directions:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h4 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>Option 1<\/strong>: Passo Falzarego<\/h4>\n\n\n\n<p>From&nbsp;Falzarego&nbsp;mountain pass&nbsp;(2105 metres \/ 6900 feet) via path no. 441, over Forcella Averau&nbsp;&nbsp;<strong>(3 hours roundtrip).<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<h4 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>Option 2<\/strong>: Cinque Torri+Lake Limedes hike<\/h4>\n\n\n\n<p>From\u00a0Rifugio Gallina\u00a0(2050 metres \/ 6725 feet), around 1 kilometre east of Passo Falzarego, along path no. 419. This\u00a0route runs parallel to the previously mentioned path 441, but pretty soon they merge. I describe this route in my <a href=\"https:\/\/inafarawayland.com\/cinque-torri-day-hike-dolomites\/\" data-type=\"post\" data-id=\"656\">Cinque Torri &amp; Lago Limedes hike guide.<\/a> <strong>(3 hours roundtrip)<\/strong>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h4 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>Option 3<\/strong>: Cinque Torri chairlift<\/h4>\n\n\n\n<p>By taking<strong>&nbsp;<\/strong>the<strong> <\/strong>Cinque Torri chairlift. From the top of the chairlift (2255 metres \/ 7400 feet) follow path no. 439 to Rifugio Averau. You will be able to see the hut straight ahead of you. <strong>This is the fastest way to reach the start of the ferrata. (1-hour roundtrip)&nbsp;<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<h4 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>Option 4<\/strong>: From Giau mountain pass<\/h4>\n\n\n\n<p>I chose to hike from&nbsp;<a href=\"https:\/\/goo.gl\/maps\/5gaCH3B4i7mwo9wu9\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Passo Giau&nbsp;<\/a>via&nbsp;path no. 452.

The tear-inducing 360-degree view of the surrounding peaks is arguably one of my favourites in the Dolomites.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Amongst some of the peaks you can see are the jagged Croda del Lago,&nbsp;Mount Pelmo, Mount Civetta,&nbsp;Tofane Group, and&nbsp;Mount Antelao&nbsp;&#8211; the second-highest peak in the Dolomites.
