A real, GPS-verified geological education trail between Passo Pinei and the village of Bulla — 8 information panels explain how the Dolomites formed, including a spot where you physically cross the 252-million-year-old Permian-Triassic boundary. Confirmed dog-friendly (leashed, off-leash in some areas) by multiple independent trail guides.
Start here — Passo Pinei (Panider Sattel), near Hotel Panider Sattel
Reachable by bus (line 172) from Ortisei, or park at Passo Pinei. Best June through October. Moderate terrain with some real ascent/descent — not the flattest option on this list, but not technical either.
