Descent to Cortina d’Ampezzo
Sadly, the final day of our trail has arrived. Today, we leave the high mountains behind and hike down towards Cortina d’Ampezzo, a charming town in a broad, sunny valley. Known as a famous winter sports destination, Cortina is the perfect place to end our week.
Sunrise at the top
We woke up at 6 am to watch the sun rise above the mountains. It was absolutely magical. It's like you're the only ones in the world at this height and with those surroundings.
The final descent
After an early breakfast, we began our descent from the mountains. We made our way down gradually through beautiful alpine landscapes. • Distance: 12.5 km • Ascent: 0m • Descent: 1360m
Arrival in Cortina d’Ampezzo
By midday, we arrived in Cortina d’Ampezzo. The town’s charm was a contrast to the mountain trails we had walked. We took some time to have one last lunch together with the other hikers and enjoyed a big pizza and a beer before taking the shuttle back to Misurina. With the option to continue our travels or head home from Misurina, we each made our own plans for the next steps. The journey through the Dolomites has been nothing short of mind-blowing!
