    I live in the Dolomites. During the last few years they have become more and more crowded. If someone wants to have very nice landscapes too and more peace, I suggest visiting the eastern part of the Dolomites in the Veneto and Fruit regions. The Alta Via is the number 6 "Dei Silenzi" (of the silence). Real wilderness...

      @@tieinwithTee I live in the Dolomites too. March is good for winter sports. We have snow still and often there are late snowfalls that make the mountains dangerous due to avalanche risk. If you go hiking or skiing then check the avalanche warnings. I am today, April 24, at 2000 meters and it is snowing. We just had 30 cm of fresh snow😊.

    I visited the Dolomites in 2022 and stayed in Rifugio Lagazuoi and Rifugio Fanes! The view and the hike between these two Rifugios was one of the most beautiful ways I have ever hiked in the Alps. Especially the view from Rifugio Lagazuoi will forever have a special place in my heart. Thank you for taking me on a trip down memory lane ❤
    My tips if you want to do something like this: train before hand, pack enough water and as little luggage as possible. And if you never been hiking and you are not sure how to do it, there are many Bergschulen (traveling experts who specialise in hiking) where you hike in small groups with a certified mountain guide. I did this myself and it was without doubt one of the best experiences of my life.

I did an easy hike leaving from Ortisei called the Tre Cime di Lavaredo...and would probably have needed to be airlifted out (after your hike to the completely booked rifugio and you missed the cable car) so kudos to you for being resilient and brave enough to keep hiking to the second rifugio!

    Congratulations to you for achieving your goal of completing this hike through the Dolomites. I tried accessing the website of one of the Refugios but no success. I believe some of the Refugios have very poor internet connections. I would like to stay in Cortina d'Ampezzo, use that town as a base and drive to Seceda and Tre Cime di Lavaredo. If you have been to those sites, do you have any advice? Did you use any GPS track apps maps, online or offline, to help navigate your hikes? Wish you the best in your future travel adventures. BTW what time of the year did you do this hike. It appears warm.
