Morning departure to Misurina Lake with the incredible view of the Three Peaks of Lavaredo. Stop for photo. Continue by car to the Auronzo Refuge, the starting point of your circular trek around the Three Peaks-Drei Zinnen, the bizarre and striking alpenstock belonging to Sesto Dolomites. Due to their special shape, they are considered the symbol of the Dolomites. The circular trek will take to the Lavaredo and Locatelli refuge and give you the chance to spend and unforgettable day on this beautiful mountain range. Lunch will be at a refuge along the way, which will give you the opportunity to taste the local mountain delicatessen. Return to the starting point – Rifugio Auronzo – and continue to Lake Dobbiaco, another important lake in the Eastern Dolomites. Continue our tour with the grand finale for the day, Lake Braies with its incomparable views and turquoise calm waters. Time to discover the lake on your own, perhaps by renting a row boat or just sitting by the shore taking in the last view or the reign. Return to Bolzano.

This is a medium difficulty trek, where hiking shoes are required. Walking time is about 4 hours, with a total distance of 9.5 km and 400 mt altitude gain.
