The northern face of this mountain group is now in the territory of the town of Dobbiaco, but the Tre Cime di Lavaredo have been for a very long time in the territory of Auronzo di Cadore, in the province of Belluno. From 1752 the border between the two municipalities lies on the summit of the three peaks and 3/4 of the massif is still in the territory of Auronzo di Cadore, thus in the Veneto region.

The Tre Cime mountain group is traversed by the Alta Via n. 4, also known as Grohmann route.

The Tre Cime are:

the Cima Grande ("big peak") is the central and highest one (2.999 m a.s.l.);
the Cima Ovest ("western peak") is the second one (2.973 m a.s.l.);
the Cima Piccola ("little peak") is the third one (2.857 m a.s.l.).

The border between the territories of Auronzo di Cadore (southern face) and of Dobbiaco (northern face) lies exactly on the high crests of the three peaks, crossing them lengthwise.
