Description
Hiking in the Alps: The Dolomites is a comprehensive guidebook to some of Europe’s most spectacular mountains. Written in Swedish, the book takes you to the dramatic Dolomites in northern Italy—a UNESCO World Heritage Site known for its distinctive limestone peaks, flower-filled meadows, alpine huts, and endless hiking opportunities.
The guide covers some of the most popular areas in the Dolomites, including Cortina d’Ampezzo, Val di Fassa, and Val Gardena, and includes hiking suggestions for all skill levels. Here you’ll find everything from short day hikes and family-friendly walks to multi-day hut-to-hut hikes and challenging high-mountain routes with via ferrata (secured climbing trails).
The Dolomites offer a unique landscape where green alpine pastures meet dramatic mountain cliffs, jagged peaks, and spectacular viewpoints. This book introduces you to both the classic hiking destinations everyone should experience and lesser-known trails where you can enjoy nature in more peaceful surroundings. Thanks to a well-developed network of mountain huts, cable cars, and public transportation, the area is accessible to both beginners and experienced hikers.
Each hike is described with practical information about distance, difficulty, elevation gain, and route details, so you can easily plan your hikes. The guide also offers valuable tips on accommodations, logistics, and route selection, whether you’re looking for a relaxing vacation in the mountains or more challenging alpine adventures.
