Guidebook describing Alta Via 2, a challenging hut-to-hut trek
through the Italian Dolomites. Stretching 174km from Bressanone
(Brixen) to Feltre, the route involves some aided and exposed
sections (although several can be bypassed) calling for a sure foot
and a good head for heights. It can be walked in under a fortnight
- although it is also possible to walk shorter chunks should you
only have limited time, and the guide highlights potential exit
routes and transport options. Also included are summaries of Alte
Vie 3-6, which are more demanding and include remote terrain and
stretches of via ferrata for which climbing experience is
essential. On Alte Vie 3-6 some nights will be spent in unmanned
bivouac huts, meaning trekkers must carry their own kit, although
it is possible to walk shorter hut-to-hut sections. The easiest of
the Alta Via routes, Alta Via 1, is covered in a separate Cicerone
guide. An overview diagram is provided for each trek, showing times
between huts. Alta Via 2 is presented in 13 stages, each with clear
route description illustrated with 1:75,000 mapping. There are
overview statistics for each stage and contact details and notes
about mountain huts encountered en route. The guide also includes a
wealth of information about the region's geology, plants and
wildlife to enhance your appreciation of the landscapes traversed.
Useful contacts and an Italian-English glossary can be found in the
appendices. A handy pocket-sized map booklet showing the full route
of Alta Via 2 on 1:25,000 Kompass maps is included with the guide.
Alta Via 2 visits the Plose massif, the jagged Puez-Odle,
fortress-like Sella, the majestic Marmolada, spectacular Pale di
San Martino and the rugged Alpi Feltrine group as it journeys from
the baroque town of Bressanone to Renaissance-style Feltre. On all
of the Alta Via routes you can expect breathtaking mountain vistas
and a truly memorable trekking experience.

Reader review
The enigmatic Neolithic standing stones at Stonehenge and Avebury
first drew footsore pilgrims to this landlocked area of Southern
England more than 4000 years ago. Today there are scores of
waymarked footpaths, bridleways and byways which connect the
rolling downland, verdant valleys, white chalk horses, ancient
settlements and vibrant historic towns of the 'great green county'
of Wiltshire. This guide contains 40 circular routes which make the
most of that network. Most walks can be completed inside two or
three hours, though some will require half a summer's day, with a
few full-day routes along the downland ridges.
Discover bestselling author Della Galton and her wonderful Bluebell
Cliff Hotel series. Art dealer Ruby Lambert is on a mission to lose
her baby weight ahead of her sister's Olivia's wedding in 6 months'
time. To add fuel the fire, Ruby has also been 'honoured' with the
unenviable task of being Head Bridesmaid. So determined not to let
Olivia down, she signs up to a swanky new diet & fitness club,
The Bluebell Booty Busters. Uncertain of what to expect Ruby meets
Harry Small, a wealthy local businessman who 'joins' Booty Busters,
after pressure from his wife, who's worried about his health and
growing waistline. Ruby and Harry soon team up as diet buddies,
supporting each other through their dieting crisis's. But something
seems amiss at Booty Busters when they both discover that if it
looks too good to be true; it probably is.... Will Ruby and Harry
ever reach their targets? And will Ruby do her sister proud and be
the Belle of the Ball?
