Dolomites, Italy

Tre Cime di Lavaredo

The famous three towers anchor a corner of the Dolomites that works brilliantly as a first hut-to-hut trip: string together the Locatelli, Pian di Cengia and Comici refuges over two or three days and you get iron-grey walls, wildflower shelves and strudel on tap.

Why go

Three colossal limestone towers, one ten-kilometre circuit, zero technical difficulty — the Tre Cime loop is the Dolomites' greatest hits in about four hours. Start from the Auronzo hut (drive or bus up), walk anticlockwise and let the towers rotate through every profile. Refuges en route serve strudel at strategic weakness points. Go early or late in the day; the light is the show.
