Tre Cime di Lavaredo

One of the must do days for the visit was to visit Tre Cime, 3 peaks of limestone and it is recognised as a UNESCO World Heritage Site.  The tallest of the 3 peaks, the Cima Grande reaches 2,999m above sea level.  Sadly we were unable to get too close and were not able to see the front on view because of the weather and road closures. Unperturbed by this, we set off on a different view to get as close as possible.  We parked at the side of lake blah blah.  There were quite a few cars there.  None of them had paid for parking, so we assumed that May was out of season, so we didn’t pay either.

It was very kind of them to write directions on the road.

We followed route blah blah in glorious sunshine through a snow-covered forest and small frozen ponds.  There was hardly a soul in sight.  Another advantage of being there in May.  It was actually quite warm.  After approximately XX miles you come to a right turn onto a country road and things start to head upwards.  Even though it is on road, we only saw one car.  The views of the surrounding mountains and countryside were stunning, as we laboured our way up the pretty steep climb.  There was even a little bit of blue sky, which probably lured us into a false sense of security, as the dark cloud were starting to gather behind us.
