A shortened version of the epic Alta Via 1 takes you across its northern and most scenic sections in the vicinity of the famous Cortina d’Ampezzo.
Keeping to the original route, it overcomes 38 kilometers and 2700 meters of altitude before concluding at the Falzarego mountain pass (or Cortina if you wish). This hike is ideal for someone who wants to explore the places bearing scars of WW1 but cannot trek the entire trail.
The stages on this tour are shorter and less demanding than on our Alta Via 1 South hut-to-hut hike. However, you should still be ready to hike between 4 and 6 hours daily.
We will book all your accommodations at rifugios and offer you support during your hike. You will also receive a detailed written guide with a day-by-day itinerary and a precise GPS track of the planned route beforehand.
We are eagerly waiting to assist you on your Alta Via 1 hike!
