It is only 35 km from Pieve de Cadore where I stay to the famous ski resort of Cortina d’A. Driving there you will pas many little townships and finnaly on the right you will see huge rocky pyramide of Mt Antelao – it is more then 3200 m high!
Cortina is elegant resort with the center closed fot moto traffic. Just near the nice basilica you will find the tourist office distributing good maps.
It is definitely worth to continue from Cortina in the direction of Toblach for the views and turn right to the Lake Misurina locared at the bottom of high peaks.
You are now close to the icons of the Dolomites: 3 Cime of Lavaredo – 3 rock pillars are on the postcards and posters. If by car – it costs 24 euro for the last 6 kms to the car park. Then you need about 3,5 hours to walk around the pillars. I did not – there were thick fogg – they have a webcam to check the current situation.
Once back in Pieve I climbed Monte Ricco – little peak overlooking the valley. From the fort on the top there is nice view of the dam and the artificial lake.
