Description
The landscape and the journey
Gillian Price brings together short multi-day journeys where rifugi connect the walking days. Continue after breakfast instead of returning to the valley each evening, while retaining the flexibility to explore several mountain groups during one holiday.
Routes and itinerary options
The 25 treks cover approximately 11–41 kilometres over two to four days. Most are circuits, with some longer traverses. Areas include Tre Cime, Sella, Civetta, Catinaccio, Marmolada and the Brenta Dolomites, allowing you to compare routes beyond a single long Alta Via.
Maps and practical planning
1:100,000 maps and refuge accommodation information accompany advice on access, public transport, food, equipment and waymarking. Geology, plants and wildlife provide context for the landscape. Use the route information to compare stages, plan your stops and check practical arrangements before departure.
Choosing the right trip
Moderate to demanding routes include scrambling and exposed traverses, requiring mountain experience and confidence at height. Mid-June–late September follows hut openings. Day Walks in the Dolomites covers same-day alternatives separately. Choose an itinerary that fits your experience and available time, allowing flexibility for weather and local conditions.
