If you are in Corina you have to check out some trails and I went to the website of the Lavaredo UTMB and picked the 20k (12 miles) course, the only one I could have completed.
Nice and difficult, with about 4k ft (1,000 meters) of vert climb - and it starts and ends on Cortina downtown.
Totally fantastic, recommended to all. Very hard climb, especially starting mile 3 with some lunar landscape and gravel. But also starting at mile 5.5, with the proper attack to Forcella Zumeles (forcella means "fork", as it acts as a narrow passage to the top of the plateay), full of switchbacks.
It is very dramatic when you get closer and closer to the top and the trail gets steeper and steeper, but once you are on top the views are fantastic. From the forcella the rest is pretty much downhill, very enjoyable, with some running on grass and some running on sky slopes. Had to cross two streams but very easy.
