Auronzo di Cadore Essentials

Auronzo di Cadore serves as the primary gateway to the Tre Cime di Lavaredo, the iconic three peaks of the Sexten Dolomites. The area is centered around Lake Misurina, the largest natural lake in the Cadore region, situated at 1,754 meters above sea level. High-altitude mountain huts like Rifugio Auronzo and Rifugio Vandelli provide access to the Sorapiss circuit and technical climbing routes. The landscape is defined by the jagged spires of the Cadini di Misurina and the 3,221-meter summit of Monte Cristallo.
