WHY THIS HIKE

The Dolomite balcony facing the Tre Cime

There are viewpoints, and then there is Monte Specie. At 2,307 metres above Carbonin, this summit sits exactly opposite the Tre Cime di Lavaredo and frames them as if from a grandstand: around you, Cristallo, the Cadini di Misurina and Croda Rossa d'Ampezzo complete the circle.

The experience

The best part is that getting there asks for nothing extreme. We climb from Carbonin, in the municipality of Dobbiaco, along well-marked high trails crossing the plateau up to Rifugio Vallandro; from there a last stretch of broad ridge leads to the top. Thirteen kilometres and 900 metres of ascent, six and a half hours on easy ground throughout.

We return the same way, with the Tre Cime in front of us for much of the descent. This is the right hike for anyone who wants the great Dolomite panorama without via ferratas or exposed sections.

This is an intermediate hike: 900 metres of ascent and six and a half hours call for trained legs, but the ground stays easy all the way. Bring boots, water and a windproof jacket: at altitude the weather turns quickly, even in summer.

Come with the Guidders: book your place and let's climb Monte Specie together.

HOW TO GET THERE
08:30MEETING
Meeting at Carbonin (Dobbiaco)
We meet the Guidders at the large car park in Carbonin, in the municipality of Dobbiaco (BZ). Introductions, a backpack check and off along the trail climbing towards the plateau. The time is indicative: the exact one is shared in the outing's Telegram group.
11:00MOUNTAIN HUT
Rifugio Vallandro (2,040 m)
The climb brings us to Rifugio Vallandro, set on the plateau with Picco di Vallandro behind it. We stop for a break: the view already opens over the Braies Dolomites and the Cristallo, and the summit is close.
12:00SUMMIT
On the summit of Monte Specie (2,307 m)
A final stretch of broad ridge takes us to the top of Monte Specie. In front of us the Tre Cime di Lavaredo open up head-on, with the Cadini di Misurina, the Cristallo and Croda Rossa d'Ampezzo all around. A long stop for photos and a packed lunch.
15:30RETURN
Back to Carbonin
We descend the same way we came, the Tre Cime in front of us for much of the way down and the afternoon light on the rock faces. At the cars we take the time for a toast before saying goodbye.

Hi Guidders! 🧡 I'm Alessandro, I'm 35 and I live in the heart of the Dolomites, in Cadore. I'm a mid-mountain leader with the Collegio Guide Alpine del Veneto and a UIMLA member, with a degree in Sport Science, an MTB guide and — yes — a sommelier too: after a hike, a good glass is never out of place. 🍷 I live the mountains in every form they come in: trekking, trail running, mountain bike adventures. Moving in nature is pure energy for me, discovery, feeling, and sharing it is the part of the job I never tire of. Panoramic ridge or woodland singletrack, the goal is the same: a real, active day that puts you back together. See you in the mountains, Guidders!
