Cinque Torri Tours
In northeastern Italy, close to the Austrian border, the Dolomites form a stunning mountain range of jagged peaks, dramatic spires, and picturesque valleys. The group of five tower-like rocks outside the town of Cortina d’Ampezzo, called the Cinque Torri, is one of the most famous attractions in the Dolomites and offers an array of outdoor recreation opportunities.
The Basics
Visitors flock to Cinque Torri in winter for the stunning landscapes, and ski slopes to suit all ages and skill levels. Discover the dramatic scenery of the Cinque Torri area by joining a guided ski tour from Cortina d'Ampezzo, or explore the region with snowshoes or cross-country skis.
In summer, visitors can hike the circular path around the Cinque Torri and view the remnants of Italian trenches and artifacts from World War I. The popular Alta Via 1 trekking route passes right through Cinque Torri and several refugios (Italian mountain huts) offer plenty to eat and drink and a place to stay on the mountain. The five towers also offer many beginner-friendly bolted climbing routes.
