Route description
- From the Bai de Dones car park on the road from Cortina to the Falzarego Pass, take the 5 Torri chairlift up to the Scoiattoli hut (2,255 m).
- Five minutes from the hut the open-air museum begins. Between the towers are restored trenches, shelters and artillery positions of the Italian army from the First World War.
- The Giro delle 5 Torri loop (M5c) circles the whole group of towers and passes the Rifugio Cinque Torri hut. According to the operator it takes about 2 hours. The map shows only the main paths from the station to the trenches and the hut; the waymarked loop winds around the towers on the ground.
- The loop ends back at the Scoiattoli hut and the chairlift top station.
Good to know
Shorter options
The museum also has shorter loops: the Upper Trench (M5a, about 20 minutes) and the Trench Trail (M5b, about 30 minutes). They suit younger children.
Footwear
These are stony mountain paths; even the short loops need sturdy shoes.
With the card
The Dolomiti Supersummer Card covers the lifts in all twelve valleys without limit.
Why “easy”
Blue trail: wide paths, gentle climbs.
