Cortina September 22, 2025

Locality: Palestra di Roccia Lino Lacedelli, Cortina d'Ampezzo

Trek the second part of the Alta Via 1 – one of the famous High Routes of the Dolomites! Hike from hut to hut for 5 days and enjoy the atmosphere of a different mountain rifugio each night. Short on time? This is the ultimate quick getaway for hikers looking for a classic route and a great experience in the Dolomites.

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.” These routes are multi-day, hut-to-hut alpine tours, and offer some the most breathtaking, challenging, multi-day trails available in this mountainous wonderland.

The Alta Via 1 is a fantastic trek, highlighted by breathtaking views, rustic and lively mountain refuges, a sense of excitement of what lies around the next bend or the next pass and the satisfaction of traveling by foot through this beautiful and remote area. On this quick getaway, we’ve shortened the classic trek, but retained all the highlights and excitement of traveling across the Dolomites! Our linear trip travels north to south through the Italian Alps, covering the second portion of the AV1.

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 colours and textures of the mountains and curious mix of Italian and Austrian influences means fantastic hiking, stunning scenery, and plenty of pasta!
