Description

Beauty par excellence. The Dolomites are an extensive mountain range located in the Eastern Alps whose maximum height is the top of the Marmolada (3343m). Its spectacular spires and large walls of more than a thousand meters plus the green and winding valleys make an incredible and superb natural labyrinth worth exploring.

Part of this trekking route follows the Alta Vía nº1, which connects Belluno and Lake Braies throught 150 km of trails.

This program combines calm trekking stages with three climbs to summits over 3000m of altitude in which we will use protection equipment in some of the sections of the ascent.
