The most impressive mountain area in the Dolomites, the Three Peaks of Lavaredo, owns its fame to the village of Sesto, an attraction for hikers and mountain lovers alike. We enjoyed a discovery trip in this wonderful valley, where we can see still nowadays the signs of the disorders of WWI and where nice and friendly people tell us about their birthplace.

The Three Peaks of Lavaredo in South Tyrol are the symbol of the Dolomites. Situated in the eponymous nature park, since 2009 they have been a UNESCO World Heritage site, together with the other Dolomites peaks. We’ve captured the magic of this place from the bird’s eye view. Enjoy a fantastic natural highlight!
Blossoming meadows and high peaks in the background: the just 4.5 km long scenic Val Fiscalina valley is the ideal destination for pleasant hikes at the foot of the Sesto Dolomites.
Alpine meadows bursting with flowers and beautiful larch trees, mighty peaks, a natural, calm environment where mountain refuges are scattered amongst paths with varying degrees of difficulty, all leading to different destinations - that’s the Val Fiscalina valley at the entrance to the Three Peaks Nature Park . A only 4.5 km long valley with a curious name and a unique beauty behind the village of Moos in the Valle di Sesto valley.
The Three Peaks of Lavaredo need no presentation, we’ll let the pictures speak for themselves! We spent a night near the Rif. A. Locatelli mountain hut (2,450 m a.s.l.) to record the most famous landmark of the Dolomites in this time-lapse video.
Surrounded by summits unparalleled in their beauty, we travel back in time. Whoever makes their journey through the spectacular Dolomites can easily forget the hard battles that were fought here almost a 100 years ago during WWI. Many soldiers lost there lives here. Trenches, tunnels and other remnants can be viewed at the open-air museum “Bellum Aquilarum” on Mt. Croda Rossa.
Tobogganing fun in the Upper Val Pusteria: nestled between San Candido and Sesto, a family-friendly toboggan run lies in the snow-covered Valle Campo di Dentro valley. After an hour of winter hiking to the Rif. Tre Scarperi mountain hut (1,635 m a.s.l.), the pleasant toboggan ride can begin. An adventure for the whole family!
Winter hiking in snow-covered mountain landscape - the area around the 1,636 m high Passo Monte Croce di Comelico mountain pass between the Via Pusteria valley and the province of Belluno has a lot to offer for passionate winter adventurers.
The impressive rock formations of the Three Peaks of Lavaredo, which were formed over 200 million years ago, attract visitors from all over the world. Wrapped in a white snow mantle, the Three Peaks of Lavaredo in the eponymous nature park fascinate with their unique beauty, which is best expressed from a bird’s eye view.
The municipality of Sesto stretches from the entrance of the valley at San Candido up to Passo Croce and does not only comprise the main village S. Vito/Sesto and Moso, but also several mountain hamlets. The highest point of the municipality is the Cima Tre Scarperi with 3,152 m asl, even if much more famous are the Tre Cime di Lavaredo, attraction for visitors from all over the world.
Sesto is located in the Three Peaks Nature Park, where also the famous “Sundial of Sesto”, a series of mountains that are allocated like a sundial, is located. In winter the Three Peaks Dolomites ski carousel in the Sesto Dolomites casts a spell over its visitors, while the meadows at the Croda Rossa, the romantic Val Fiscalina and the Tre Cime di Lavaredo attract people mainly in summertime. Particularly famous and popular is the tour round the Tre Cime di Lavaredo in the World Heritage site of the Dolomites. There is also a special attraction for families: at the Croda Rossa, there is a bunch of reindeers, in winter they often even make a walk on the slopes.
Mountain bikers might be familiar with Sesto due to the Stoneman Trail, which was created by Roland Stauder. A real challenge, even for the toughest mountain bikers.
