Spring, Summer, Autumn
The playgrounds in Auronzo are ideal for families who choose the Dolomites for their vacations with children.
The playgrounds are distributed in strategic and beautiful places, immersed in the nature that characterizes the entire resort of Auronzo di Cadore. Along the shores of Lake Santa Caterina, in the heart of the town, there is a playground with slides, swings, small walls to climb. During canoe competitions it is a gathering place for families of competitors, spectators and visitors with children.
Or the playground at Lake Misurina with views of the Tre Cime di Lavaredo. In fact, next to the loop trail surrounding the famous body of water, there is a pulley, slides, swings, seesaws and even a small juggling course. These are some examples of playgrounds in Auronzo, positioned in enchantingly beautiful spots. And there are many other playgrounds in Auronzo by individual operators as well, to make all children and their families feel welcome.
Spring, Summer, Autumn
Auronzo’s Adrenalin Park not only gives moments of pure adrenaline, but real excitement.
The joy of challenging oneself and succeeding. The thrill in letting yourself slide down the pulley rope and the sense of freedom in sliding through the trees as if you were flying. The concentration in moving precisely through obstacles, the satisfaction of coordinating perfectly to reach the end of the course. And the wonder of doing all this embraced by the Dolomites, a World Heritage Site of which Auronzo is home to one of the most famous mountains: the Tre Cime di Lavaredo.
The Adrenalin Park in Auronzo isn’t just child’s play — it’s a real adventure experience for adults too. Worth trying.

Winter
The joy of tobogganing and descending a snow-covered slope is reality in Auronzo.
Whether with friends or on your own, the ride down is a thrill that makes you feel like a child again, bringing back the pure magic of play. The climb up, sled in tow, feels less tiring when your gaze stretches across the breathtaking scenery of the UNESCO-listed Dolomites. And the chance to enjoy a break at a mountain hut — with a homemade dessert or a traditional local dish — adds an extra touch of pleasure to the fun.
Among many possible activities in winter in the Dolomites this is one of the most “slow” and sustainable. You conquer the difference in altitude little by little walking in the snow and enjoy the descent even more. Our heart has all the time to build memories made to stay.
In addition, for the less trained and for younger children, there is the possibility of ascending on a snowmobile, for an adrenaline trip on the trails of the Dolomites, then enjoy the descent in toboggan company.
The Unesco Dolomites
The Dolomites of Auronzo are a true natural wonder, the perfect setting for an unforgettable family holiday. A UNESCO World Heritage Site since 2009, these mountains enchant visitors with their jagged silhouettes and pale rock faces that reflect the light in spectacular ways. The magical phenomenon of enrosadira, when the peaks glow in shades of pink and orange at sunset, captivates both adults and children in every season.
A family holiday in the Dolomites offers countless memorable experiences: easy hikes through forests and alpine meadows, relaxing days by Lake Santa Caterina, fun at adventure parks, visits to welcoming mountain huts, and scenic walks along the trails around Auronzo. In winter, the snow brings even more excitement, with sledding, ice skating, and first turns on skis.
The iconic Tre Cime di Lavaredo — a natural symbol of the Dolomiti UNESCO World Heritage — fascinate not only for their beauty, but also for the history and geology they hold. It’s the perfect opportunity to introduce children to the wonders of nature, through legends, fossils, and fairytale landscapes.
The lakes of auronzo
The lakes of Auronzo di Cadore provide enchanting settings, perfect for a family holiday surrounded by nature and the peaceful atmosphere of the Dolomites. Beyond their charm and history, they offer a wide range of activities designed for both adults and children alike.
Lake Santa Caterina, in the heart of Auronzo, is known for its international canoe races, but it is also the ideal place for a day outdoors. The surrounding ring trail is perfect for family walks, with playground, panoramic bars and spectacular views of the Dolomites.
The famous Lake Misurina offers a breathtaking view on the Tre Cime di Lavaredo and many family-friendly activities: you can walk on the loop path, have fun in the large playground, climb with the chairlift Col de Varda, rent pedal boats, MTB or e-bike, and enjoy typical dishes in local restaurants.
Finally, the Lake Antorno, near the Tre Cime, is perfect for a relaxing walk, with shores accessible even to the little ones. Here you can breathe a fairy-tale atmosphere, between nature, relaxation and cinematographic curiosities: some scenes of Jurassic World Dominion were shot right in this magical corner.
Family activities
The alpine pastures of Auronzo di Cadore are the ideal setting for authentic family holidays in the name of nature, tradition and relaxation. Immersed in the Dolomites, these places preserve ancient knowledge and offer genuine experiences to share with young and old.
During the summer, the mountain huts allow families to meetwith cows and horses at pasture, discovering the traditions of the alpine pastures. Children can observe the animals on the high-altitude meadows, while parents taste local dishes and products prepared with ingredients from zero kilometers.
The huts often house local handicrafts, such as carved wooden objects, wool and wrought iron, telling with simplicity the culture of Auronzo. The views are breathtaking, between dolomite rocks, forests and clear skies. And with a bit of luck, you can spot squirrels, roe deer and deer, for the whole family to marvel.
