The Alta Via Routes traversing the majestic Dolomites are two of Europes finest trekking routes. This Trailblazer guide gives a complete description of both routes, along with other shorter treks.
As a trekking destination the Italian Dolomites has few peers. Juxtaposing dramatic mountain scenery with picture-perfect Tyrolean villages, flower-filled alpine meadows and poignant WWI battlefields, this small yet exquisite range rarely fails to enchant and beguile those who visit.
