A full colour guide to 40 walks in the Dolomites. The walks vary in length from around three miles to full-day excursions, both in the high mountains and in valleys. The Dolomites are a prime holiday destination, with superbly located resorts connected by good roads and transport. There are vast expanses of forest, high-altitude rockscapes and seas of wild flowers. There is an extensive network of paths which link the numerous mountain huts of the region.

June to October is ideal for walking. Snow can remain at high altitude well into July. Huts open late June to late September.

Cortina, Sesto, Misurina, Calalzo, Forno di Zoldo, S. Cassiano, La Villa, S. Martino, Funes, Selva, Ortisei, Fiè, Canazei, Arabba
