9Prato Piazza

Prato Piazza (Plätzwiese) plateau is a high alpine pasture above Valle di Braies/Pragser Tal, not too far from Lago di Braies. The plateau lies between Picco di Vallandro/Dürrenstein (2839 m) and Monte Croda Rossa d’Ampezzo/Hohe Gaisl (3146 m) in Fanes-Sennes-Braies Nature Park.  

The most popular thing to do on Prato Piazza is to hike to the panoramic summit of Monte Specie/Strudelkopf. From this easy-to-reach peak, you’ll be treated to marvelous views of Tre Cime di Lavaredo, Cadini di Misurina, and the Cristallo Group.
