio Averau

Highlight (Segment) • Climb

Yes, crisp driveway. For BioBikers, pushing is sometimes the order of the day. But a fantastically beautiful mountain region 👍

Giau Pass

Highlight • Mountain Pass

Passo Giau is a wonderful starting point for a pleasant walk. It is one of the most famous mountain passes in the Dolomites. It has ample parking, the opportunity to enjoy something to eat and a beautiful view of the mountains. A visit to the Dolomites is not complete without going through Passo Giau.

Lago d'Ajal Hut

Highlight • Mountain Hut

It can not be more idyllic! Even if the hut is not open, it was no mistake to stop here. Information about the hut can be found here: dolomiti.org/it/mangiare/Rifugio-Lago-d-Ajal. If you plan your tour, you should ask here first if open.

August 2, 2023,Passo Giau und Rif. Averau

Passo Giau ... one of the most beautiful passes I've ever driven and despite the 2000 hm easily doable. Compared to the previous passes of the previous days, the increase was quite moderate. Unfortunately, the mountains could only be seen for short moments, but then an absolutely impressive panorama. ref. Averau has been on the agenda for a long time. …
