The Braies Dolomites, a subgroup of the Dolomites, are one of the most stunning mountain ranges of the Alps. The chain owes its name to the Valle di Braies where Lake Braies, the pearl of the Dolomites lies.

The highest peak of the Braies Dolomites is the Croda Rossa d'Ampezzo (3,148 m a.s.l.). Other summits worth mentioning are Mt Picco di Vallandro (2,839 m), Mt Croda del Becco (2,810 m), Mt Piccola Croda Rossa (2,859 m), Mt Campo Cavallo Piccolo (2,594 m), Mt Campo Cavallo Grande (2,559 m) and Mt Sasso del Signore (2,447 m).

The Prato Piazza, a high plateau at 2,000 m a.s.l. in the heart of the Fanes-Senes-Braies nature park, is a natural paradise in an almost unspoilt area. It is accessible from Braies and Landro and delights visitors with stunning views of the Braies Dolomites.

Highest peak: Croda Rossa d'Ampezzo (3,148 m a.s.l.)
Territory: South Tyrol, Belluno
