In this final episode of Hiking in Dolomites we did another quite popular trail – Tre Cime di Lavaredo loop. It is an 11 kilometers hiking trail that goes around the famous three rocks following the rocky mountain paths. It is an easy level hike that everybody can do. Even though it is situated quite high up in the mountains, it has only several uphills and downhills but they are not very steep, most of the time it goes along the side of the hills and mountain plains. It is a wonderful trail to do if you are not feeling like doing any challenging routes but still want to enjoy…

We got up very early that day as we knew that the day is going to be hot and we had to conquer 2600m mountain. So we planned to do that in the first half of the day till 11 am and then start to get down. The night was extremely warm again and we didn’t have to wear any warm clothes.

Switzerland is too expensive!? Is it for real? | Day 10 of TMB from La Fouly to Champex-Lac
It was one of the warmest nights that we had, we didn’t even put on our warm hats which is a big deal because we’ve been doing it during the whole trip. We got up very early to be able to do the biggest part of the trail as early as possible. So we wrapped everything up and got on a trail. We knew that it’s going to be a hot day by how blue the sky was and the strong sunlight right from the morning. Also seeing the weather forecast for a week it was all clear and sunny days. We wanted to get to the village Champex La…

Wild camping struggle in Italy?! Is it even possible? | Day 7 of TMB to Courmayer, Rifugio G. Bertone
The morning of that day was very cloudy and chilly with lots of humidity and wetness in the air. It was one of the first cloudy mornings on the trail. We woke up quite early at 6 am and were just chilling out in the tent for a while. We were so grateful for the privileged location that we camped in yesterday evening. The views from the site were incredible with the massive rocks and waterfalls coming down from them right in front of us. It was so beautiful that Angelina even got desire to draw a quick sketch of this view just for the souvenir sake. We got out…

Crossing from France to Italy in the snow of the Alps | Day 6 of TMB from Les Mottets, France to Plan de Veny, Italy
The day started at 6am in the morning when our alarm took off and we wanted to get up early to be able to conquer the mountain early in the day. The night was calm and only the cow bells were heard. We saw that there was another tent close to ours probably set up later in the evening. Because really that was the only flat spots in the area on the ruins of some old buildings. The day promised to be warm and sunny with no clouds on the horizon. But when we checked the weather forecast earlier it was said that it can be a thunderstorm later in…

Wild camping is allowed on Tour de Mont Blanc in France? | Day 5 of TMB Chalets de Raja- Les Mottets
We waked up to a sunny windy morning in our wild camping spot and we don’t remember if we slept well or not cause we were so tired but we did remember that we were sliding down the sleeping pads all night long. The slope was too steep apparently and we couldn’t do nothing about it. We felt so sore and tired from yesterday’s adventure that we hardly could get out of our tent. We knew that we are not going to conquer another mountain today but we still needed to progress forward. So we had our breakfast and started to go downhill. We planned to be searching the wild…
