Veneto walks

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.

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.

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.

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 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).

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.

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.

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.

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!

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.

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 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.

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!
