Updated May 27, 2025
The Tre Cime di Lavaredo are one of the most iconic, spectacular, and visited destinations in the Dolomites. During the summer months—especially in peak season—the area can see up to 7–8 thousand visitors per day, leading to queues, overcrowding, and disruptions that risk compromising both the experience and environmental conservation.
Despite the introduction of a toll road between Lake Misurina and Rifugio Auronzo, visitor numbers have remained high. Previously, the road toll was: €20 for motorcycles, €30 for cars, and up to €120 for minibuses.
Since these measures haven’t been enough to manage the flow of tourists, new rules will be introduced for summer 2025 to improve traffic management and protect the surrounding environment.
What’s changing in 2025?
- Mandatory reservation for private vehicles. Booking and payment must be done online via the official form.
- Parking fee increase for cars: from €30 to €40.
- Shuttle bus service from Dobbiaco available from May 31 to October 12, 2025.
- Online booking and payment required, both for private vehicles and shuttle buses.
⚠️ For full details on dates, access rules, and booking procedures, the Municipality of Auronzo di Cadore has published a comprehensive article. We recommend checking it directly if you have any doubts.
