Steep tolled hairpin ramp from Misurina up to Rifugio Auronzo beneath the Three Peaks.

From Lake Misurina a private toll road winds up through a tight set of steep hairpins, signed at around 12 percent, to the car park at Rifugio Auronzo directly below the Tre Cime di Lavaredo. It is short but dramatic, ending at one of the most photographed viewpoints in the Dolomites. Access is gated, pre-booked and costs a per-car toll, and the road is busy in season. Mind the steep gradients, the heavy summer traffic and pedestrians near the top, and the late-May to late-October seasonal opening only.
