Description
The landscape and the journey
From Lago di Braies, Alta Via 1 heads south through Dolomite walls, open passes and high refuges, with views towards Pelmo, Civetta and Marmolada. Gillian Price turns a hut-to-hut ambition into a practical itinerary.
Routes and itinerary options
The 115 kilometres to La Pissa near Belluno have 11 stages. Descriptions, overview maps and refuge contact details help organise overnight stops. Alternative routes and shorter itineraries allow adjustment to your time, while the huts connect successive mountain days.
Maps and practical planning
A separate 1:25,000 Kompass booklet with the route marked is included. Travel, transport, accommodation, meals, equipment, geology, plants, wildlife and an Italian–English glossary support planning. Cicerone has published specialist guides since 1969. Use the route information to compare stages, plan your stops and check practical arrangements before departure.
Choosing the right trip
Good fitness and some Alpine experience are needed. It offers an introduction to multi-day Dolomite trekking for accustomed walkers; the usual season is mid-June–late September. Choose an itinerary that fits your experience and available time, allowing flexibility for weather and local conditions.
