Well, I went there for the first time, with family and friends to the Dolomites.
First day we did the Passo Furcia - Kronplatz/Plan de Corones 2275 m trail. Just enough 500 m elevation gain to move the legs after a long drive, past the nice Graziani hut to the summit, where there's everything you could want... well, and of course very, very many people. Followed by a drive to our modest cottage, surrounded by no less than three hotels, where in one the price per person per day was equal to our cottage's daily price. We were very close to Lago di Braies lake, entry to this natural park for day tourists is not possible between 9.30 and 16.00, so you also hand over your vehicle's registration number so you don't have problems during the entry ban period.
Second day we drove to the Prato Piazza 1991 m starting point, toll 10 €, uphill driving not possible between 10.00 and 15.00. Followed ascent to Picco di Vallandro 2839 m, the path is easy to the subpeak, then a slightly harder section to the top. We descended to the Rifugio Vallandro hut, where the others had coffee or rather our youngest tested strudel/pastry at every hut, while I went to the "strudel" Strudelkopf/Monte Specie 2309 m, which is an excellent viewpoint if you have nice weather of course.
For the third day the others chose the path from the cottage to Lago di Braies lake, but I already left in the dark from the cottage to the Croda del Becco 2810 m summit, because I wanted to be on top around 8 o'clock for the views, as clouds gathered quickly every day. From the lake ascent to the summit via Forcella Sora Forno saddle and descent back to the lake via Forcella de Riciogogn saddle. On the summit I alone enjoyed the views of peaks unknown to me.
Fourth day afternoon showers were forecast, so we drove to Prato Piazza once more and this time walked together to Strudelkopf, from which the views were worse this time.
Fifth day the famous Tre Cime or rather how to even get to the starting point when at 8 o'clock there's such a crowd in Misurina that you can barely move and of course forget about driving on the road for which you have to pay 30 € per car, as the upper parking lot was already full. If we saw correctly the road is open from 6.00 to 23.00. Where to now and we were already at Passo Tre Croci 1809 m pass and went to the Rifugio Son Forca 2235 m hut, a very nice hut offering nice views. Hope dies last and around 14 o'clock we went to check Tre Cime once more, there was no ban sign anymore, after a short wait the barrier also opened for us into that crowded kingdom and at 15 o'clock we were already on our circular path.
So we were there for the first time, most likely not the last, next time I'll definitely be first at the Tre Cime barrier, to see them in the morning sun and of course some peak besides, as this time it was more of a family vacation.
