Choose one of the famous Alta Via trails or create your own tailor-made itinerary, from 2 to 8 days.
The Dolomites are home to a series of legendary long-distance hiking trails known as the “Alte Vie” (High Routes).
Each Alta Via is a unique multi-day journey across jagged peaks, panoramic ridges, alpine meadows, and traditional mountain huts.
There are several official Alta Via routes, each with its own character—from challenging high-altitude adventures to more accessible cultural journeys through valleys and villages.
The Dolomites offer more than one way to live the Alta Via experience. Whether you dream of following a famous long-distance trail or prefer a fully customized journey, you can choose the adventure that fits your time, energy, and style.
Pick a Classic Alta Via
Follow one of the legendary official routes, like the Alta Via 1—the most iconic and accessible trek, with breathtaking views and welcoming mountain huts—or the Alta Via 2, more rugged and demanding, perfect for experienced hikers looking for a wilder challenge.
Create Your Own Route
Not sure which Alta Via is right for you? We can design a tailor-made itinerary, combining the most beautiful sections of different routes. Short and scenic? Long and challenging? From 2 to 8 days, the trek adapts to your schedule and preferences.
Whichever option you choose, you’ll experience the Dolomites in the most authentic way—guided by a certified International Mountain Leader (UIMLA).
The Alta Via routes are accessible from May to October, when mountain huts are open and trails are safe. If you’d like to hike in other months, I can design a special itinerary adapted to the season—so you can enjoy the Dolomites year-round with no stress.
