The beautiful breathtaking scenery, the endless slopes ( one La Longia 10.5 km long) and the lovely town makes this place the Mecca for ski lovers. No matter how many times you will be there , just the thought of it makes your body crave with expectation. If I will ever know that there is only one ski vacation left in my life- Val Gardena will be the place.

Mount Lagazuoi is located halfway between Cortina d'Ampezzo and Alta Badia. Departing from the Falzarego Pass, the top of Mount Lagazuoi can be reached in 3 minutes with a modern cable car. In summer Mount Lagazuoi offers scenic hiking and rock climbing areas and an extensive Open Air Museum with itineraries through trenches and tunnels from World War I. In winter it boasts spectacular ski runs such as the Armentarola piste, considered one of the most spectacular slopes in the Alps. Being part of Dolomiti Superski ski carousel, Mount Lagazuoi is connected to the slopes of the adjacent ski areas. Lagazuoi EXPO Dolomiti is a brand new location for exhibitions and meetings next to the top station of the cable car and has been designed to highlight every form of art and culture. The Lagazuoi Refuge is the highest and the largest mountain hut in Cortina d'Ampezzo and boasts the most panoramic terrace in the Dolomites and a Finnish outdoor sauna.
We just visited, using the mountain gondola for access. The views from the top are glorious in all directions. Everyone knows this, so the earlier you go the better -- it can get really crowded up here, so you have to adapt. The refuge has a spacious terrace and you can get good quality standard fare. More importantly from my point of view (since hot coffee and chocolate and snacks are all pretty much standard) you can walk along a 'Peace Path' that is easy and lovely, to the nearby Laguzuoi summit. It is a striking and fitting memorial to all those who fought and died along this World War 1 frontier. About 500 meters of easy walking in total. If you get there early and there is not a massive line at the bottom and crowds at the top, this is a must-do in this region in my opinion, and I know the Dolomites fairly well.

Skyway Monte Bianco is much more than a cableway to reach 3,466 meters. It’s an idea: drawing man closer to the mountain and sky, broadening our horizons, overcoming boundaries. Beautiful landscapes to explore and the sky to meet.
During a very hot summer 2018 when everyday temperatures reached almost 35 degrees Celsius we were searching for some refreshment so we decided to make a trip into mountains with a cable car “Skyway Monte Bianco”. With one ticket costing almost 50 Euros (both ways) it was not a cheap attraction, but it was definitely worth this money. We were lucky with the weather what allowed us to enjoy splendid mountain panoramas. Most of the time the top of the Mont Blanc was hidden in the clouds but there were many other beautiful views we could admire from the open panorama deck or from the restaurant in the covered gallery one level below. The terrain around the upper station was covered with snow and the outside temperature at that height was below 0 Centigrade what together made right conditions for getting some refreshment during that hot summer. Of course we were equipped with warm jackets but we were happy to have a cup of coffee sitting inside the upper station and watching the mountains around through glass windows. At the lower mid-station it was much warmer therefore we spent much time walking outside.

Emblematic of the Dolomites and absolutely spectacular. The tour around the Tre Cime took us about 4hours of easy hike (although fully in the snow, and quite slippery) from and to the parking lot. Should be more like 3 hrs in summer. Incredible photo opportunities along the way. Yes parking access is expensive but so is maintaining infrastructures at this altitude. Must do.

After several years we finally attempted it and did it! Great day of skiing 25 miles. Watch out for the “alternative” route though which involves Black runs!

Lecco's clock tower is the second highest tower in Italy and one of the highest in Europe. Now it's possible to visit it, in some days and only with reservation, thanks to the project that aims to revalue this monument. It will be a unique experience that will lead from the full of history basement of the tower up to the terrace on top of it from where you can admire a full 360 view of the city, the lake and its mountains.
We didn't climb this impressive tower, but we spent 3 days in this beautiful city. It makes a very good base for visiting Lake Como. We loved Lecco with it's lake promenade, gorgeous views, nice streets and buildings... This is a city where I would love to live.

Drive up the mountain pass and take a chair lift which brings you directly on top of this plateau and enjoy that beautiful panorama view which differs completely in every direction! The WWI open air museum right underneath the Cinque Torri spikes is an absolute must-do and will take you about an hour. Don't forget to have a drink on the mountain shelter's terrace and enjoy the view!
