The short version of everything in the guides — what people actually ask before they go.

Getting there

Can I drive up to the Tre Cime?

Is there a bus?

Yes. Dolomitibus runs public buses up to Rifugio Auronzo, and cyclists can ride the road free of charge.

The peaks

How high are the Tre Cime?

The highest, the Cima Grande in the middle, is 2,999 m.

The walk

How long is the walk around the peaks?

The guided loop from Rifugio Auronzo is 10 km with about 400 m of ascent and takes about 5 hours, via Forcella Lavaredo and the Locatelli hut.

Day trips

Can I visit from Venice?

Yes. Day trips from Venice take 9–10 hours and combine viewpoints of the Tre Cime with lakes such as Braies or Misurina and time in Cortina.
