Cinque Torri
About
Cinque Torri, situated in the north‑western Dolomites near Cortina d’Ampezzo, is a striking cluster of five dolomitic spires that rise to 2,361 m. Renowned both for its dramatic geology and its cultural heritage, the area offers a wide range of year‑round activities: beginner‑friendly ski slopes and chairlifts in winter, and rock‑climbing routes and high‑altitude hiking trails in summer. The historic Sentiero delle Trincee winds its way across the alpine plateau, connecting visitors with the region’s World War I history. With flexible accommodation at nearby rifugi such as Rifugio Cinque Torri and Rifugio Scoiattoli, Cinque Torri is a popular destination for families, ski enthusiasts, and adventure seekers alike.
