Itinerary

Full Alta Via 1 Trek Adventure

DAY 1

From Lago di Braies to Rifugio Biella

Your adventure begins with a scenic bus transfer from Dobbiaco to the enchanting Lago di Braies where you will meet your guide. Lago di Braies is a shimmering alpine lake renowned for its crystal-clear waters and dramatic mountain backdrop. A leisurely walk around the lake offers ample opportunities for capturing stunning photos and soaking in the tranquil beauty of the surroundings.

From the lake, the trail gently ascends through a peaceful forest, immersing you in nature before transitioning to a steeper climb toward the Forcella Sora Forno pass at 2,388 meters. At the pass, you’ll be rewarded with breathtaking panoramic views of the jagged peaks and rolling valleys of the Dolomites.

After taking in the views, a gradual descent brings you to Rifugio Biella, your first mountain refuge, nestled on a high plateau. Here, you’ll enjoy a cozy overnight stay surrounded by the raw, rugged beauty of the Alps, preparing for the incredible journey that lies ahead.
