Directions to Città di Carpi mountain hut from Lago di Misurina lake

The hike to Città di Carpi mountain hut starts at the idyllic Misurina lake in the province of Belluno, which is also called the "Pearl of Cadore" because of its clear water and picturesque scenery. At the southern end of the idyllic Misurina lake, the Col de Varda car park has some parking facilities.

This is also the starting point of the wide hiking trail no. 120 in the direction of Col de Varda / Città di Carpi, which climbs in numerous hairpin bends through the sparse forest.

Near the timberline, the mountain trail descends slightly at the foot of the craggy Cadini di Misurina, to finally climb again to Città di Carpi mountain hut. Especially during this last section of the hike, breathtakingly beautiful views of the legendary Sorapis and Marmarole mountains open up.

The return from the rifugio Citta di Carpi mountian hut is the same as the outward route, which now offers dreamy views of the 3,221 m high monte Cristallo.
