Ring of the 5 Torri starting from Passo Giau visiting the Averau Refuge, the Nuvolau Refuge, the Scoiattoli Refuge and the 5 Torri Refuge
From Passo Giau begins one of the excursions considered among the most panoramic and evocative of the Ampezzo Dolomites: the tour of the Cinque Torri is a very exciting ring trek, characterized by a succession of splendid panoramic sceneries that overlook the most remarkable and characteristic mountain groups of the fantastic Dolomites.
It winds along 4 well-known alpine refuges (Averau, Nuvolau, Scoiattoli and 5 towers) and climbs, for those who wish, up to the scenic top of the Monte and Rifugio Nuvolau, the latter characterized by a fabulous 360° absolutely vast panorama ed, charming. Furthermore, since it is a relatively simple route, with a not exactly excessive positive difference in height, it can be tackled by anyone with a minimum of physical and technical preparation in a mountain environment.
From Passo Giau, behind the hotel-restaurant, take path 452 on the left to reach the Averau and Nuvolau refuges. Subsequently, we descend to the Scoiattoli refuge and enter the Dolomite complex of the Cinque Torri. After having passed the refuge of the same name, we continue along trail sign 443 to return to the starting point again.
