Four days of adrenaline and pure adventure discovering the highest altitudes of the Dolomites, where the power and beauty of the peaks are manifested in all their splendor.
We will visit Lake Braies, a unique pearl in the Alps, and reach some of the surrounding peaks that verge on ‘altitude 3000’. These include the Croda del Becco, which overlooks and guards the lake from 1300 metres above, and the Picco di Vallandro, which dominates Dobbiaco valley. We will then cross the magnificent Landro Valley to admire the striking colors of Lake Landro, some of the most impressive peaks of the Dolomites and a breathtaking view of the Cristallo Group.
A true all-round mountain experience, blending all the ingredients of a perfect alpine adventure.

Day 1 – Pragser Wildsee Lake and Val Foresta
Lenght: 10 km
Elevation gain: 400 m
After settling in at the hotel, we will set off on foot for the initial trek, dedicated to the first jewel of the Fanes-Sennes-Braies Nature Park: Lake Braies, a crystal-clear body of water that takes on a thousand hues, from azure to blue to emerald green.
We will then enter the Val Foresta to admire the surroundings of the alpine lake and enjoy a gourmet break-meal at the Malga Foresta.
Day 2 – Croda del Becco
Lenght: 19 km
Elevation gain: 1550 m
On this second day, rested and regenerated after a breakfast according to the “local tradition,” we will set off for the spectacular ascent on the Croda del Becco (Seekofel), part of the Croda Rossa d’Ampezzo group, between the Natural Park of the Ampezzo Dolomites and the Braies Dolomites.
In a loop hike, along a route for true adventure enthusiasts, we will first reach the Forca Sora Forno and then, along the summit ridge, the summit of Croda Del Becco (at 2810 m above sea level), with the large summit cross overlooking the north face that literally plummets 1300 meters to Lake Braies. A unique, unusual and exclusive view of Lake Braies, with a truly priceless all-around panorama of the Dolomites. The long descent to Val Foresta will complete the route, allowing us to return to the lake and the starting point.
Day 3 – Picco di Vallandro
Lenght: 10 km
Elevation gain: 900 m
The third day will take us to the top of one of the most beautiful panoramic peaks in the Dolomites, the Vallandro Peak (Dürrenstein), which at 2839 m boasts a place of honor in the entire Braies Dolomites complex. The credit for this reputation goes to the spectacle that awaits those who make this fascinating hike at the summit: one of the most complete panoramas the eye can embrace, from the Three Peaks of Lavaredo, to the Croda Rossa d’Ampezzo, to the Cristallo group to name but a few of the highlights of this astonishing world-famous mountain range.
Day 4 – Landro Valley – Rienza Valley – Locatelli Mountain Hut
Lenght: 12 km
Elevation gain: 950 m
The last day of trekking will take us into the Three Peaks Nature Park. We will start from the Landro Valley, full of some of the wildest views in all the Dolomites, with destination Locatelli mountain hut at 2450 m above sea level. We will then cross the Rienza Valley, accompanied by the soothing sound of the water of the Rienza stream as we alternate between open and more wooded areas. Here and there, the guest stars of the day will begin to peep over the horizon, but only when we have reached our destination will we be able to enjoy them in all their grandeur as we enjoy lunch: we will in fact be in the presence of one of the most beautiful rock architectures in the world that only the Dolomites are able to give, the Three Peaks of Lavaredo.
