Dolomites Day 2

Tuesday, 7 July 2026

We are lucky that we have Zali to get her head around some of the complications of being a tourist in Italy. Turning up in Rome without prebooked tickets would have been a disaster and today we used a prebooked parking pass at Tre Cime which saved us a lot of hassle with busses and remote parking. Our prized parking pass gave us 12 hours of access from 4am this morning and last night we decided it might be good to get to Tre Cime before sunrise.  Given we're 50 minutes drive away sunrise was 5.26am, that meant getting up at 3:50, leaving at 4.15 and starting to walk by 5ish.   Unfortunately it was a bit drizzly and cloudy when we got there so although the views were still clear, the sunrise wasn't anything special. Still, being there early gave us the advantage of having most of the circuit trail to ourselves, and also gave us the rest of the day to recover and prepare for our multiday hike (and airbnb checkout) tomorrow.

The walk itself was great although my legs were tired from the big day yesterday! The views were spectacular of course.
