Lake Sorapis
One of the alpine lakes we love. The turquoise color and majestic rock faces give this place an indescribable charm. It can be reached by following path 215 which starts from Passo Tre Croci. If you can, avoid the weekends and the peak season to enjoy its beauty to the fullest!
Cinque Torri & Scoiattoli Refuge
To admire the Cinque Torri you have to go up to the Scoiattoli refuge from the road that leads to the Falzarego Pass. An excursion suitable for everyone that offers beautiful landscapes.
Tre Cime di Lavaredo & Lake Misurina
Even if they are not part of the municipality of Cortina, you cannot miss the Tre Cime di Lavaredo. You can reach Lake Misurina and then drive up to the Auronzo refuge (more than 2000 meters) along the toll road and continue on foot along a path suitable for everyone until you find yourself in front of one of the Dolomite scenarios that we love so much .
Giau Pass
The pass that connects Cortina to Selva di Cadore is one of the most legendary passes of the Giro d'Italia and is very scenic. The panorama from the top of the pass leaves you speechless: the Three Peaks, the Marmolada, the Sella Group, the Nuvolau and other Dolomite peaks are right in front of you.
