    Why visit the Sexten Dolomites? <\/h2>\n\n\n\n

    The Sexten Dolomites are a hiking paradise.<\/strong> With well-marked hiking routes, easy trails and multi-day hikes, and nature that will take your breath away. It’s a great place for all ages, from singles to families.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

    There are four peaks in the Sexten Dolomites that are over three thousand metres above sea level, including the highest peak of the Dreischusterspitze. Nevertheless, the most famous peak remains the Tre Cime Peaks with the highest peak, Gro\u00dfe Zinne, only one metre short of 3,000 metres.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

    The most beautiful places in the Dolomites: Tre Cime di Lavaredo <\/h2>\n\n\n\n

    Tre Cime di Lavaredo<\/strong> is located in the Tre Cime Natural Park and is undoubtedly one of the most beautiful places in the Dolomites<\/a>. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

    These are three iconic limestone peaks listed as UNESCO World Heritage Sites. <\/strong>Tre Cime di Lavaredo is the most famous symbol of the Dolomites and if you are a lover of mountains and hiking, you should not miss a trek in this national park.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

    \"tre<\/a><\/figure>\n\n\n\n

    Moreover, you can make many unforgettable treks from here. You can choose from shorter routes suitable for families with children or full-day hikes with overnight stays in mountain huts. In this article, we will show you some tips for hiking trails in the Tre Cime area.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

    Good to know:<\/strong> Italian and German are spoken in the Sexten Dolomites. You can come across different names for the park – Parco Naturale Tre Cime di Lavaredo in Italian or Naturpark Drei Zinnen in German. Hence the different markings for the shields themselves – Italian Tre Cime, German Drei Zinnen. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

    When to visit Tre Cime di Lavaredo? <\/h2>\n\n\n\n

    The best time to visit the Dolomites is from mid-June to the end of September, when most of the alpine huts open. The exception is the Rifugio Auronzo, which is usually open from the end of May.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

    If you want to avoid the crowds, visit Tre Cime di Lavaredo <\/strong>in June or September. We were here in mid-July and the parking lot was almost full in the morning. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

    If you arrive early in the morning, the journey up to the peaks will be much smoother – you won’t have to dodge buses or caravans in the opposite direction in the narrower sections. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

    Parking at Tre Cime di Lavaredo<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

    If you want to drive as close to the peaks as possible, the parking lot is right under the Rifugio Auronzo hut next to Tre Cime. <\/strong>You can get here by the high mountain road, which is toll road (more info below) – parking at the top is free. In summer, there is usually valet parking.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

    The car park is also suitable for caravans and buses. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

    \"parking<\/a><\/figure>\n\n\n\n

    If you want to save money on parking, you can park near the toll gate and Lake Antorno<\/strong>. There is a free parking area here, from where you can head up one of the trails. The ascent to Tre Cime takes about 1.5 to 2 hours. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

    Another option is the Fischleintal car park in Sexten<\/strong>, which is a perfect base for hiking in the surrounding area. Tre Cime can be reached in 2.5-3 hours. The parking fee is 15 \u20ac for the whole day. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

    If you’re not going to the peaks and just want a view from afar, head to the parking lot called Drei Zinnenblick<\/strong>. It is located in a valley a short walk from Tre Cime and offers beautiful views of the peaks and the surrounding area. The parking fee is 2 \u20ac per hour. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

    All car parks are marked on the map at the end of this article.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
