Discription: Italy's famous Alta Via long-distance walking routes are spread across the Dolomites running roughly north to south and across to the Austrian border. Increasing in difficulty from AV1 to AV6, they vary in length from 6 to 13 days and range from easy ambles to difficult aided climbs. For the two first routes, described in detail in this guide, overnight stops are at manned mountain huts or guesthouses so walkers can travel light and the way is well walked and easy to follow, suitable for any experienced alpine trekker.

Engelse omschrijving:  Trekking guidebook for walking Alta Via routes 1 and 2 across the Italian Dolomites. The 120km AV1 is described over 11 day stages and is ideal for beginners to Alpine long-distance walking, whereas the AV2 covers 160km in 13 days and is more strenuous and technical. The more demanding AV3-6 routes are described in outline.

Seasons:
Mid-June to late September, when the majority of the refuges are open: the peak Italian holiday season is August, especially around 15th August.
Centres:
Main centres for the Dolomites include Cortina, Belluno, Selva di Cadore, Arabba, La Villa, Selva, Bressanone, Dobbiaco and Canazei.
Difficulty:
These multi-day mountain traverses involve some scrambles and aided sections and exposure. Alta Via 1 has few exposed sections, however AV2 is considerably more challenging, and only suitable for experienced alpine trekkers with a good head for heights. AVs 3-6 are more challenging, with extended via ferrata sections and considerable exposure.
