Spring is beautifully lush and bright-green in the Dolomites. The crowds are not there yet. But beware of closed trails due to snow.

Spring

June to mid-July is the best time to enjoy hiking and avoid crowds. It's cooler than other parts of Italy, so the weather is enjoyable compared to further south.

Summer

Fall is beautiful and majestic in the Dolomites. Iconic hikes are still open but it starts becoming chilly at high altitudes.

Fall

Winters are beautiful in the Dolomites with plenty of world-class ski resorts, but you won't be able to visit most of the attractions due to snow.

The Dolomites

Hidden Gem of Italy

The Dolomites – Hidden Gem of Italy

This mountain range is one of the most iconic and recognizable in the Dolomites. Tre Cime di Lavaredo literally means The Three Peaks of Lavaredo, given its massive sandstone monoliths reaching almost 10,000 ft.

The best way to explore this breathtaking sight is to hike the Tre Cime Loop which starts at Rifugio Auronzo car park and can be done in both directions. We recommend going counter-clockwise, keeping the towers to your left – this way you will get slightly better scenery.

The hike itself takes almost 4 hours, but we recommend taking your time and stopping mid-hike for coffee at Rifugio A. Locatelli or for lunch at a scenic Malga Langalm hut.
