The Cadini di Misurina are a mountain group in the eastern Dolomites, in the province of Belluno, Italy, overlooking Lake Misurina, about 14 km from the centre of the Dolomites hub in a straight line. They rise west of Auronzo di Cadore, northeast of Cortina d'Ampezzo and south of Dobbiaco. The highest peak is Cima Cadin di San Lucano at 2,839 metres. The name comes from a Cadore dialect word for valleys, referring to the maze-like structure of the massif. The Alta Via no. 4 crosses it, as does an equipped route that starts from the southern shore of Lake Misurina and reaches the Tre Cime di Lavaredo. Its geology allows it to be crossed by several lines. Sharp rock peaks stand like teeth in rank after rank, grey turning orange and pink at sunrise and sunset. From high viewpoints the rock towers rise above deep valleys and green forest, one of the most photographed scenes in the Dolomites. Many visitors reach viewpoints over the peaks on trails in the area. The equipped routes inside the massif are for experienced climbers only. Start early, as mountain weather changes in the afternoon.
