Immerse yourself in nature – idyllic mountain lakes, lush alpine meadows, green forests, and the legendary Dolomites accompany you on a journey through three breathtaking Nature Parks. It‘s no coincidence that the Dolomites have been declared a UNESCO World Heritage Site. Your adventure begins at Lake Pragser Wildsee, where the crystal-clear waters reflect the snow-white walls of the majestic Seekofel. Just when you think the scenery can’t get any more spectacular, the trails above Cortina d’Ampezzo offer panoramic views of some of the Dolomites’ most dramatic peaks: the towering Cristallo group, the striking spires of Mount Tofane, and the rugged summits of the Fanes range all compete for your gaze. Of course, no journey through the Dolomites would be complete without a visit to the iconic Drei Zinnen (Three Peaks). And to cap off your experience, you’ll discover the wonders of Sesto – a valley renowned as the home of legendary mountaineers and mountain guides.
This is an easy and accessible hiking tour through well-marked trails. It is suitable for anyone in good basic physical condition and climbing experiences are not necessary. The tour is suitable for children from the age of 12.
