Walking in the Dolomites: 25 multi-day routes in Italy's Dolomites

by Gillian Price

Overview

A guidebook to 25 multi-day treks in the Dolomites of north-east Italy. The routes range from moderate to challenging in difficulty, with varying degrees of mountain traverses, scrambles and exposure so a good head for heights is needed.

The treks range from 11 to 41km (7–25 miles) with daily distances of between 5 and 15km (3–9 miles). Each trek is designed to be hut-to-hut and last 2–4 days. The routes explore the major mountain groups of the UNESCO World Heritage site including Sella and Marmolada.

• 1:100,000 maps are included for each walk
• Treks feature notes on access, difficulty and recommended maps for navigation on the ground
• Public transport and accommodation options are detailed
