17 Strada Statale 48bis, 32041, Misurina
Been here?
Paid parking area at 2300m by Rifugio Auronzo, the key access point for hiking Tre Cime and Cadini di Misurina. Online booking is mandatory and pricier by vehicle category, charged per 12-hour slot with a hefty overrun fee if you're late. Overnighting is allowed and popular for sunset/sunrise, though it gets crowded and the access road is steep and winding. There are no camper services; public toilets are paid and close overnight.

We stayed overnight in a camper, it is extremely close to trail head and very good views. Quite expensive as we paid €120 for 24 hours (2 x 12 hr toll payment) hence the 4 star. There are toilets for a small fee and a place for drinks and food.
Well, not the best night of our holiday because we got up very early and slept little. Some people leave at all hours to comply with their 12-hour limit up there! But it is clearly a great option for discovering Tre Cime! Perfect—even though 14 hours would be better! €40 for one van for 12 hours.Translating
Clarification about the price after checking by phone: €40/12 hours for cars (M1-category campers such as Volkswagen California, Caravelle, etc. are included in the car category); €60/12 hours for caravans/motorhomes and large N1-category campers. I hope this helps others save a few euros and avoid choosing the wrong category when booking the parking space.Translating
Absolutely dream location, especially if you get a spot right at the front, provided one is available on arrival. Great for hiking. Extremely busy during the day. We booked 24 hours from 11 to 11 and set off hiking at 5 a.m.; it was bearable then, but from around 8 a.m. the crowds arrive. €120 for 24 hours is expensive, but the experience is fantastic! The approach and departure are steep and winding, but no problem with a 7.5-meter camper.Translating
Okay, it is not cheap, but by paying for the night we had the chance to enjoy an unobstructed sunset view. Waking at 5 a.m. also meant we could take a superb sunrise hike, and when we left at 8 a.m. we realized how lucky we had been to have the paths almost to ourselves.Translating
€60 is extortionate but we are all still paying it so it shows you how good the views are. Watched sunset and had sunrise hike which were spectacular. Then went down to the campsite at the bottom of the road
The price is outrageous, but honestly, if you can afford it, it is incredible. €60 for 12 hours; we spent the night up there, watched the sunset, and woke very early to see the sunrise. We have no regrets—a wonderful experience.Translating
Yes, it is expensive. But it is also incredibly beautiful! We did not regret it. One star deducted only because, for that price, they could also ensure that cars do not constantly park in the spaces reserved for campers and then occupy the front row.Translating
We stayed for 1 night and paid 60€. Definitely a hefty price but for sure well worth it. Going to sleep and waking up to such an amazing view is definitely worth it…
€120 for two 12-hour passes. Very expensive, but honestly it is impressive to wake up and go to sleep there. Still, it is a luxury, because the view is the same as if you take the bus up to do the hikes.Translating
Very expensive, but a dream. Worth it.Translating
60€ for 12h stay is too expensive but the view is amazing. It’s worth to spend a night there - see a sunset and sunrise. The road is very steep, and it's easy to overheat the brakes on the descent.
Extremely expensive for what it offers, and I recommend taking the bus because it is much cheaper. You pay for the views, which are quite beautiful—that is why it gets two stars—but nothing else. You even have to pay for the toilet; apparently €60 for 12 hours does not include it, and the extra €1 was too undignified for me to spend. No camper services and very few rubbish bins.Translating
Extraordinary location with spectacular views, but expensive.Translating
Overpriced parking with paid toilets, although very convenient for starting hikes regardless of the type of vehicle. You have to book online in advance. We were able to enter 15 minutes before our reservation time.Translating
Price is steep but I get it, Tre Cime is easiest from here. But, not even portapotties? (Regular toilets were locked). Annoying attitude from the local maintenance men yelling at me something like "spots for Caravelles [I have VW T4] is not here!!!". You can time one stunning sunset and then sunrise hike within 12 hrs. Two stars are solely for the views and location.
Sorry, I cannot say anything about the site. But anyone who supports something like this has nothing to do with being a motorhome traveler. It is simply a rip-off!Translating
Magnificent pitch but very expensive (€60/12 hours). It is worth it for watching the sunrise and sunset and starting the hike very early. Official site for tickets. The license plate is recognized automatically at the checkpoint. Another option is to walk all the way up and leave the van below, but that is quite a hike with a significant elevation gain!Translating
Expensive, but absolutely worth it! Ticket available online only.Translating
Very scenic park up for the night but also very expensive! Great place to access the hikes around Tre Cime. If you want to see sunset and/or sunrise definitely stay up here, otherwise save some money and get the bus from lower down the valley. When we stayed it was a very cold night and we couldn’t get the van started in the morning, but the refuge has jumper cables and everyone was happy to help!
With a 6-meter-long, 2.9-meter-high campervan, under the current rules we qualified for the €40/12-hour rate. We stayed overnight, €80 total, for a perfect sunset view and an incredibly beautiful sunrise. The night was clear, around -5°C in the morning, but it was worth it. We entered at 4 p.m. and left at 4 p.m. the next day through the gate below. We comfortably managed to walk around Tre Cime and still have coffee with a view. TOP! We booked two days in advance (IMPORTANT: without an online reservation, you cannot drive up!)Translating
Sleeping and watching the sunrise here is amazing. At night we could even see the Milky Way. The caravan area is marked off and separated from the car area, and it is flat. It has beautiful views. The only bad thing is the price: €60/12 hours is abusive, considering they even charge €1 to use the toilet.Translating
A very beautiful and breathtaking area to hike in, but very expensive parking, which must be purchased online. You can park farther down, just after the lake, and take the bus up. It is cheaper. There is a machine for purchasing parking and bus tickets. Many tourists go up there. We were there in 5-degree weather and rain, and there were still many people.Translating
Paid parking is mandatory if you want to drive your vehicle up to the refuge. €60/12 hours. It is really expensive for what it is. The toilets in the area also charge a fee. I understand the prices are due to overcrowding, but they are out of proportion to what is offered.Translating
€80 for 24 hours with a van under 2 meters high. Ideal for hiking, magnificent views and superb colors at sunrise. No services; spaces are not limited but are level. Quiet night.Translating
€60 per 12 hours. Anyone wanting to stay overnight and complete the circular route must book two time slots in advance and therefore pay €120. Is it worth it? Everyone must decide for themselves. We enjoyed it. One star deducted because the public toilet is closed between 6 p.m. and 8 a.m. We do not need this service, but some campers stay here without their own toilet.Translating
Looks like a fantastic view and would love to park there but at the end of September we would need to book 2 slots at a cost of €120 which is ridiculously expensive just to park overnight. Otherwise we would be driving up in the dark and have no possibility of doing any walks.
If you like the mountains, do not support this kind of abusive policy. €60 for 12 hours and €120 to spend the night in a muddy, undeveloped lot with dirty toilets that cost extra. There are free car parks and places in nature where you can stay for free and that are just as spectacular or more so. If you want to do the hike, there is a free parking area at Lake Antorno from which a beautiful trail leads to Auronzo Refuge.
We arrived at 5 p.m. and left at 10 a.m. the next day, booking two time slots to see the sunset and sunrise. We paid €60, and on arrival the agent told us we could have paid less because we have a small van. So note that with a van you can book under “car.” The €1 public toilets are squat toilets without lighting—rather shameful, I think.
Horribly expensive for zero services. But essential for doing the hikes. The ground is flat and the night was very, very quiet.
Regarding the debate about whether it is very expensive—it depends. If you can afford it, it is incredible to watch the sunrise and start walking before the buses and cars arrive. Be careful with online booking: you may pay for the first 12 hours but then have no slot for the following 12, leaving you unable to do the route despite having paid for the booking.
