The hike from Valle Campo di Dentro (Innerfeldtal) to the Tre Cime di Lavaredo is one of the most scenic and peaceful approaches in the Dolomites region, offering a beautiful ascent through forests, alpine meadows and dramatic high-mountain terrain. Starting from the quiet valley near San Candido, this route is ideal for hikers seeking a less crowded yet highly rewarding experience with an experienced hiking guide in the Tre Cime area, combining natural beauty, steady elevation gain and spectacular mountain views.
The trail begins with a gentle approach through larch and spruce forests before gradually opening into wide alpine pastures framed by the rugged peaks of the Sesto Dolomites. As the path climbs toward Rifugio Tre Scarperi, the landscape becomes increasingly wild and panoramic. The ascent is moderate but continuous, making the Valle Campo di Dentro hike a great option for active hikers wanting a more immersive and quieter alternative to the classic Auronzo route, while still enjoying the characteristic limestone scenery of the Dolomites region.
As the route reaches the higher basin toward the Dreizinnenhütte / Rifugio Locatelli area, the iconic north faces of the Tre Cime di Lavaredo appear suddenly and dramatically. This approach offers a unique perspective, revealing the legendary towers from a different angle than most visitors experience. With open ridgelines, sweeping valleys and magnificent views of Paterno, the Cadini range and the surrounding Tre Cime area, the final stretch is among the most scenic in the Alps.
For hikers comparing routes in the region, the Valle Campo di Dentro ascent stands out for its tranquility, natural diversity and rewarding transitions from forest to high-alpine terrain. With expert guidance in pacing, navigation and safety, the guided hike from Campo di Dentro to Tre Cime becomes one of the most memorable and authentic full-day experiences available in the Dolomites region, offering a perfect combination of challenge, beauty and iconic mountain scenery.
