Monte Specie: a Dolomites hike facing the Tre Cime
Guiddy Difficulty Levels
Intermediate Plus
Description
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 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.
Why come
- the Tre Cime di Lavaredo seen head-on, not from the side
- a 2,307-metre summit with no equipped sections
- Rifugio Vallandro, a stop halfway along
- Cristallo, Cadini di Misurina and Croda Rossa in a single view
Who it suits
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.

Alessandro
⛰ Hi! I'm Alessandro, 35 years old, and I live in the heart of the Dolomites, in Cadore. I'm a Mountain Hiking Leader (Collegio Guide Alpine del Veneto) and UIMLA member, with a degree in Sports Science, an MTB guide and... a sommelier too! Yes, because after a hike, a good glass of wine always hits the spot! I love experiencing the mountains in all their forms: from trekking to trail running, all the way to mountain biking adventures. For me, moving through nature is pure energy, discovery, emotion. Sharing all of this with people is my mission: whether it's on a scenic trail or through the woods on a bike, the goal is always the same — living authentic, active and rejuvenating experiences. See you on the trails... or maybe over a good glass of wine! 🍷🚵♂️🌲
