Three Peaks

It's about the proud spelling of a foreign geographical name (e.g. Kalifornija and not California, as it is originally) and has little to do with Slovenes living there.
Another example: New York is written originally, but adjectives are formed phonetically: njujorški, njujorška...
Funny claim that orthography shouldn't cross borders.
And German is written with a small letter...

One is to adapt or Slovenize, another is to create monstrosities. It would make sense "Three Peaks" or something similar.
California-Kalifornija makes sense because of pronunciation. By this logic Tre Cime would be Tri Čime in Slovenian.
Where is the logic in changing the Italian word "cime", which literally means peak, spire... into "cine", which means nothing in Slovenian or Italian.
Like naming California Kaliformija because someone can't distinguish m from n?

Interesting, mountains are already artificial architecture.
Cinque torri are probably Five towers or even barrels...

The road to Rifugio Auronzo is meant more for "tourists" than hikers, so they charge a lot. In Misurina you get free parking. Same on the other side, in Moos. Further from Moos, in "End of the valley" it's 8€/day. But in all listed cases you really walk more.

Well there "hikers" have no big choice. For "tourists" it's divine. nasmeh

Interesting Oleg, how terribly the term "three Cimes" suddenly hit you, given this forum is named that and used here for years. I think it's not degradation of Slovenian, rather Italian.

"Ljubljanogorenjskaslovenščino" we got completely free now - and this deducts all parking and tolls to Rifugio Auronzo - with čimas, cinas, cimas, zinas velik nasmeh

I hope these terms get "adopted" in Slovenian orthography soon - regardless of their South Tyrolean, Venetian, Beneško, German, Italian, or hribi.net origin - otherwise communication on this forum will no longer be possible velik nasmehzavijanje z očmi

I wonder where TRE CINE, TRI CINE come from. Tre cime (three peaks), simple,,,,nasmeh

The answer to this question really is not so complicated. They lie on the border with South Tyrol and the German name Drei Zinnen is also in use.

First time we did this beautiful loop and it seemed quite long to us, which prolonged our admiration of the multitude of unknown peaks we were gazing at for the first time. We didn't make any longer stops, as there really wasn't time for that. We lingered only a bit longer at the top of Sasso di Sesto and with this peak gained quite a few additional views not available on the planned path around the Three Peaks. Among them also the view of the snowy High Tauern, and when you know it adorns this Dolomite world too, everything is even more perfect.

Really wonderful views were yesterday on the north faces of the Three Peaks specifically on the way to Langalm pasture, where they were enriched by golden-yellow larches and thus beautified the perfect image of creation even more. At Col di Mezzo saddle views of distant snowy Zillertal Alps, south to shining lakes Misurina and Antorno.

We arrived in this beautiful Dolomite world via Tarvisio and Tolmezzo the previous day, overnighted at Antorno lake parking with beautiful show of boundless night sky glow, returned through Austria and thus completed a beautiful loop here too.

Maybe just this. All huts on this path were closed, except Auronzo hut at the start or parking.

Nice, especially now when there are no more tourist columns. Otherwise huts there usually are open until first weekend in October, then all close.

Hi, wondering if anyone knows how camping is here as new restrictions this year. Would be happy for recommendations on parking spots where you can sleepover close to starting points. Thanks.

We first visited Val Fiscalina valley last year and really liked it nasmeh. That's why we decided on another visit this year, as it's a good starting point for many routes. Since we don't like repeating the same paths, this time I chose the ascent via Sasso Vecchio valley all the way to Rif. Locateli hut and thus a direct view of Tre Cime. This was followed by a visit to the valley on the opposite side of the mountain ridge, that is Campo di Dentro valley. There is another hut there, this time Rif. Tre Scarperi. This was key for rest before ascending the ridge again on the planned circular route. On it we unknowingly also hiked the summit Monte Casella di Dentro, then followed a deep descent into the original Fiscalina valley and return to the starting point.

At Rif. Locatelli hut it was crowded as usual, except we felt as if we were in Korea velik nasmeh. There really are a lot of Koreans this year, almost exclusively at more touristy destinations. Most are wrapped in wide clothing with long sleeves, hats down to half the back, masks up to the eyes and light gloves. We were already hot with minimal clothing, I don't know how they endure it.

Another thing is the price comparison with ours. At such an eminent location and given the mass visit they could skyrocket, but that's not the case. Half a liter of draft Weizenbier costs less than e.g. a lukewarm can of regular at Prešernova on Stol. But it's exactly the same in Vandeli on Sorapiss, where goods are delivered exclusively by helicopter or on foot with a backpack. Understand who can zavijanje z očmi. More about the entire route in the photo story …

Starting point coordinates (last BUS stop in Fiscalina valley) : 46.6663739N, 12.3537719E
We park opposite the Rotwand gondola. We continue to the starting point by bus, which runs every 10 minutes.1
From the BUS stop we continue along the flat path 102 into the head of the Fiscalina valley.2
There is the completely renovated and very well-maintained hut Rif. Fondovalle.3
This time I choose path 102 through the Sasso Vecchio valley, then path 105 will follow, along which we will go to another valley.4
102 is neither steep nor strenuous, but it is extremely hot from the early hours.5
Recently they have heavily pruned the annoying undergrowth, so it has become more airy.6
Higher up it opens up, even a light breeze slowly awakens.7
Both high-mountain lakes Lago dei Piani, upper and lower.8
Torre di Toblin. Formerly a military observation post, today a destination for many.9
The hut Rif. Locatelli in a unique location in front of the world-famous peaks Tre Cime di Lavaredo.10
The military chapel of St. Bernard right next to the hut. It was built by the Italians in memory of the many fallen comrades.11
After a short rest we set off on path 105, where expectedly there is no one from the many visitors to the hut.12
We will be completely alone until the next hut, which is Rif. Tre Scarperi in the Campo di Dentro valley. It is still quite far …13
We are walking through a wonderful landscape at an altitude of around 2400 m14
The bare mountain in the middle is Croda dei Baranci with a long approach and a beautiful finish15
I'm not sure, but it could be Torre dei Scarperi16
The terrain is undulating with only small ascents and descents17
Some aids have been installed more because of all kinds of visitors than real need18
We follow path 105, this time the one into the valley19
Final break …20
Now only the descent follows, in places quite steep21
The extensive gravel fields in the Campo di Dentro valley are still quite deep22
We descend almost 800 m before we finally reach the flat part23
Here we will take time for a rest before the next ascent24
Friendly hut Rif. Tre Scarperi. We are served immediately, and the prices are quite normal25
The hut is also the destination of many cyclists. The Campo di Dentro valley is closed to traffic for most of the day during the season26
We continue for a while on the glowing hot road …27
Lower down the signs lead us to path 12A28
In the initial part this is comfortable gravel29
This quickly ends and in the greatest heat we ascend the slope30
When we already expect the saddle, the ascent continues31
We come to numerous junctions. We still follow 12A32
After a good 500 m of ascent we are only approaching the highest point33
Here is also the indistinct peak Monte Casella di Dentro, probably more important in the First World War34
A little further on we switch to path 1235
The landscape in this section is extremely beautiful :)36
Numerous larches and green grass are a real feast for the eyes :)37
A well-visible but not too worn path reliably leads us into the valley38
Windthrow, but the path is completely cleared of fallen giants39
Here the original path once ran. The new one is routed considerably higher40
Beautiful peaks :)41
Only the final section lies ahead of us42
This has been brewing for a few hours, but we are safe :)43
GPS track of the hike. 23 km and 1600 m of elevation gained44
