Guidebook to walking the Alta Via 1 and Alta Via 2, the finest long-distance treks through the Italian Dolomites, in southern Europe. Alta Via 1 is 120km, taking about 10 days from Lago di Braies near Monguelfo to Belluno. Alta Via 2 is generally higher - the 150km route begins at Bressanone and ends at Feltre, taking over 2 weeks.

Seasons

Best time is mid-June until the end of September, when most huts are open and there is little risk of snow.

Centres

Belluno at the finish of AV 1, also Cortina is within an easy bus-ride from the road below Lagazuoi. Bressanone, Malga Ciapela and Feltre on AV2.

Difficulty

Generally well-maintained paths, with some exposed sections, all with artificial protection. The descent of Schiara (avoidable) on AV1 requires Via Ferrata experience.
