Some summer paths are accessible to mountain-bikes, provided nature and other hikers are respected.

One itinerary not to be missed starts from San Vito di Cadore; ascend to the start of the chairlift at San Marco; take this to Refuge Scotter; from here continue to the end of the forest track and then descend pleasantly for about 6 km.

Another interesting itinerary leads is the so-called "Tre Laghi Tour", included in the 15 mountain bike itineraries in and around Cortina d'Ampezzo.

A highly scenic and level pedestrian road runs through the village for 6-7 kilometres. The track is paved and well lit and is mainly suitable for children and elderly people. A wide network of trails, accessible even to push chairs, runs across the valley and offers the opportunity for a large number of easy naturalistic and cultural walks.

Trekking enthusiasts will find a lot of marked trails of different rating, from easy rambles to long, demanding walks or even the Vie Ferrate (technical climbing routes equipped with iron cables for support). The trails will lead you to discover the natural beauties of some of the most famous mountain groups of the Dolomites: Antelao, second in height only to the Marmolada; the Sorapis whose opposite face reflects into the lake of Misurina; the Pelmo, crossroads for the Valle del Boite, the Val Fiorentina and the Val Zoldana; the Marmarole ridge, sung by Giosué Carducci in his famous "Ode to Cadore".

Expert guides are available if you wish to be escorted.




Even without any mountaineering expertise, you may still enjoy a short hike from one mountain inn to the other, along the famous Alte Vie (high level hiking routes) of the Dolomites and visit sites rich in historical interest as the burial site of the Man of Mondeval (5000 BC) or the dinosaurs' prints dating back to 200 million years ago.

The mountain inns nestled in the most scenic spots of the surrounding mountains are over 50. Headstarts for the most demanding hikes, they offer a rich variety of local specialities and the opportunity to relax while lying in the sun at higher elevations.




The most important date in the yearly calendar is the "Festa dei rifugi", a weekend celebration organised by the mountain huts that takes place from 7-8 September.

Every year the end of the summer season is celebrated with music, food and drink and every refuge offers individual gastronomic delights, some of which handed down from one generation to the next.
