Directions to Città di Carpi mountain hut from Lago di Misurina lake

At the southern end of the idyllic Misurina lake, the Col de Varda car park has some parking facilities.
This is also the starting point of the wide hiking trail no. 120 in the direction of Col de Varda / Città di Carpi, which climbs in numerous hairpin bends through the sparse forest.
Near the timberline, the mountain trail descends slightly at the foot of the craggy Cadini di Misurina, to finally climb again to Città di Carpi mountain hut. Especially during this last section of the hike, breathtakingly beautiful views of the legendary Sorapis and Marmarole mountains open up.
