Cadini di Misurina Mini-Trek

Duration: 2 days
Trails: T3 trails
Distance: 10 - 15 km per day
Ascent per day: 500 - 1000 m ascent per day

> Make more of your visit to Cadini di Misurina
> Spend the night in the authentic Rifugio Fonda Savio
> Conquer the Sentiero Bonacossa, a beginner via ferrata

This quick 2-day mini hut-to-hut trek allows you to make more of your visit to Cadini di Misurina and, if you set your alarm, be the first there. Some mountain experience is required as the Sentiero Bonacossa is a via ferrata route, though considered suitable for beginners. This trek includes a stay at Rifugio Fonda Savio including half-board.

Doing multi-day treks is not for everybody. But the best way to experience the mountains is to spend at least a night in them. A bit too much? You can skip the Sentiero Bonacossa by taking the same way back from Rifugio Fonda Savio and by taking the regular route to Cadini di Misurina from the Rifugio Auronzo side.

Itinerary

Day

Rifugio Auronzo - Lake Misurina - Rifugio Fonda Savio

Duration: 04:30 h
Distance: 11.4 km
Ascent: 590 m
Descent: 590 m
While everyone at Rifugio Auronzo is getting ready for their short trek to either the viewpoint of Cadini di Misurina or to Forcella Lavaredo, you are doing exactly the opposite thing and are hiking to Lake Misurina. This lake is known as the Pearl of the Alps and is the largest natural lake in Cadore. Enjoy something to eat at one of the few hotels at the lake and enjoy the views over the turquoise water. Don’t linger because you still need to make your way up the mountain. A gradual easygoing hiking trail will take you away from the lake and bring you to higher ground. The last few kilometres are steep but well-marked and will take you past some of the peaks of the Cadin group. Great food at Rifugio Fonda Savio awaits you.

Rifugio Fonda Savio - Cadini di Misurina - Rifugio Auronzo

Duration: 02:15 h
Distance: 4.5 km
Ascent: 230 m
Descent: 270 m
Daytrippers to Cadini di Misurina can’t reach Rifugio Auronzo before 7:00. There is no one stopping you from going to the Cadini di Misurina viewpoint even before that time. You can be one of the first ones of the day and even take in the sunrise. But be careful because the trail to the viewpoint is not for the fainthearted. This is the Sentiero Bonacossa, which is categorized as a beginner via ferrata. A climbing helmet is advised, and if you don’t have a head for heights, a full via ferrata kit is recommended for extra safety. You first drop down on quite a treacherous trail. To get back to altitude, you will zigzag on a technical rocky trail, guided by a steel cable. Eventually, you will see the viewpoint on your right. Well done, you’ve given yourself the ultimate reward for this challenging hike: the most epic viewpoint in the Dolomites. After taking all the photos you can, you can enjoy a somewhat easier hike down to Rifugio Auronzo. Tip: If you have time, take this opportunity to hike to Forcella Lavaredo. Just follow the crowds. It’s worth it!
