During our hike to Cinque Torri, I encountered some of the most breathtaking scenery I’ve ever experienced. The journey started with a tiring hike and soon a ride up the ski lift, gently carrying us higher and higher as the panoramic views of the Dolomites unfolded beneath us. The crisp mountain air was enlightening, and I couldn’t help but feel a deep sense of awe as we approached the towering peaks. When we finally reached Cinque Torri, the beauty of the jagged rock formations, lush forests, and sweeping hills surpassed anything I had ever seen in my life. The sheer majesty of the mountains left me speechless. Walking among the ruins of WWI trenches and reflecting on the history embedded in the landscape only added to the experience. I was so grateful to be able to explore the mountains on my own. It was a mesmerizing blend of natural wonder and human history, making it the most beautiful place I’ve ever visited.

As we left our refugio, we ended up managing to hike down the mountain being careful to not slip in mud. The views were beautiful but this hike was definitely not easy after our 9-hour hike the day before.

After finally finishing our hike to the ski lift, we were able to get on the lift, sit back, and relax with some amazing views of Cinque Torri.

After the ski lift, we were encountered with the most beautiful panoramic view I have ever seen in my life. This view is one I never want to forget.

Looking at the biggest mountain the Marmolada from a different angle was amazing and it felt surreal. Pictures cannot even demonstrate this place’s beauty.

The best time and the most amazing views with my best friend Carolyn!

After dropping our stuff at our new Refugio for the night we went out to explore the open air museum. There, we found some amazingly kept trenches from WWI and explored how it must have been for soldiers during that time trying to navigate these mountains.
