Cascate di Fanes
This is a hike with a short and easy via ferrata section that goes behind a waterfall. There were many people doing the via ferrata downwards, with bicycle helmets and improvised gear. You might have to wait a long time until you have a clear way to go up. The whole area is a…

Lagazuoi
Here you have a few options. There’s a cable car and different hiking routes, with and without tunnels. These photos are from going up through the Italian tunnel, walking around on top and then taking the cable car. It didn’t look like a via ferrata, more like wire ropes to hold on to while…

Sassolungo
This is the one where they have the coffin cable car. It’s fun but not if you have any hint of claustrophobia. The cable cars stop once in a while and just hang there swinging in the wind for a few seconds. The photos are from a hike after riding the coffins up to…

Lago di Landro
I have only a few pictures from this place, but it was a nice lake on the way between Lago di Braies and Cortina. There’s a trail for a quick walk around the lake. There’s also a big parking space and a restaurant across the road.

Alpe di Siusi
This is from a relatively short hike in a circle from the cable car station on Ortisei side. There’s a lot more to explore on this alpine plateau.

Cir & Gran Cir
This is a combined route where you take a chair lift from the parking by the road and then you can do the Cir via ferrata, with the option of walking over to the next hill and do also Gran Cir. While Cir is an actual via ferrata route, Gran Cir is mostly a…

Seceda
This is one of the big attractions in the Dolomites, for the dramatic landscape and easy access. The route taken here is starting on the Col Raiser cable car, then an easy short hike to the Fermeda chair lift line, which takes you to the same place on top as you would reach on…

Colfosco
This turned out to be a good base location for visiting the Dolomites, more or less in the middle between the two bigger hubs of Ortisei and Cortina d’Ampezzo. There was a supermarket, a few restaurants and a few sports shops.
