Tre Cime di Lavaredo - Dolomiti di Sesto
From mountain lodge to mountain lodge in the heart of the Dolomites
The beauty of the Dolomiti di Sesto is fascinating, because of a huge variety of different rock formations and peaks. The "vie ferrate" (Italian for: Iron Roads) lead you over exposed rock shelves, past steep walls, over ridges and through grooves. Admire the Tre Cime of Lavaredo, the best-known peaks of the Dolomites, towering to almost 3,000 m!
HIGHLIGHTS: Fascinating views of the Tre Cime di Lavaredo; intensive experiences in the Dolomites; a variety of different "vie ferrate"; cosy mountain lodges; on the traces of World War I.
