Sankt Johann im Walde walks

An easy walk along the glacial river Isel, from the hamlet of Sankt-Johann to the village of Huben, passing the ruins of Kienburg Castle. A pleasant, well-maintained path, marked by large carved stones. Huben is said to be the geographical centre of East Tyrol.

A lovely hike from the hamlet of Taurer Wirt, first along the magnificent Kals torrent gorges, then to an easily accessible refuge. Next, a fairly steep climb to reach above the tree line and enjoy a splendid view of the surrounding mountains. You will cross several torrents on a more or less flat path. The descent will take you to a mountain inn.

A short, peaceful walk around Lake Tassenbach, popular with locals. The path first runs between the lake and a small river. You will see a few birds and ducks, which are not shy at all (ideal for children).

A very beautiful hike towards the Three Peaks starting from Val Fiscalina. Access by car to the starting point is easy. The car park may be half full by 8 am. You reach the Three Peaks via the Locatelli mountain hut, renowned for offering the finest view of the area. This route provides access to the Three Peaks away from the usual roads, which are very busy in summer.

An easy hike apart from the length of the walk to Lake Braies. The entire hike is marked with signposts and marker 1.

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.

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.

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!

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.

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 spectacular journey into the heart of the Dolomites. This superb hike takes you to the turquoise waters of Mac de Sorapiss. The main effort is on the outward leg, with a 600-metre climb. The rest of the route is accessible, although the return path (via trail 216) features several vertiginous sections, equipped with metal steps and safety cables. Extra caution is required on these exposed sections, but the view is well worth the effort. A true classic that leaves no one indifferent!

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.
