T EDITORIAL The right time to look he Dolomites are not conquered: you get to know them. Those who arrive in a rush see a postcard; those who stay one hour longer find that the rock changes colour with the light, and that the silence of a lake at dawn is worth as much as a summit. For this issue we chose four well-known places and told them with a simple idea: arrive early, walk slowly, sit down at the table without hurry. Happy reading, and happy trails.

C TRE CIME DI LAVAREDO ima Grande, Cima Ovest and Cima Piccola: three towers that look drawn. Cima Grande reaches 2,999 metres and, since the Dolomites became a UNESCO World Heritage Site (2009), the landscape has been protected as a shared heritage. The circular route starts from Rifugio Auronzo and passes Rifugio Locatelli: it is long, scenic and suited to those who walk regularly. The secret is to set off early and stop where the view opens up. “Mountains are not to be looked at: they are to be listened to, one light at a time.” THE LOOP IN NUMBERS Length about 10 km Duration 3–4 hours Elevation gain about 400 m Start Rif.

A LAKE BRAIES t 1,496 metres above sea level, in the Fanes- Sennes-Braies Nature Park, the lake changes mood every hour: grey on foggy mornings, turquoise when the sun climbs over the Croda del Becco. The walk around the lake is easy and takes about an hour. The traditional wooden boats can be rented next to the old Boathouse. OUR TIP Arrive at dawn or at the end of the day: in the middle hours of high season the lake is very busy and car access may be regulated. Check the latest rules before you go.

F SECEDA · ALPE DI SIUSI rom the top of Seceda (2,519 m) the Odle ridge opens like a curtain: vertical walls above almost unreal green pastures. You go up from Ortisei by cable car, then walk among the alpine huts. On the other side of the valley, the Alpe di Siusi is the largest high-altitude alpine meadow in Europe: a sea of grass where you can stop and look at the sky without any hurry. A meadow, a hut, a rock wall: that is enough. The Alpe di Siusi with the Odle · Wolfgang Moroder · CC BY-SA 3.0 09 Q U O TA 2 0 0 0
