Northern Italy's famous Alta Via long-distance walking routes are
spread across the Dolomites, running roughly north to south and
reaching as far as the Austrian border. There are six of these
routes, and they increase in difficulty: Alta Via 1 has few exposed
sections and is suitable for novice alpine trekkers; AV2 is much
more challenging, only suitable for experienced alpine trekkers
with a good head for heights, while AVs 3-6 have extended via
ferrata sections and considerable exposure. AVs 1 and 2 are
described in detail in this guidebook. The 120km AV1 is described
over 11 day stages; AV2 covers 160km in 13 days and is more
strenuous and technical. Overnight stops are at mountain huts or
guesthouses. The demanding AV3-6 routes are described in outline.
Now a World Heritage Site, the Italian Dolomites make a first-rate
trekking destination. There is an excellent network of paths dotted
with welcoming 'rifugi' (mountain huts) in stunning locations, and
efficient public transport serving key trekking points. Written by
an expert in Italian trekking, with information on the fascinating
wartime history of the region, plants and wildlife and also
practical considerations such as the best time to go, what to take
and hut protocol, this guide offers trekkers all the information
they need to enjoy the mountains to the full.
