This is the start of the most amazing mountain experience of our lives. In two days, we’ll show you guys how crazy beautiful Northern Italy is by doing three drastically different hikes that blew. Our. Minds.

We woke up bright and early and drove through forests and mountains to arrive at our first destination: the Tre Cime di Lavaredo trailhead. The vast sunrise colours completely took our breath away and we jumped right of our rental car to spend half an hour just admiring the 360-degree view of the mountain ranges, the clouds below us and the gorgeous sky on fire. Before we even started the hike we were greeted with a view we couldn’t get enough of!

The Tre Cime loop is one of the Dolomites’ most popular hikes, known for its elevation and the unique peaks called the three chimneys. Our first morning in Italy was off to an astounding start!


Our second hike started from the same point that we started Tre Cime at the Rifugio Auronzo but headed away from the three chimney peaks. We did this on the same day as it was a short there-and-back hike to this insane viewpoint of the Towers of Mordor. This one is called the Cadini di Misurina and it definitely had a few spots that tested our fear of heights.

The next morning, we woke up to a foggy atmosphere but still headed to our third hike which is actually right between the town of Cortina and Tre Cime. This is the trail to Lago di Sorapis, a glacial lake known for its bright aqua blue colour and the mountain peak in front of it. But this hike, for us, was not highlighted by our final point but by the conditions we were graced with along the way.
