Transfer by minibus to Passo Falzarego, the starting point for the Cinque Torri hike, an emblematic historic site of the Dolomites. The trail begins to climb gently.

Advance through a magnificent field of stones and arrive at the foot of Averau, a rocky citadel culminating at an altitude of 2649 meters. You will circle the mountain and soon arrive at the Nuvolau pass. From there, it is possible to climb the summit of the same name. The panoramic view is well worth the 150 m of additional elevation gain!

You will then reach the Cinque Torri, renowned among climbers and a place of major historical interest. They were the scene of violent battles between Italian and Austro-Hungarian troops during the First World War, and the remains of these battles are still visible today.
