DoloPaws
A loop from the Prato Piazza meadows up the old military road past Rifugio Vallandro to the panoramic summit of Monte Specie (Strudelkopf, 2307 m), returning across the plateau on the Alta Via 3 path — views to Tre Cime, Monte Cristallo and a WWI-era fort along the way.
This is a point-to-point route, so plan the return: retrace your steps or check local buses; the 330 m of climbing is steady rather than steep, a fair ask for most fit dogs.
Mapped start suggestion — Prato Piazza. Access suitability is not field reviewed.
Mapped locations only — current flow, potability and seasonal availability are not verified. Carry a full supply.
