This guidebook describes 25 hut-to-hut treks in the Dolomites of
northern Italy, covering 15 regions including Cortina, Sella,
Sesto, Marmolada and Latemar. Ranging from 11.3km to 40.8km and
from two to four days, the graded routes are suitable for walkers
with a reasonable level of fitness and experience of mountain
terrain, and some feature exposed sections which demand a good head
for heights. This edition includes a number of treks in less
frequently visited rugged districts, as well as the more popular
trips, all of which take advantage of the region's network of
mountain refuges and efficient public transport system, with the
majority of routes accessible by public bus. Detailed route
description is presented alongside mapping and stunning colour
photography and the guide also suggests alternative access and exit
routes, and options for linking routes to create a longer trek.
There is plenty of advice to help make the most of a trip as well
as background information on the region's geology, plants and
wildlife and local cuisine. The Dolomites - a UNESCO World Heritage
Site - are characterised by striking volcanic and sedimentary rock
formations. Walking is an ideal way to discover this breathtaking
landscape of angular peaks, towering pinnacles and jagged ridges,
and the carefully chosen routes in this guide will exhilarate,
challenge and inspire.
