Overview

Truly a hiker's paradise, thousands of trails wind their way between the fantastic pinnacles of the jagged Dolomite Mountains, and the Alta Via represent the “best of the best.”  

The Alta Via 1 is a fantastic trek, highlighted by breathtaking views, rustic and lively mountain refuges, a sense of excitement about what lies around the next bend or the next pass, and the satisfaction of traveling by foot through this beautiful and remote area. Our linear trip travels north to south through the Italian Alps, covering the first portion of the AV1, beginning in the Sennes and Fanes Nature Reserve, moving south through the Lagazuoi and Cinque Torri areas, and concluding in Cortina d'Ampezzo.  

The impressiveness of the scenery and the variety of terrain on this route is matched only by the warmth and hospitality offered by the mountain huts. The unusual contrasts in landscapes, changing colors and textures of the mountains, and a curious mix of Italian and Austrian influences means fantastic hiking, stunning scenery, and plenty of pasta!
