    DAY 2. DOLOMITES: TRE CIME DI LAVAREDO CIRCUIT
    The Tre Cime di Lavaredo is one of the Dolomites’ iconic hikes.

The hike begins at Rifugio Auronzo (2.320 m). A wide, relatively flat trail connects RifugioAuronzo with RifugioLavaredo (2344 m). From RifugioLavaredo, turn left and follow the 101 path upwards towards ForcellaLavaredo (2454 m) and the most iconic rifugio in the Dolomites, Rifugio Locatelli (2405 m).

Join path 105 towards MalgaLangalmrifugio, criss-crossing the flowing creek of Sorgenti del Rienza before arriving at Malga Langalm. The final part of the Tre Cime di Lavaredo hike is fairly easy, following path 105 on a slight incline around the three peaks towards Forcella del Col de Mèdo (2325 m).
