🇮🇹 HOW IS THIS POSSIBLE! Lagazuoi Tunnels ITALY 🇮🇹
ฝัง
- เผยแพร่เมื่อ 26 มิ.ย. 2024
- Day 18 of our Summer motorhome tour takes us to the Lagazuoi Mountain Tunnels, 9 miles West of Cortina d'Ampezzo in the Dolomites. We get a lift there from Camping Dolomiti and the bus back but a better option would be to stay the night there in your Motorhome (if you have one).
Kit needed: Helmet, Gloves, Torch, hiking footwear. You'll need a reasonable level of fitness as there are a lot of steps. On exiting the tunnels there is some mild exposure for 30 seconds across a ridge but the path is good. If you are not comfortable with heights then we don't recommend the route we took back down but still take the short return trip to Mount Piccolo before descending in the Gondola or 401 the Travenanzas saddle.
As with all Mountain activities be super aware of the weather conditions and only attempt this when the top of the Gondola is visible and the forecast is good.
Here is the GPX link to our route, due to the tunnels the GPX is probably wrong at points but the only wayfinding you need is the path leading to the tunnels, the rest is obvious.

Blimey that looked a bit dodgy in (several) places! Looked amazing, and thanks to you brave (mad) souls we don’t need to climb it now!
Hmmn just one place really that was a bit sketchy!! glad we were able to share the experience with you 😀 cheers...Andy&Michelle
It's just wow wow wow wow ❤
sure is a spectacular place 😀 Thanks Tanya...Andy&Michelle
Wow those tunnels are amazing, thanks for sharing.
Its was such an amazing hike the whole thing😀 cheers...Andy&Michelle
Wow, again. 🙂
Thanks Chris😀 Cheers...Andy&Michelle
Stunning, but I glad you did that so I don't have to :)
You're welcome 😀 we had a great time, cheers...Andy&Michelle
WOW WOW WOW 🤩 loved it viewing from our caravan lounge, rather you than me but what amazing views and an awesome vlog. Great to see the beer, aperol spritz and cake well deserved from the top of the world. From your kiwi friends D&D x 🇳🇿🏔
So pleased to hear you loved it, we really love this one too. Yes and we managed to get a full house of food and drink on this one!🍺🍹🧁🍰 cheers...Andy&Michelle🇳🇿❤️
I’m happy to call Italy my home. It has everything and I’m glad you’re showing your past experience so people can see how beautiful Italy is.
We love Italy, the Dolomites is our all time favorite place and every time we go back we find more beautiful adventures. You have a wonderful country😀🇮🇹 Cheers...Andy&Michelle
Just thinking how easy it is to slip suddenly on steep paths with loose rocks has given me vertigo from watching 🤣
Definitely need to concentrate on terrain like this, and not be talking to camera!! 🤣 Cheers...Andy&Michelle
I'm glad you did that 😁 I appreciate you sharing, no way for me, thanks for sharing, all the best Mark and Sue xx
Not even the Cable Car up and back down? it's so beautiful up there 😀 cheers...Andy&Michelle
Incredible .... our map just got a few more dots added :)
By the way .. have you guys been to Norway .. we spent 12 weeks in the van there last year .. simply incredible for hiking .. biking and van tactic ness ... is that a word (or 3) ... expensive ... yeah .. but the views are free so it balances itself out :)
That one needs a big dot😀 one of the best in the Dolomites, you’ll probably be adding another when you see next Monday nights video😀 cheers…Andy&Michelle
Amazing video. Thank you.😮
Glad you liked it!😀 cheers…Andy&Michelle
Wow fantastic both of you👏👍This is a must do. Hopefully get some amazing clear conditions like you guys on our upcoming trip..🙏⛰️🇮🇹😎💙
Thanks, glad you enjoyed it😀 to be honest this might not be open in June due to remaining snow in the tunnels. It's still worth taking the cable car up and having a walk around if its clear though. There are so many great hikes in Cortina you will be spoilt for choice. The video coming out next Monday is from Fanes waterfall which is an absolute must. Hire yourself a via Ferrata kit and try this easy grade A/B, you won't be disappointed. Also have you seen this? Fantastic info in it www.dolomiti.org/storage/13857/Cortina_Sentieri_Hiking_Map_web.pdf cheers...Andy&Michelle
@@ExtremeMotorhomingAdventures Thank you very much for this information regarding the walks and the link map for the area. Look forward to the next video 😎⛰️🇮🇹💙Cheers Andy & Debs
wow i was looking for this right now cant believe i found it right as it was posted lol
Fantastic! 😀 just one word of caution if you are planning on going now (end of May) the tunnels can be still full of snow this time of year. Cheers...Andy&Michelle
Did that 20 years ago and looks just tha same . good reminder . Laughed when you said about going down scree on your bum as on that same holiday you had to decend a steep bit on your bum. A lady had designer shorts on so to save them off they came and slid down in her knickers..
We want to do it again and explore all the tunnels off the main one some day 😀 a lady taking off her shorts and sliding down in her knickers would have given us a viral video!! 🩲 🤣 cheers...Andy&Michelle
I do actully have the incident on video but will just keep is as part of our holiday memories and not share her underwear with the world.
That does look like a fantastic day out, I'd love to do that 👍
It was! It had everything!! 😀 Cheers...Andy&Michelle
😲🥰
😀 Thanks Alan...Andy&Michelle
Thanks for sharing, will do the tunnels with the dogs but opt for the moderate descent - that one section could be tricky….
Yes the descent wouldn’t be possible for dogs as there’s a couple of climb down sections, I’ve no idea if dogs are allowed on the tunnels, I’m assuming you have athletic dogs😀 the refuge at the top is dog friendly according to to google😀 cheers…Andy&Michelle
@@ExtremeMotorhomingAdventures one way to athletic dog. I’ve checked that he’s allowed.
@@clairewilliams3549 perfect 😀 you'll have a great time there. Tonights video is a good dog friendly hike from Cortina too
Amazing - went up there last year on the last day of a cycling holiday but the weather was rank - you’ve inspired me to try that descent though !! How long did that take you ? 👍
Great to hear we've inspired you to try the descent, it took us 1hr 20mins but we were on a mission to get the bus so just under 2hrs would be reasonable. Cheers...Andy&Michelle
That looked terrifying 😮
Can I ask what make your Ebikes are my husband and I want some ready for our summer Dolomite trip 😊
It was a great adventure, one of our favourites😀 Our ebikes are a 2018 model (Giant Dirt ePro+), they are discontinued now but you will be able to find something equivalent. Key buying choices in my opinion are 250W motor, min 500Wh Battery and drop seat. When we change our bikes we will go for full suspension next time to give a better off-road ride. If you haven't seen it we made a review of our bikes: th-cam.com/video/VW3mMVVVI9E/w-d-xo.html We would also consider other big brands next time like Cube, Specialised, Trek as well as Giant. Cheers...Andy&Michelle
@@ExtremeMotorhomingAdventures Wow thanks for the info. It’s great to know what we will need to do the adventures you’ve been on. We looked at the cubes last week. The full suspension is amazing. The husband now wants to do the Lagazuoi Tunnels 🙄wish me luck!
Quick question 🙋♂️
Heading to dolomites next week. Is this a recent video… if so What is the weather currently?
Hi, this was filmed in September 2023. Early in the season Cortina will still have a lot of snow around on the mountains, Cortina itself is higher than Snowdon so if the weather isn't good you'll be in the clouds but if you get a clear day its wonderful. We've been there in the past and had to move south to somewhere like Riva del Garda / Arco while we waited for the sun to shine on Cortina, Cheers...Andy&Michelle
Also...have you seen this? great info in there: www.dolomiti.org/storage/13857/Cortina_Sentieri_Hiking_Map_web.pdf
Correct me if I'm wrong but doesn't Via Feratta usually mean yr clipped onto the wire for safety ? 🤪
Where do you find al of these EXTREME adventures 🚐💨❤
There was only one 20m section out of the whole hike where clipping on would have been reassuring so not worth carrying the kit! 🤣 The adventures just seem to find us, I guess we go to the places where there's interest and seek out them on maps / campsite reccomendations / google. After returning home I found this, enough here to keep us busy for a season! www.dolomiti.org/storage/13857/Cortina_Sentieri_Hiking_Map_web.pdf Cheers...Andy&Michelle
