In reply to Nyssa. Hi Nyssa, It's impossible to know what the weather/snow conditions will be like in late October. It's different every year. We've experienced both perfect conditions (better than summer) and wintery conditions. I would plan on doing the Tre Cime circuit. You can contact the Auronzo tourist office 2-3 days before to ask about the current conditions and the road. If there's snow, or ice, they close the road leading up to the Auronzo hut. If you can't do Tre Cime di Lavaredo due to the conditions, you could visit Lago di Braies, walk through Val Fiscalina valley, and maybe visit Prato Piazza. Have a great trip to the Dolomites. Warmly, Sabrina

Hi!!
First time visiting Italy and I would really like to do at least one hike in the dolomites! However, I did not know about these amazing hiking spots before planning and buying plane ticket. Our trip would be at the end of October and will be in Tyrol from 27th-29th. I would really like to do the Tre Cime loop hike but I’m a bit worried that there would be snow etc. We would not be packing any hiking poles or spikes bc we are doing carry-on only. Researching more online, I’m just a bit worried that there would be heavy snow in that region. Would like your opinion whether it is doable? Or should I find other hike that would be relative easier and do you have any recommendations of other hikes? Looking forward to your answer! Thank you so much!!

THANK YOU (in capital letters) for taking the time to write all of this. Did the loop today and doing it on the other direction was such a great idea. We managed to be alone for almost half the hike and it made it so much more enjoyable. Did not want to end the day without leaving a short appreciation note. You really made this experience so much better

In reply to Teresa. Hi Teresa, Thank you for reading!! Day 1: Venice - Cortina -Short Hike: Cinque Torri. Also head up to Rifugio Nuvolau (if you have time) -Stay in Cortina Day 2: Sexten/Sesto and Prags/Braies Highlights I would concentrate your time today in the Sexten/Sesto and Prags/Braies Dolomites. - Hike the Tre Cime di Lavaredo Loop in the morning and then detour to the Cadini di Misurina viewpoint. - Visit Lago di Braies - If you have more time, head up to Prato Piazza and walk to Strudelkopf. - Stay in Cortina Day 3: Lago di Sorapis You can potentially fit in Lago di Sorapis if you start early enough. With limited time, I would do an out-and-back hike (not the full circuit). More ideas in our Cortina d'Ampezzo guidee. Have a great trip! Sabrina

Love your detailed blogs on these wonderful hiking trails..we are leaving next month and will be based in Cortina for 2 nights (2.5 days) …the first day we will be leaving Venice and driving towards Cortina…can you recommend how we should spend our days there to make the best use of our time? We have never been before and are from the US so I’m unfamiliar with the area. I thought about doing the Cinque Torri loop on day 1 and then heading to Ortisei to hike to Pieralongia…the next day do Lago di Blaise and Tre Cime and not sure about the next day which would only be maybe 5 hours and then leaving..any recommendations? Thanks, Teresa

We have done a few of the hikes you recommend and I agree that this one is tops in terms of ease of access and views. Literally 360 views the entire time. It was crowded even early am…we stayed in misurina to get an early start…but you can understand why. Really incredible. Thanks again for your wonderful blog. you amazing ladies have been our travel companions this summer!
