Sospirolo walks

Lago del Mis is a little gem nestled between two peaks of the Belluno Dolomites. Its steep banks offer few opportunities for hiking and enjoying the crystal-clear waters. However, at the mouth of the Val Falcina, in the middle of the southern shore of the lake, a nature trail has been created. It starts from the beach at Pian Falcina and climbs up to the heights above. In about an hour, you reach the bottom of a valley where the stream has carved out pleasant pools, then return to the starting point via a trail that follows the flooded bed of a branch of the lake. The route is dotted with information panels explaining the geological and ecological context of the Val del Mis.

Valbelluna is a wide valley stretching for around 50 kilometres at the foot of the Belluno Dolomites. It is bordered to the south by a pre-Alpine massif reminiscent of the Vosges, which contrasts with the verticality of the Dolomites. The proposed route takes you up from a dark valley to the mountain pastures on the ridge. And from up there, what a view of the Dolomites, the Venetian plain and the sea in the distance!

A short, easy hike to discover a beautiful waterfall. The hike starts in Alleghe and follows the lake. Be sure to wear proper hiking boots, as the end of the hike is on a small scree slope.

Medium to difficult hike. No technical sections but 800 metres of elevation gain. The start of the hike is located in a ski resort, so the first part follows a piste. The hike then arrives at Col dei Baldi (it is possible to arrive directly here by cable car in high season and "only" climb 450 metres). The last part of the hike connects the Col dei Baldi to Lago Coldai on a rocky trail that climbs for about 3 kilometres and 450 metres of elevation gain.

One of the most beautiful hikes in the area, in our opinion. At the foot of the Mondeval massif, equipped climbing routes. So many marmots that you can see them everywhere, especially in the valley before the first pass. Option to continue to the Col della Puena. Many options for returning if you have arranged transport.

A very lovely walk in the Dolomites with views of the Cinque Torri. The ascent of Monte Nuvolau offers an incredible view, at the cost of an extra 150 metres of elevation gain.

This hike will take you close to the Cinque Torri, five stone towers overlooking the Cortina d'Ampezzo valley, and follow in the footsteps of the conflicts between Italian and Austro-Hungarian troops during the First World War (trenches, barracks, etc.). The passage by the magnificent Lake Limides will offer you a refreshing and bucolic break.

A beautiful hike ending at a magnificent cirque and rocky peak... but you have to earn it! Almost 900 metres of elevation gain (and therefore the same on the way back) straight up to the summit, much of it in the river bed on scree. The route is slightly different on the way back, with a section through the forest to avoid going back down the scree.

You’re on ‘the terrace of the Dolomites’. A stunning, surprising setting – I’ll let you discover it for yourself! An easy walk, popular with families. In good weather, there’s a 360° view. There’s a welcoming mountain hut/restaurant at either end of the walk. If you’re lucky, you might see people in wingsuits jumping and flying off the cliff at Sas de Pordoi

This circuit on the eastern slope of the Sella massif is a very accessible loop hike with minimal elevation gain and no major technical difficulties. However, you do need to be in good physical shape. Geologically speaking, it's really cool because the hike passes through rock formations typical of the Dolomites and offers breathtaking views.

After starting on an easy path, sometimes lined with pine trees, you’ll cross the Rosengarten/Catinaccio rock massif via a steep path that presents no technical difficulty. You’ll climb alongside Via Ferrata enthusiasts, whom you’ll leave behind at the pass. A whole new landscape then opens up before you. The route continues through a greener, less steep landscape.

A beautiful circular loop without any lifts, but for experienced mountaineers. The first descent is quite slippery with gravel. The first ascent is a winding path. Some areas may be snow-covered all year round. Follow paths 525 and then 526 carefully.

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.

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.

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!

A superb hike in the Puez Geisler Odle Nature Park, a UNESCO World Heritage Site. This route offers magnificent panoramic views at the foot of the Fermeda, Sass Rigais and Furchetta peaks. At Seceda, a promontory high above the void, you'll witness a spectacular alignment of these peaks, posing for you. At various other points on the loop, you'll enjoy marvellous panoramic views of the Langkofel, Schlern and Sella massifs.

Compatsch is the gateway to the Alpe di Siusi. This mountain pasture, the largest in Europe, offers a breathtaking view of the Dolomites in South Tyrol, Italy. The panorama in the foreground stretches from the Schlern massif, including Punta Santern, to the Langkofel Group, featuring the Langkofel and the Plattkofel. In the distance lie the Sella massif with Piz Boé, and the Geisler massif with Seceda and Saas Rigais. This circular route offers magnificent views of these ‘bellissime montagne delle Dolomiti’.

To the west of the Dolomites, just above the Isarco Valley, there is a rather surreal place. Imagine a plateau covering several thousand hectares, with undulating terrain between 1,800 and 2,400 metres above sea level, almost completely devoid of trees, and dotted with hundreds of alpine barns. And all this is surrounded by several Dolomite massifs rising to over 3,000 metres. Here you can give free rein to your wanderlust, and the suggested route is the one we took to discover the area.

During this circular walk around Monte Bullaccia, you’ll come across several vantage points where you can admire the beauty of the Val Gardena Dolomites and the neighbouring mountain ranges. An orientation board will help you identify the best-known peaks, including the Langkofel, the Schlern, the Piz Boe and the Saas Rigais. You are in the Italian South Tyrol, where place names are given in two or even three languages: Bullaccia in Italian, Puflatsch in German and Bulacia in Ladin (the local dialect).
