Tre Cime di Lavaredo at a glance
Tre Cime di Lavaredo, the Drei Zinnen in German, are three rock towers that many visitors combine with a day trip from South Tyrol. Most visitors by car use the asphalt toll road from Lake Antorno, about 6 km long, to the car park at Rifugio Auronzo at 2,333 m. The road is seasonal and depends on the weather, and we give no opening dates for 2026.
This page explains the tariffs for 2026, the rules for number plates and rental cars, and the bus from Toblach. It also describes a guided hike with the toll road included and two day trips from Venice that combine the towers with Lake Braies. For the lake, read our page on Lago di Braies. For a day arranged around your own group, see the page on a private tour in South Tyrol.
Our picks: Tre Cime di Lavaredo tours
Our take: the guided mountain hike is the choice if you want to walk around the peaks with explanations of geology and the Great War. The two Venice day trips name Tre Cime in their listings and suit travelers who start there.
Hand-picked tours, booked through GetYourGuide and Viator. Prices are indicative starting prices in euros (as of October 2026). Tap a tour for live availability and the current price in your currency.

Toll road to Rifugio Auronzo
Tariffs for 2026 and how the ticket works.
The tariffs for 2026 are 40 EUR for a car, 26 EUR for a motorbike and 60 EUR for a motorhome. A bus with up to 30 seats pays 80 EUR, and a larger one pays 160 EUR. Booking is online and required. The ticket is valid for 12 hours from the time of entry you booked. A later arrival does not extend it, leaving the car park ends the ticket, and you cannot re-enter on it. Camping gear outside the vehicle is not allowed.
People with a disability who are entitled to it can enter free after registration and a reservation in the available quota. Anyone who plans a hike should still allow time, because 12 hours is a hard limit rather than a day pass to midnight. Read the booking conditions before you pay. The road is open only in the warm season and depends on the weather, so look at the notice from the operator shortly before you travel.
Number plates and rental cars
Enter the plate in time.
The booking asks for the number plate. According to the operator's FAQ you can add or change it until 23:59 on the day before, and only once. If you drive a rental car, enter the plate as soon as you collect the car, and do not count on entering with a plate you have not registered. Read the conditions of your booking before you buy, since changes to the date and time are handled by the operator's own rules.
Car rental in general is explained on our getting there page, which also lists what to check in your rental contract.
Bus 444 from Toblach
An alternative to driving.
Bus 444 runs from Toblach via Misurina to Rifugio Auronzo. It has its own conditions and is not covered by the Mobilcard in general, so ask about the fare when you plan. Check the current timetable before you go, because we give no season dates for the line.
Cortina and the Veneto side
A short pointer.
Many visitors link the towers with a stop in Cortina on the Veneto side. For that part of the trip, see Cortina d'Ampezzo, which covers the town and its surroundings.
Guided hike and day trips
Three ways to see the towers with someone else driving.
Guided mountain hike
The guided tour includes the toll road to Rifugio Auronzo, a guide and a mountain hike. On the way the guide explains the basics of the geology, the history of the First World War and the animals of the area. Extras at mountain huts, bars and restaurants are not included. The pick-up depends on the option you book, so confirm it after booking.
Minivan day trip from Venice
This trip leaves from Piazzale Roma in Venice in a minivan for up to 8 guests with a driver-guide, entry fees at Lake Braies and Wi-Fi on board. Food and drink are extra. In winter a snowmobile ride costs 30 EUR on the day.
Day trip with an air-conditioned vehicle
Another trip with an air-conditioned vehicle also combines the lake and the Tre Cime. Its listing names only an air-conditioned vehicle as included and no start point, so ask the provider about the meeting point and meals before you book.
