Trekking guidebook for walking Alta Via routes 1 and 2 across the Italian Dolomites. The 120km AV1 is described over 11 day stages and is ideal for beginners to Alpine long-distance walking, whereas the AV2 covers 160km in 13 days and is more strenuous and technical. The more demanding AV3-6 routes are described in outline.
Seasons
Mid-June to late September, when the majority of the refuges are open: the peak Italian holiday season is August, especially around 15th August
Centres
Main centres for the Dolomites include Cortina, Belluno, Selva di Cadore, Arabba, La Villa, Selva, Bressanone, Dobbiaco and Canazei
Difficulty
These multi-day mountain traverses involve some scrambles and aided sections and exposure.

AVs 3-6 are more challenging, with extended via ferrata sections and considerable exposure.
