Lagazuoi is very different compared to a typical hike. The path leads through many tunnels built in the mountain. It's an unforgetable adventure.
Hike description From Passo Falzarego follow the path 402. After a bit of strenuous ascent you will reach a crossroad. Go to the left for the trail leading through tunnels. To the right there is a classical hiking path.
This whole hike should take you around 90 minutes. Tunnels are also very educative and you'll find a lot of interesting information at the boards. There is a very picturesque mountain hut at the top - Rifugio Lagazuoi. Consider spending a night here to capture the sunset and sunrise. The price is around 52€ per person in a dorm room.
