What you'll do

The Alta Via 1 is a legendary 120 km trek winding through the heart of Italy's Dolomites. Beginning at Lago di Braies and ending in Belluno, it takes hikers across dramatic limestone peaks, lush valleys, and charming mountain huts. The well-marked trail features iconic spots like the towering Tofane and the Civetta massif. With manageable daily distances, it suits adventurers of all levels. Whether it's sunrise over rugged cliffs or starlit nights in cozy lodges, this trek delivers breathtaking scenery and a true taste of alpine magic. Our itinerary covers the 89.6 km version of the route, concluding at Passo Duran. The final stretch to Belluno includes a demanding via ferrata section that would significantly raise the technical level of the experience, so we've chosen this endpoint to keep the adventure consistent and accessible throughout.
