We meet in Cortina and hike right out of our hotel for two days of beautiful full day hikes past forests, valleys, and alpine lakes. Our first walk will take us through forests and valleys to the crashing waterfalls of the Fanes River. We continue until we reach the Lago di Limo, the source of the Fanes River. Our eight hour hike finishes right at the Rifugio Lavarella, 2,042 meters in height, our home for the next two nights. The following day we have a 7 hour loop walk in the Natural Park of Sennes/Braies , visiting several rifugi.
