Lago Di Sorapiss Circular Route

Lake Sorapis is a magnificent turquoise lake of glacial origin at the foot of the peak known as Le Doigt de Dieu (God's Finger). Please note: a user reported on 15 June 2025 that >the cumulative elevation gain according to our two GPS devices is approximately 400/450m (and definitely not 935m) , and it took us 3 hours and 15 minutes walking at a fairly normal pace.

The walk begins with an ascent via the Tre Croci Pass and then Marcuoira before reaching the heights above Lake Sorapis. This is followed by a very scenic descent towards Valbona. Finally, you head back up towards the starting point along a forest track.

A beautiful circular route in the Cadin di Misurina massif, starting from the lake, which takes you to the wilder part of the massif to the Fonda Savio Refuge, with a beautiful view of the Tre Cime along the way. Please note: there are a few difficult sections, but they are generally well equipped. Be sure to read the comments in the practical information section.

A major tourist attraction... definitely worth a visit!!! But now you have to remember to book your parking space in advance (30 euros) and, if you don't get a space in the upper car park and you're not a keen walker, it's 10 euros per person for the bus. It's a steep climb! There's a short, fairly strenuous section for about 15 minutes near the end of the climb to the refuge. You can take a 10-minute shortcut along the road to avoid having to go back up if you're tired. The problem is that once you get to the top, you're a bit too tired to go around the "Tre Cime". It is possible to push on to another viewpoint towards the more rugged mountains opposite. Also worth noting: take 50p and £1 coins for the toilets.

You will drive around the famous Tre Cime massif, neither too far nor too close, so you can admire it from all angles. Part of the route is very quiet, even in summer. No difficulty, just pure pleasure!

Tour of an iconic site in the Dolomites, the Tre Cime. A splendid view of the Dolomites and the Three Peaks. Access is subject to a fee.

An extraordinary hike that will take you to the foot of the famous Tre Cime di Lavaredo in the Dolomites, in the heart of the southern Eastern Pre-Alps, offering views of numerous peaks and lakes.

A hike along the water that will take you as close as possible to the Fanes Waterfalls (passing under the waterfalls) a few kilometres north of Cortina d'Ampezzo. Please note: read the warnings in the practical information section. Via Ferrata enthusiasts can take cable passages close to the waterfalls (bring the appropriate equipment).
