Overview
The Alta Via is one of the most celebrated high-altitude routes in the Alps, traversing the dramatic heart of the Dolomites.
This itinerary covers the finest sections of the route, crossing from the German-speaking Hochpustertal through the Ladin-speaking Fanes region and into the Italian-speaking south, with the landscapes of this UNESCO World Heritage Site shifting constantly along the way.
Unlike the traditional Alta Via experience, nights are spent in comfortable hotels rather than mountain huts, making this an accessible way to walk one of the great Alpine routes without compromising on comfort.
