About Parco Naturale Tre Cime
Parco Naturale Tre Cime, situated in the Dolomites of northeastern Italy, is renowned for its striking limestone peaks and breathtaking alpine landscapes. The park is named after the distinctive Tre Cime di Lavaredo, three towering peaks that serve as a magnet for rock climbers and sightseers alike. The park covers a diverse ecological range, supporting a variety of flora and fauna including marmots, golden eagles, and the edelweiss flower. Established in 1981, the park also bears historical significance, as its rugged terrain formed a strategic front during World War I. Today, it is a paradise for outdoor enthusiasts offering famous long-distance footpaths such as the Alta Via 1 and 4. Visitors marvel at the panoramic viewpoints, the vivid wildflowers in summer, and serene reflections in mountain lakes.
