Auronzo Dolomites
Auronzo di cadore
The Tre Cime di Lavaredo are easily accessible on foot, by bus or by car.
In this guide you will find out how to get to the Tre Cime di Lavaredo, including options with public transport, train, plane, hiking trails and all information on parking, map and tolls.
For those wishing to reach the Tre Cime entirely on foot, without taking the bus or driving along the toll road, there are numerous options.
These routes are not simply shortcuts, but proper mountain hikes. Before setting off, always check the difficulty, estimated hiking time, weather conditions and return options. Often, however, the journey is even more rewarding than the destination, revealing valleys, forests, mountain passes and landscapes far from the busiest trails.
The area has several mountain huts, ideal for stopping for a break or lunch during your hike. Always check their opening dates in advance.
During the summer, buses and shuttles allow access to the parking lot next to the Rifugio Auronzo, under the Tre Cime di Lavaredo, without using your own car.
Useful tip
During the busiest periods (July and August), avoid taking the bus from Misurina, where long queues and waiting times may occur. Plan your journey from Auronzo instead and choose one of the first departures in the morning.
