Rifugio Auronzo - Rifugio Lavaredo

Access to starting point:
Access from Gorenjska: Via the Rateče border crossing we drive to Trbiž / Tarvisio, where we head onto the motorway in the direction of Videm / Udine. We leave the motorway at the Tolmezzo exit and follow the road to the mentioned settlement. From Tolmezzo we continue in the direction of the settlement Ampezzo and mountain pass Passo della Mauria. The road then starts descending and brings us into the Cadore valley, where we continue right (left Belluno and Cortina d'Ampezzo) in the direction of the settlement Auronzo. After a few additional km of driving, we come to the next bigger crossroad, where we go right in the direction of Austria and Tre Cime (left Cortina d'Ampezzo). We leave the road towards Austria after a further 100 m, because signs for Tre Cime point us right onto a toll mountain road which after 7 km brings us to a large parking lot near the mountain hut rifugio Auronzo.
From the Primorska side: We drive on the motorway which leads via the Sežana border crossing to Trst / Trieste. Further, we drive on the Italian motorway in the direction of Padova, but only to the motorway junction, where we continue in the direction of Veneto and Belluno. Near Belluno the motorway ends, and we continue in the direction of Cortina d'Ampezzo and Auronzo. When the road brings us into the Cadore valley we will come to a bigger crossroad, where the road to Cortina d'Ampezzo goes left, and to Auronzo right. Here we continue right towards Auronzo. Further, follow the above description.

Path description:
At the mountain hut Auronzo we head onto the macadam road which leads towards the mountain hut Lavaredo slightly towards the east. After approximately 20 minutes of walking on a very panoramic road which leads below the mighty walls of Tre Cime we arrive at the hut Lavaredo.
