A rugged refuge
In the distance to our right, sunset bestows a bronze glow on the Three Peaks of Lavaredo, one of the most iconic mountain groups in the Dolomites. Also called the 'Pale Mountains,' the Dolomites are named for the extremely hard limestone that composes them. Hike these trails and you'll get one stunning view after another with each turn of the route. Tuckered out by all the scenery? Rifugios, or refuges—like the Locatelli hut, seen here framed by a shaded Monte Paterno—offer trailside beds for weary trekkers. At least those who booked ahead: Even here at 8,000 feet, tourist season draws sky-high numbers.
