As far as the Dolomites are concerned, my experiences:
First about paid stuff: everyone mentions the road under Tre Cime. Yeah, that's paid and hugely overpriced. Last info was about 30 euros, someone else tell what the current figure is. Plus, parking in Val Fiscalina is also paid, 8 euros per day.
But that's the minority. Let me mention other experiences:
- Pelmo: starting point in village Zoppe. Some parking spots in the village itself and larger parking a bit above. Both free.
- Civetta: starting point at pasture Grava. To there by shepherd's road, no real parking lot, park where there's space and not obstructing. Obviously, free.
- San Martino di Castrozza (Pale di San Martino): parking under cable car. Free for lift users.
- Moiazza: parking at pass Duran. Free.
- Agner: bit tricky here. Park in village Frassene, supposedly paid. I was there on a weekday and managed to park a bit above the village. Free there, but very little space. If full, have to go lower, where maybe not free.
- Croda rossa di Sesto: parking at hut Lunelli, free.
- Marmarole: by car either to plateau Pian dei Buoi or right to hut Baion (last part pretty bad road). Obviously, both free.
- Schiara: parking at guesthouse Case Bortot. Free.
- Dolomiti Feltrine: parking in valley Val Canzoi. Right at end parking forbidden, park a few 100m before - free.
In short, I don't quite see what some of you keep repeating, that "everywhere in the Dolomites you pay".

jax, I completely agree with you here. The parking lot, or rather the road to hut Auronzo is really overpriced, elsewhere in the Dolomites I haven't paid parking anywhere so far.

Anyone can serve with paid P, but not with quality hospitality and tourist offer. And we have what we have...

I have a feeling, maybe I'm wrong, that those complaining here are mainly city dwellers who cash in fully there. And that's not controversial for you. 
But under the mountains, locals should welcome you with open arms with free parking lots. Including those who charge you in cities even during work hours. Not in free time, when you can go anywhere. Even where there are free parking lots.
A few years ago it was mostly free, but we could park free in cities too. Good thing there was a delay with paid parking lots under the mountains.

@dprapr, quite possible there are such in between.  But possible too that someone has a quite different view on the whole thing. That simply the attempt to monetize everything nature gave us gets on his nerves. Maybe by his philosophy closer to..."savages", as they called them then...those who didn't want to sell land, because they said "it doesn't belong to them, but to their ancestors and their descendants". And then the modern, advanced European had no choice but to commit genocide on them. The few survivors stuffed into zoos. And from that genocide grew the beacon of democracy, which still today cares for democracy worldwide. If someone happens not to agree, it brings democracy with bombers.
Mountains existed long before man and man existed long before money. But precisely because of money (or desire to - have more and more) will exterminate himself in the end. And long after we're gone...mountains will still exist.
P.s. sorry, I also contributed to the topic straying from Krn  Safe steps to all heading to mountains tomorrow! I'm going to Soča area too.

I have 200m to the first neighbor (brother), so feelings are deceiving You see how they practice tourism when cable cars and chairlifts run even in summer. How right my former colleague was when he said that from every coffee in Soča valley a cent should drop for the cable car to Kanin; it was clear that winter when it wasn't running. Montura is so right and summed up almost everything briefly. He didn't mention only the greed of local sheriffs. Trobec, no worry, Krn is still there

How much whining over a few euros for parking! God help!
Still waiting for a smart explanation why the hell parking should be free.

You have only two options to avoid payment. Don't go or park in the valley. No one forces anyone.

Organized transport to all starting points could be implemented. However, not just from 6 a.m. until 8 p.m. And as one predecessor wrote, for paid parking here you get very little or nothing in terms of hospitality, toilets, tourist info points.

The road is narrow. It is not even really suitable for a smaller bus. Not to mention campers. I had quite a few costs when pulling over for campers. Anyway, it will never be right for everyone. Ten euros per day for parking, which I heard. Unless they lowered it, which I don't believe. Take it or leave it. Everyone should decide for themselves. Otherwise, for Krn there are other starting points. Time will show whether it is okay or not. Anyway, the looks are pulling....

These are modern hikers.
They drive up as far as it goes, honestly criticize every pothole on the road, from the parking spot that must be free, and expect some offer I don't know of what. And someone should watch their vehicle too.
Then comes criticism of the path, which of course is not maintained to their taste, because it is really a shame for the path maintainers if they have to step over a branch somewhere.
It continues with the offer in the huts, which should always be open, with friendly staff, low prices.
They are bothered by those who do not have shoes and other gear matching their expert opinion. Of course, they post that on forums too, for others' education.
For now, they still refrain from criticizing the mountains themselves. Maybe they will soon be improperly shaped too.

Maybe just this, that of course in Italy and Austria everything is so much better.
Misery!!!

No one mentions path maintainers or hut offers. Obviously they read poorly. Yes, they know how to handle things in Italy and Austria in a way that is friendly to all involved, also at a reasonable price.

Society has been raising young people for 25+ years that they are entitled to everything and that the state takes care of everything, and these are the loudest today when you have to pay something outside urban areas, but going there is no problem for them. Whoever has made at least a meter of scarp in their own regime knows what the costs are, but to bring asphalt and other material under Krn additionally increases the matter considerably.
Today I parked at Planina Kuhinja and it was really great when it wasn't full of those who go up just to take selfies

Since I've been going to the mountains, which is really veeeeeery long, I have never once thought: "Ah, how badly they've arranged the path, so I have to work so hard now!"
What a strange attitude to hiking! I can't empathize with that, really not.

And I never grumbled about the offer in the huts either, to be clear, capraibex. I extremely enjoy the mountains, everything else is barely worth mentioning - or not at all!

I completely agree with Trobec. These parking fees aren't normal, I'm not saying parking must be free, but no need to exaggerate either. First 10€ for parking, 20€ gas, coffee at the hut 3€, and nothing extra with coffee.... Usually I avoid huts anyway, but I think it's right to leave some € there sometimes. Well in the future definitely not anymore, I'll bring my own little beer and jota.

The beer you start drinking is equally good in every hut.
