ORMA
A loop from the Prato Piazza meadows up the old military road past Rifugio Vallandro to the panoramic summit of Monte Specie (Strudelkopf, 2307 m), returning across the plateau on the Alta Via 3 path, views to Tre Cime, Monte Cristallo and a WWI-era fort along the way.
This is a point-to-point route, so plan the return: retrace your steps or check local buses; the 330 m of climbing is steady rather than steep, a fair ask for most fit dogs.
Mapped start suggestion, Prato Piazza. Check current access before travelling.
Do not rely on potential water locations being available or drinkable. Carry enough for the full walk.
Use the live forecast, check local access information and be ready for changing mountain conditions.
The trail rating above describes the mountain, and it's the same for every dog. How it suits yours depends on their build, age and health. See this route's match — scored for a medium dog until you add your own, free and in a minute.
