Tofana di Rozes - Normal route

DESCRIPTION
A beautiful 3000 with a fantastic panorama.
Surely the excursion to the Tofana di Rozes is one of the most beautiful and most scenic excursions in the Cortina d'Ampezzo area. Once at the top, the view sweeps 360 degrees on the splendid peaks of three provinces: Belluno, Trento and Bolzano. The route does not present particular difficulties except in the stretch from the Giussani Refuge to Cima Tofana di Rozes, because you walk on rocks or scree and because the signposting is somewhat deficient. You should follow the path marked with a blue dot, but it is often not seen or not there and therefore you follow the stone men. In case of low clouds this can be a problem.
In conclusion: simple / tourist route (T) to the Giussani refuge, then for expert hikers (EE).
