This route is one of the most famous in the Dolomites and allows you to explore the entire ring around the iconic Tre Cime di Lavaredo. The departure is from the Rifugio Auronzo (2,330 m), easily reachable by car along an asphalt road with paid parking, by public transport, or on foot from Misurina (1,752 m).
From here, a wide and comfortable path will lead you on the flat to the Rifugio Lavaredo (2,344 m), located at the foot of the Spigolo Giallo della Cima Piccola. After a short stretch with about 100 meters of altitude difference, you will reach the Forcella Lavaredo (2,454 m), from which a breathtaking view of the famous North faces of the Tre Cime will open up, which will accompany you almost to the end of the route.
Once you reach the Rifugio Locatelli (2,405 m), the return is with some ups and downs through the Forcella Col di Mezzo (2,315 m), where the path narrows slightly, but remains safe and free of technical difficulties.
