Tre Cime di Lavaredo |
The Great Trans Dolomite Crossing
The guides of the Dolomite Alpine School have given a great deal of thought when putting
together this trek across the best known mountains of the Dolomites. Starting at the
Catinaccio and ending in Sesto Pusteria you will pass by or over well known landmarks like the
Larsec, Sassolungo, Sella, and Fanes groups as well as the famous Three Peaks of Lavaredo,
above Misurina. Most of the time you will trek at about 2000m with an occasional climb up to
3000m.
