Itinerary
-
This circular hike traces a quiet arc from the Carnic Alps to the Friulian Dolomites, crossing the Three Peaks of Lavaredo and the Friulian Dolomites Nature Park. You'll walk high alpine trails, sleep in mountain huts, and move through landscapes that see far fewer visitors than the main Dolomite corridors.
-
You arrive in Tolmezzo and settle into your hotel. The town sits at the foot of the Carnic Alps, so use the afternoon to check your kit, stretch your legs, and rest before the walking starts tomorrow.
