This guidebook describes 50 spectacular walks spanning the breadth
of the Dolomites mountains in northeast Italy. Carefully selected
to give walkers a taste of the unique character of the local area,
each walk can be tackled in a single day, allowing visitors to
travel light and return to their accommodation at day's end. Graded
from easy to strenuous, there are walks for all abilities, ranging
from 3km hour-long lake strolls and lift-assisted short walks to
20km full-day high-altitude hikes. Most routes take in mountain
huts offering refreshments and accommodation, and the guide
includes notes on food and drink, history, folklore, nature and
geology. A UNESCO World Heritage Site, the Dolomites are easily
accessible by train via Austria and Italy, and by air via Verona,
Venice, Treviso and Innsbruck airports. From the iconic peaks of
Tre Cime di Lavaredo and throne-like Pelmo to the Queen of the
Dolomites, the Marmolada, and the fairytale Brenta Dolomites, this
guide includes the key valleys and gateway towns for accessing the
mountains, along with details of public transport options to reach
the trailhead.
Each page features a normal view as well as an bird’s-eye view of
each of Cape Town’s most iconic sites and attractions, with an
extended caption for each attraction.
