Description
The landscape and the journey
Gillian Price follows a hut-to-hut journey through Puez-Odle, Sella, Pale di San Martino and the Alpi Feltrine. Changing mountain views and refuge evenings shape a continuous Dolomite trek from Bressanone to Feltre.
Routes and itinerary options
The north-to-south route has 13 stages, with details on walking time, terrain and accommodation. Refuge, transport and resupply advice supports the complete itinerary, while three- or six-day alternatives help you plan a shorter continuous section.
Maps and practical planning
The main guide includes 1:75,000 overview maps. A separate 1:25,000 Kompass booklet with Alta Via 2 marked is included; Cicerone provides GPX files. Alta Via 3, 4, 5 and 6 receive outline coverage. Use the route information to compare stages, plan your stops and check practical arrangements before departure.
Choosing the right trip
More demanding than Alta Via 1, the route includes exposed and protected passages. Experienced, fit mountain walkers need confidence at height. The usual Alpine summer season is mid-June–late September. Choose an itinerary that fits your experience and available time, allowing flexibility for weather and local conditions.
