Guidebook to 50 ski touring and snowshoeing routes in the
Dolomites. The routes, which carry an Alpine (and when appropriate,
a Volo/Toponeige) grading, range from 5km to 18km, taking between 2
and 7 hours to complete. The routes are based in and around areas
such as Canazei, Arabba, Corvara and San Martino, taking in
stunning scenery, quaint villages and enchanting mountain vistas.
Clear route descriptions are accompanied by 1:50K mapping and photo
topos, together with information such as total ascent and descent
(as well as aspect), expected duration of route and equipment
required. Also provided is invaluable practical advice on things
such as mountain safety and navigation, equipment, transport
options to, from and around the Dolomites, ski passes,
accommodation and more. Regarded as one of the most beautiful
mountain ranges in the world, the Dolomites offer endless winter
escapades. Those who venture off the beaten track and into the
backcountry (whether by ski or by shoe) will discover a veritable
winter wonderland.
This guidebook presents 75 via ferrata routes in the stunning
Italian Dolomites. Part of a 2-volume set, this book covers Val di
Fassa/Canazei, Selva, Badia/La Villa, Covara, Arabba, Falzarego,
Cortina, Misurina, Sesto and Auronzo in the northern, central and
eastern Dolomites. Routes are graded by technical difficulty and
seriousness and there are comprehensive route descriptions
accompanied by access notes, maps and topos. A wide range of
grades, lengths and styles, from routes for novices to difficult
and technical climbs are covered. Stunning photography completes
this inspirational guide to some of the most breathtaking via
ferrata routes in the world. The Italian Dolomites boast some of
the most magnificent mountain scenery on the planet and some of the
most iconic. Soaring rocky spires and jagged ridgelines are
interspersed with gentle valleys and idyllic mountain villages. The
Dolomites are also home to the world's greatest concentration of
via ferratas - mountain routes or climbs that are protected by a
series of cables, metal rungs, pegs and ladders.
The elegant and dramatic peaks of the Dolomites, one of the most
recently designated UNESCO World Heritage Sites, have long
epitomised the ideals of climbers the world over. These spectacular
limestone and dolomite monoliths rise abruptly from beautiful
meadows, their pale faces contrasting starkly with the vibrant
colour of the surrounding alpine pastures, to create one of the
most instantly recognisable landscapes in the World. Located in
northern Italy, and representing a true mix of Italian and Austrian
culture, these so-called 'Pale Alps' contain climbing of every
shape and size. Single pitch sport crags lie beside kilometre-long
traditional routes, with climbs which are steeped in history
running parallel to modern bolted lines. The area is particularly
renowned for its via ferrata, cabled routes predating the Great War
which give superb access to some of the World's most striking
summits. The metal wires, interspersed with breathtaking ladders
and unlikely suspension bridges, provide aerial assault courses
which combine the thrill of an ascent on rock with the security of
a protected mountain scramble. This Rockfax guide covers everything
you need for a climbing trip regardless of ability, whether it be
sport, trad, via ferrata or a combination of all three. It features
all the major areas and is the only guidebook available to have
such comprehensive coverage. Catinaccio, Val di Fassa, Marmolada,
Sella Group, Val Gardena, Fanis Group, Lagazuoi Group, Tofana
Group, Cinque Torri, Cortina Basin, Cadini di Misurina, Tre Cime.
Only accessible for a few months a year, this beautiful travel and
photo-location guidebook covers Iceland's enigmatic highlands, one
of the most desolate yet beautiful locations on Earth. The
interaction of wind, water and fire has sculpted a unique upland
environment defined by inhospitable landscapes, extreme weather and
rugged topography. A place of beauty, mystery and drama, much of
the region's photographic appeal lies in this epitome of the
Icelandic archetype, with no permanent habitation, a preference for
unmetalled roads and very little infrastructure. A trip to this
area of genuine wilderness therefore requires careful consideration
and planning to ensure a safe and productive visit. The long and
often difficult driving approaches make many of the locations in
the highlands unsuitable for hit and run tourism. FEATURING
