Dolomites are one of my favourite mountain areas, and the best way to discover them is HIKING!
In this video I'm giving you 3 advices about circular hikes (or round trips, loops, whatever..) to do in the Dolomites.
NOTE: you need to have experience with hiking to complete these trails.
The difficulty is increasing, the first one is relatively simple (but still 900m elevation gain which is no joke), the second one is intermediate and the third one is VERY HARD. I highly suggest you to split the itinerary in two days and stopping at one of the huts you find on the trail (booking required).

Croda da Lago Circuit:
Starting from the road from Cortina D'Ampezzo and Passo Giau (Ponte Ru Curto), you will follow the wonderful Val Formin till Forcella Rossa, then you will cross the Mondeval Plateau to reach Forcella Ambrizzola, Lago Federa, and back to the parking lot. Amazing views of Pelmo, Antelao, Tofane, Sorapis and Croda da Lago of course.

Tre Cime/Croda dei Toni:
Starting from Val Fiscalina (after Moso, Pustertal) you will turn right at rifugio fondovalle, and after a couple hours you will reach Rifugio Locatelli, in front of the spectacular Tre Cime di Lavaredo (Drei Zinnen). Then you will pass below Monte Paterno and will make it to Rifugio Pian di Cengia, then Rifugio Zsigmondy with an incredible view of Croda dei Toni, and then back to Val Fiscalina.

Monte Civetta Circuit:
Starting from Palafavera, Val di Zoldo, You will reach Malga Pioda and then Rifugio Coldai. You will turn left and follow the amazing Sentiero Tivan, with Civetta on your right and Val di Zoldo (amazing Pelmo) on the left. The trail goes up to Forcella delle Sasse, and then goes down till Rifugio Vazzoler. You will keep hiking around Civetta and you will make it to Rifugio Tissi. Spectacular spot to spend the night. Then following the Western face of civetta you will reach Lago Coldai and then finish the loop hiking back down to Palafavera.

I don't know how many times I said WOW watching this, but it was a LOT!!. Your video is unbelievably beautiful!! Please PLEASE do more of these!!! I need to go now, I must go to your link to send a little something to help you on your journeys!!! Thanks so much for doing these

I did the 3 Cime loop last Wednesday, spectacular, tanta roba!! The Dolomites are amazing

[richardlphillips]

Absolutely loved it. For me this is so useful to know hikes where you can do a loop as often when traveling, you hire a car and it's the easiest way to get to these places.

The second trip I have done multiple times. It is really one of the most beautiful valleys imaginable. And it's good to know that you consider it intermediate. That gives me a better idea how these tours scale.
And I can only recommend everybody who wants to see the Tre Cime, to use this tour instead of driving right to the base of them from the south. This way you get a very rewarding hike that is not as overcrowded as the trail from the south.
And the third hike I did with my parents as a child in two legs, just as you suggested. I remember looking down from Riffugio Tissi to Alleghe and the lake. But that is about all I can remember. I was very young.

Grandissimo, sono contento di aver trovato un canale di un italiano che fa questa tipologia di video!

[TehAlex]

Hello! I did the Croda da Lago circuit yesterday. Wow! Thank you so much for the great recommendation! Me and my girlfriend had a great time hiking there. Your content rocks! All the best to you brother.

Thank you for a truly spectacular trip through the Dolomites. Your routes (1 and 2) brought back memories of walks we have done over the years of visiting this wonderful area. More of this type of video, yes please!!

[zoltanlakoyt]

The quality of this video is out of this world. Thanks a lot for uploading. I will try to complete all 3 of these hikes. They are all beautiful. Dolomites is definitely one of the most eye appeasing places in the Alps. You need more recognition for your stunning videos and great effort. Cheers from Hungary.🤞🏼😎

[roseannferrara]

Wonderful and clear video. Thanks for the final hike details at the end of each. Super helpful.

[aprilezell]

Thank you! We just got back from Italy and the Dolomiti ~ did Lake Sorapis and it was magnificent!! Loved this ~ much respect for filming and droning while hiking. It's not easy but we all appreciate it!

[praja]

Please do more Bruno. Especially some of the less technical ones but with good views for older hikers like me. Fantastico!

[garyb]

We had a wonderful week in Fanes National Park a few years ago and watching your videos just reminds me how wonderful the Dolomites are. Cant wait to return

[shuhuadong]

It's just amazing, not only Dolomites, but the whole Südtirol !! Just love it, thanks for this amazing and inspiring video !

[DreamBig]

As a Dolomiti lover, I can just say yes please do so more of these videos. Even if I already did the first two hikes, I still enjoyed the format of your video. Forza Bruno !

[stefanobaccinelli]

Se penso all’impegno che ci metti a fare i tuoi video e alla loro qualità, sono convinto che meriti e sicuramente otterrai molto più successo di quanto tu non ne abbia già adesso. Complimenti!!!

[TrimaranSpiritXL]

I spend every summer hiking and biking the Dolomites and your videos help with what places to visit next so many thanks they're awesome!!

[akyriakop]

Dear Bruno, you and your beautiful channel inspired me and my wife to visit dolomites and to make the trail number 2. We made a big voyage coming from Lesvos island Greece. Thank you for sharing your experience from this amazing place. Keep going!

[davidpetrica]
