Glaciers on Marmolada, highest peak of the Dolomites, seen from Rifugio Lagazuoi, Italy, Europe. Marmolada / Marmolata / Marmolèda lies between the borders of Trentino and Veneto provinces in Italy. Riding the Rifugio Lagazuoi Funivia (cable car) reaches a scenic panorama of the Dolomites, improved by walking to Piccolo Lagazuoi (0.8 miles round trip with 400 feet gain). Rifugio Lagazuoi perches above Falzarego Pass, halfway between Cortina d'Ampezzo and the Badia Valley. From the Refuge, one can walk 2.5 miles one way down 2200 feet on steep trails, optionally via dark slippery tunnels built in World War I (bring a flashlight). The Dolomites are honored on UNESCO's World Heritage List.
