I hope you get my sarcasm.&nbsp;The first day starts with a stroll through the Fiscalina Valley. Head south on&nbsp;path&nbsp;no.&nbsp;102&nbsp;from hotel Dolomitenhof. It&#8217;s a wide-access road that hugs the side of many large fields.&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>After another twenty minutes of continually touching the old river bed, the route reaches the Talschlusshuette,&nbsp;the first refuge along the way.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The route then swings past the hut and turns onto path no. 103. You may have noticed some switchbacks earlier on the mountain in front of you; that&#8217;s where you&#8217;re heading. These switchbacks, which have intermittent sun protection, will help you gain most of the elevation of the day.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-gallery has-nested-images columns-default is-cropped wp-block-gallery-2 is-layout-flex wp-block-gallery-is-layout-flex\">\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"683\" height=\"1024\" data-id=\"21984\" src=\"https:\/\/inafarawayland.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/08\/Croda-Fiscalina-Circuit-Autumn-29-683x1024.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-21984\" title=\"\" srcset=\"https:\/\/inafarawayland.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/08\/Croda-Fiscalina-Circuit-Autumn-29-683x1024.jpg 683w, https:\/\/inafarawayland.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/08\/Croda-Fiscalina-Circuit-Autumn-29-200x300.jpg 200w, https:\/\/inafarawayland.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/08\/Croda-Fiscalina-Circuit-Autumn-29-768x1152.jpg 768w, https:\/\/inafarawayland.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/08\/Croda-Fiscalina-Circuit-Autumn-29.jpg 800w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 683px) 100vw, 683px\" \/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"681\" height=\"1024\" data-id=\"21985\" src=\"https:\/\/inafarawayland.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/08\/Croda-Fiscalina-Circuit-Autumn-33-681x1024.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-21985\" title=\"\" srcset=\"https:\/\/inafarawayland.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/08\/Croda-Fiscalina-Circuit-Autumn-33-681x1024.jpg 681w, https:\/\/inafarawayland.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/08\/Croda-Fiscalina-Circuit-Autumn-33-200x300.jpg 200w, https:\/\/inafarawayland.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/08\/Croda-Fiscalina-Circuit-Autumn-33-768x1155.jpg 768w, https:\/\/inafarawayland.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/08\/Croda-Fiscalina-Circuit-Autumn-33.jpg 798w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 681px) 100vw, 681px\" \/><\/figure>\n<\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p>As you go higher, the views back&nbsp;north into the valley&nbsp;improve. If you need an excuse to rest, a photography break will make for one.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Eventually, you&#8217;ll round a corner and see, for the first time, the unobstructed view of Croda Dei Toni (Zw\u00f6lferkofel&nbsp;in German). Zw\u00f6lf in German means 12, so as you can probably guess by now, the mountain is called Zw\u00f6lferkofel because it has 12 separate peaks, much like the Dreizinnen (Tre Cime), which has three distinct peaks (Drei in German means three).<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>German and Italian are the Dolomites&#8217; official languages, and you will often see signs in both languages around the area.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>After around 2 &#8211; 3 hours, you will reach over 700m and be at the doorstep of Rifugio Zsigmondy Comici. This is a great stop to grab lunch, coffee, and cake and enjoy it on the hut&#8217;s terrace with unobstructed views of the Zw\u00f6lferkofel.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>After the break, continue uphill on path no. 101 for approximately another hour until you reach Rifugio Pian di Cengia (B\u00fcllelejochh\u00fctte), your first-night accommodation on this epic Tre Cime Nature Park traverse.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<div style=\"height:70px\" aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"wp-block-spacer\"><\/div>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"cc-m-header-12504222299\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Day_1_%E2%80%93_Alternative_route_Via_ferrata_Strada_Degli_Alpini\"><\/span>Day 1 &#8211;

This option will take 2-3 hours, depending on your fitness level.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Via Ferrata Innerkofler, also known as Via Ferrata De Luca, is&nbsp;drenched in WW1 history. From Forcella Pian Di Cengia, you must head towards Forcella dei Laghi, then Forcella Camioscio.&nbsp;If you were wondering the meaning of the word Forcella, it means saddle.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>After scaling a few protected ledges, the route to the&nbsp;top of Monte Paterno&nbsp;becomes available. It&#8217;s a broad summit attained by a few switchbacks on a well-trodden scree path.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The views at the top are terrible and not worth visiting. Just kidding.&nbsp;I sometimes run out of adjectives to describe the beauty of the Dolomites.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>After checking out the summit, you must descend to Forcella Camiosco and follow the signs for Rifugio Locatelli. You will also cross a couple of hundred meters of tunnel network created by the soldiers during World War I. It&#8217;s a surreal place.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>I have a separate article describing&nbsp;<a href=\"https:\/\/inafarawayland.com\/via-ferrata-innerkofler\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Via Ferrata Innerkofler<\/a><span style=\"box-sizing: border-box; margin: 0px; padding: 0px;\"><a href=\"https:\/\/inafarawayland.com\/via-ferrata-innerkofler\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">,&nbsp;<\/a>starting at Rifugio Locatelli and ending at Forcella Lavaredo, but since you will be coming from a different direction, I highly recommend that you study the route on&nbsp;<\/span>Tabacco Map no. 010 and the map I provided above.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<div style=\"height:70px\" aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"wp-block-spacer\"><\/div>\n\n\n\n<h4 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"cc-m-header-12504806299\">Entension Day 2: Via Ferrata Torre di Toblin<\/h4>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li><strong>Distance:<\/strong> 2 km \/ 1.2 mi<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Walking time:<\/strong> 1.5 &#8211; 2 h<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Elevation gain\/loss:<\/strong> <strong>ca. 200 m \/ 650 ft<\/strong><\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Via ferrata level: <\/strong>intermediate <\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-gallery has-nested-images columns-default is-cropped wp-block-gallery-6 is-layout-flex wp-block-gallery-is-layout-flex\">\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"683\" height=\"1024\" data-id=\"16726\" src=\"https:\/\/inafarawayland.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/02\/Via-Ferrata-Torre-Di-Toblin-3-683x1024.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-16726\" title=\"\" srcset=\"https:\/\/inafarawayland.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/02\/Via-Ferrata-Torre-Di-Toblin-3-683x1024.jpg 683w, https:\/\/inafarawayland.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/02\/Via-Ferrata-Torre-Di-Toblin-3-200x300.jpg 200w, https:\/\/inafarawayland.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/02\/Via-Ferrata-Torre-Di-Toblin-3-768x1152.jpg 768w, https:\/\/inafarawayland.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/02\/Via-Ferrata-Torre-Di-Toblin-3.jpg 800w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 683px) 100vw, 683px\" \/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"683\" height=\"1024\" data-id=\"16724\" src=\"https:\/\/inafarawayland.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/02\/Via-Ferrata-Torre-Di-Toblin-683x1024.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-16724\" title=\"\" srcset=\"https:\/\/inafarawayland.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/02\/Via-Ferrata-Torre-Di-Toblin-683x1024.jpg 683w, https:\/\/inafarawayland.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/02\/Via-Ferrata-Torre-Di-Toblin-200x300.jpg 200w, https:\/\/inafarawayland.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/02\/Via-Ferrata-Torre-Di-Toblin-768x1152.jpg 768w, https:\/\/inafarawayland.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/02\/Via-Ferrata-Torre-Di-Toblin.jpg 800w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 683px) 100vw, 683px\" \/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"683\" height=\"1024\" data-id=\"21996\" src=\"https:\/\/inafarawayland.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/11\/Torre-d-Toblin-11-683x1024.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-21996\" title=\"\" srcset=\"https:\/\/inafarawayland.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/11\/Torre-d-Toblin-11-683x1024.jpg 683w, https:\/\/inafarawayland.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/11\/Torre-d-Toblin-11-200x300.jpg 200w, https:\/\/inafarawayland.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/11\/Torre-d-Toblin-11-768x1152.jpg 768w, https:\/\/inafarawayland.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/11\/Torre-d-Toblin-11-1024x1536.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/inafarawayland.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/11\/Torre-d-Toblin-11.jpg 1365w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 683px) 100vw, 683px\" \/><\/figure>\n<\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p>In the afternoon, once you&#8217;ve seen all the sights near the Locatelli hut, your next challenge is Via Ferrata&nbsp;Torre di Toblin. It&#8217;s not an easy climb, but with some steady feet, it&#8217;s attainable even for those just beginning&nbsp;their adventure with Italian via ferratas.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>I think the prominent problem people have on this route is exposure. In one section, you must climb a ladder on a rocky cleft, with a decent fall below you (see the photo above of me clinging to that ladder).<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Climbing a secure ladder is easy under normal circumstances, but when it&#8217;s cold, windy, and icy, dangling above a 100m drop becomes mentally more demanding.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The route goes clockwise around Torre di Toblin and ascends its&nbsp;northern side. The descent on Torre di Toblin&#8217;s eastern face is much easier climbing and of a far shallower grade.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>It&#8217;s generally accepted that the eastern route can be done as the ascent and descent as there are multiple safe places to pass groups going in the other direction (unlike the north face).<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>I&#8217;ve been to the summit a few times<span style=\"box-sizing: border-box; margin: 0px; padding: 0px;\">\u2014I even bivouacked up there once! The view is outstanding. I&#8217;ll let the pictures speak for themselves.

Although it&#8217;s very exposed, the route doesn&#8217;t involve any technical climbing. For the most part, it&#8217;s a series of steep ladders going straight up the western faces of Cima Del Cadin.&nbsp;The views of the Fonda Savio hut&nbsp;are especially grand in the approach to the ferrata.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The approach is short. At first, it gains a little elevation directly south of the hut, then drops into and crosses the Ciadin Del Nevaio. This was probably once a vast glacier, but now all that remains is a small and easy-to-navigate snowpack.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Climbing <a href=\"https:\/\/inafarawayland.com\/via-ferrata-merlone\/\">via ferrata Merlone<\/a>&nbsp;is fun and exciting. If you move quickly, you can be at the top in less than two hours after starting. Sitting on the summit after spending a considerable chunk of yesterday admiring this range is satisfying.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The route down is the same as the ascent. Once you get back to the refuge, where you could have left some stuff to lighten your load, you can enjoy a nice lunch before completing the last leg of this traverse.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<div style=\"height:70px\" aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"wp-block-spacer\"><\/div>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"cc-m-header-12504941799\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Day_4_Rifugio_Fonda_Savio_to_Lago_Antorno\"><\/span>Day 4: Rifugio Fonda Savio to Lago Antorno<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li><strong>Distance:<\/strong> 3 km \/ 1.85 mi<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Time required: <\/strong>1.5 h<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Elevation loss: <\/strong>ca. 600 m \/ 1970 ft<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Path numbers:<\/strong> 115<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1024\" height=\"683\" src=\"https:\/\/inafarawayland.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/11\/Tre-Cime-Traverse-Fonda-Savio-1-1024x683.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-22003\" title=\"\" srcset=\"https:\/\/inafarawayland.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/11\/Tre-Cime-Traverse-Fonda-Savio-1-1024x683.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/inafarawayland.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/11\/Tre-Cime-Traverse-Fonda-Savio-1-300x200.jpg 300w, https:\/\/inafarawayland.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/11\/Tre-Cime-Traverse-Fonda-Savio-1-768x512.jpg 768w, https:\/\/inafarawayland.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/11\/Tre-Cime-Traverse-Fonda-Savio-1.jpg 1200w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" \/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p>This is the final section of the traverse, and after what you&#8217;ve been through for the past four days, it&#8217;s a welcome downhill hike on path no.&nbsp;115 to the road.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The car park where the path finishes is almost equidistant between Lago d&#8217;Antorno and Lago d&#8217;Misurina.

The water is scarce in the mountains, after all. <span style=\"box-sizing: border-box; margin: 0px; padding: 0px;\">Please visit my other article for a <a href=\"https:\/\/inafarawayland.com\/mountain-huts-in-the-dolomites-info\/\" target=\"_blank\" data-type=\"post\" data-id=\"641\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">complete list of what to expect when staying in mountain<\/a><\/span> huts in the Dolomites.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<div style=\"height:100px\" aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"wp-block-spacer\"><\/div>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Shop_my_hut-to-hut_backpacking_gear\"><\/span>Shop my hut-to-hut backpacking gear<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<div style=\"height:50px\" aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"wp-block-spacer\"><\/div>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-columns is-layout-flex wp-container-core-columns-is-layout-9d6595d7 wp-block-columns-is-layout-flex\">\n<div class=\"wp-block-column is-layout-flow wp-block-column-is-layout-flow\" style=\"flex-basis:33.33%\">\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large is-resized\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/www.bfgcdn.com\/600_600_90\/502-6161-0211\/osprey-womens-eja-38-wanderrucksack.jpg\" alt=\"\" style=\"width:333px;height:auto\" title=\"\"><\/figure>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-column is-layout-flow wp-block-column-is-layout-flow\" style=\"flex-basis:66.66%\">\n<h4 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Osprey 30+ Litre Backpack<\/h4>\n\n\n\n<p>30-40 litre backpack should be more than enough to pack everything you need for a hut-to-hut trip in the Dolomites with plenty of room for water and snacks. If you can&#8217;t fit in, it means you are overpacking. I am a huge fan of Osprey backpacks and currently own the Eja 38-litre. Osprey has plenty of options in this storage volume range to choose from.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Shop on <strong><a href=\"https:\/\/amzn.to\/3Y6tEq8\" data-type=\"URL\" data-id=\"https:\/\/amzn.to\/3Y6tEq8\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener nofollow\">Osprey Amazon Store<\/a><\/strong> (Worldwide) \/ <strong><a href=\"https:\/\/backcountry.tnu8.net\/B0Pa94\" data-type=\"link\" data-id=\"https:\/\/backcountry.tnu8.net\/B0Pa94\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener nofollow\">Backcountry<\/a><\/strong> (US)<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n<div style=\"height:50px\" aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"wp-block-spacer\"><\/div>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-columns is-layout-flex wp-container-core-columns-is-layout-9d6595d7 wp-block-columns-is-layout-flex\">\n<div class=\"wp-block-column is-layout-flow wp-block-column-is-layout-flow\" style=\"flex-basis:33.33%\">\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large is-resized\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/www.bfgcdn.com\/1500_1500_90\/515-0001-0211\/cocoon-mummyliner-silk-economy-line-travel-sleeping-bag.jpg\" alt=\"\" style=\"width:362px;height:auto\" title=\"\"><\/figure>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-column is-layout-flow wp-block-column-is-layout-flow\" style=\"flex-basis:66.66%\">\n<h4 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Sleeping Bag Liner<\/h4>\n\n\n\n<p>Sleeping bag liners are required for hut stays.

Some huts rent or sell them, but it&#8217;s better to bring your own. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Shop on <strong><a href=\"https:\/\/amzn.to\/3ro8E1C\" data-type=\"URL\" data-id=\"https:\/\/amzn.to\/3ro8E1C\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener nofollow\">Amazon<\/a><\/strong> (Worldwide) \/ <strong><a href=\"https:\/\/backcountry.tnu8.net\/KjzqdN\" data-type=\"URL\" data-id=\"https:\/\/backcountry.tnu8.net\/KjzqdN\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener nofollow\">Backcountry<\/a><\/strong> (US) <\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n<div style=\"height:50px\" aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"wp-block-spacer\"><\/div>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-columns is-layout-flex wp-container-core-columns-is-layout-9d6595d7 wp-block-columns-is-layout-flex\">\n<div class=\"wp-block-column is-layout-flow wp-block-column-is-layout-flow\" style=\"flex-basis:33.33%\">\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large is-resized\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/www.bfgcdn.com\/600_600_90\/104-3820-0411\/patagonia-womens-down-sweater-hoody-down-jacket.jpg\" alt=\"\" style=\"width:300px;height:auto\" title=\"\"><\/figure>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-column is-layout-flow wp-block-column-is-layout-flow\" style=\"flex-basis:66.66%\">\n<h4 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Patagonia Insulated Jacket<\/h4>\n\n\n\n<p>Even in the middle of the summer season evenings can be quite cold.
