The Best of the Dolomites: Puster Valley - Lake Misurina - Tre Cime di Lavaredo Motorcycle Tours 04-2024 and 09-2025 Puster Valley The Puster Valley (Italian: Val Pusteria, Ladin: Val de Puster) is an Alpine valley running essentially east-west. Most of the valley lies in South Tyrol (Italy), with the easternmost section in East Tyrol (Austria). Hydrogeographically, the Puster Valley does not form a single unit: the western half of the valley is drained by the Rienz River and further via the Adige River system to the Adriatic Sea, while the eastern half is drained by the Drava River and further via the Danube River system to the Black Sea. The Toblach Field, located roughly in the middle of the valley, forms the watershed. Lake Misurina Lake Misurina (Italian: Lago di Misurina) is a lake in the Dolomites in the province of Belluno in Veneto, which takes its name from the village of Misurina. The lake's maximum depth is 5 meters. Located at an altitude of 1,756 meters, it can be reached from the southwest by Cortina d'Ampezzo, from the Höhlenstein Valley to the north, or from Auronzo di Cadore, to whose municipality the lake lies, to the east. It is surrounded by the rocky massifs of the Tre Cime di Lavaredo (Three Peaks), Monte Piana, the Cadini Group, Monte Cristallo, and, further south, Marmarole and Sorapiss. The lake hosted the speed skating events of the 1956 Winter Olympics.[1] [1] Rifugio Auronzo The Rifugio Auronzo (Italian name: Rifugio Auronzo, actually Rifugio Auronzo alle Tre Cime di Lavaredo, former names: Rifugio Caldart, Rifugio Principe Umberto, Rifugio Longéres) is a mountain refuge belonging to the Auronzo di Cadore section of the Italian Alpine Club (CAI) in the Dolomites (Province of Belluno, Italy) at an altitude of 2,320 meters above sea level.

Tre Cime di Lavaredo (Three Peaks of Lavaredo) The Tre Cime di Lavaredo (Three Peaks of Lavaredo) are a striking mountain massif in the Sexten Dolomites, on the border between the Italian provinces of Belluno to the south and South Tyrol to the north. The highest peak in the group is the Cima Grande (2,999 m a.s.l.). It stands between the other two summits, the Cima Ovest (2,973 m) and the Cima Piccola (2,857 m). Besides these prominent rock towers, several other peaks belong to the massif, including the Punta di Frida (2,792 m) and the Torre Preuß (also known as the Piccolissima or Smallest Peak, 2,700 m). Since the first ascent of the Cima Grande in 1869, the Tre Cime di Lavaredo have been among the most sought-after summit destinations in the Alps for climbers.
