Travenanzes valley it is an uncontaminated valley in the Dolomiti d'Ampezzo Regional Park. You will walk around Tofane mountains. The valley is crossed by a simple path whose difficulty is its length and the fact that it begins in a place far from where it ends.
If you want to make it in a day, my suggestion is to take advantage of buses.
From Cortina d'Ampezzo you take the bus to Falzarego Pass and get off at "Magistrato delle acque" bus stop (the one before "Col Gallina"). From here a simple path, in major part over an easy military road, it will take you up to forcella Travenanzes (quote 2.507 m). From here all the path is downhill, easy but long.
Along the route there is no refuge, only a private but with only a roof if it rains or the sun is very hot. So, be careful to pick food and water with you!
Along the way, besides Dolomites, you will be able to see many natural wonders, starting with plants and flowers and, if you are lucky, wild animals.
When you arrive in "Pian de Loa" you may choose if to take the bus at "Podestagno" bus stop (follow to Sant'Uberto parking and than on the road, uphill), or to go to visitor center and than follow two more km to Hotel Fiames.
