General presentation
Dolomites of Cortina
Iconic area of the Dolomites, between turquoise lakes, passes, rocky needles, refuges and panoramic roads.
Tre Cime di Lavaredo, Lac de Misurina and Cinque Torri give the most telling landmarks of Dolomites de Cortina. Together, they form a destination where mountain reliefs, shores and lakes and natural spaces meet, with atmospheres that change over the course of the stages rather than just one uniform decor.
