- The Cinque Torri is one of the most recognizable rock formations in the Dolomites. It is a popular hiking and rock-climbing destination, but it is also an open-air war museum, with trenches and bunkers that remain from World War 1.
Like all the other mountains in the area, the Cinque Torri is made of dolomite, with a particular pale grey color. The group of rocks is formed by five towers (which give the name to the mountain) with a maximum elevation of 2,361 m.
The views of the nearby mountains are jaw-dropping. Each of the towers has a name. The largest and most prominent is named Torre Grande. The remaining towers are named Torre Seconda, Torre Latina, Quarta Torre, and Quinta Inglese.
Hiking around the Cinque Torri was one of the easiest and as much as we want to keep the pace up, we have to take it easy and slow down, since Melissa is pregnant. Nevertheless, it's one of the most beautiful hikes we did in the Dolomites, and we definitely enjoyed the stunning view from the "Five Towers" Cinque Torri.

Thank you so much for this video. It really brings an adventurous spirit into us all. That's exactly what I needed to see in those moments, since I used to be a big traveler and adventure guy, I lost some myself somewhere along the way. Thanks to your creativity and willingness to share your adventures, I feel like the traveling lion is awakening within. Thank you and wish you the best :)
Just found your channel! Heading here today and found this helpful. Thanks! 🤙🏽😉
Glad it was helpful!
This hike is like stepping into a real-life adventure novel! 🏔 The Cinque Torri's mix of history and nature makes it an irresistible exploration. It's amazing how the echoes of World War 1 still linger in this beautiful landscape. 🌄 Mauricerynders8130, your insights are gold! 🙌🏼 Those rocky paths demand good shoes, and that path up the Torre Grande sounds like the ultimate climb. Feeling inspired to plan my adventure now! 🗺💪
Your conclusion at the end of your hike was correct. You definitely need good, sturdy hiking shoes for such a hike. There are too many lose rocks on those paths that can mess up your ankles. Hats off to the lady, for taking on the challenge while expecting. 👏🏻👍🏻
You wondered where the path led. Well, I've been there a few times as a kid, and I can tell you that in the middle of the largest tower (or the one that is split in the middle; the Torre Grande) there is a path for advanced hikers or regular mountaineers, that will get you all the way to the top. It’s not a very strenuous or dangerous climb, but you’ll definitely will need some previous experience and much better shoes. I must’ve been 8 or 9 when I went to the top, so it should be doable for adults.
Warming: There are no fences, or so, on the top, so stay away from the edges.
As for Cortina d’Ampezzo, it definitely is a bustling town during the summer and ski seasons. It IS very expensive, though, so, if you go during summer, there are several large campgrounds nearby, that will stretch your budget much further.
Hello! Which month was your visit? Thanks! :)
We went in late May.
