Walking in the Dolomites

25 multi-day routes

This guide leads you through breathtaking alpine scenery flanked by well-
graded paths and excellent mountain refuges that verge on hotels, which are
easily accessible from the extensive network of public transport from major
towns and travel hubs, such as Venice, Verona, Munich and Innsbruck.

Any one of these fabulous multi-day walks makes for a memorable holiday in
Italy’s breathtaking Dolomite mountains. The author weaves the best of her
20-year experience and knowledge of this spectacular region into an original
selection of itineraries on foot across each Dolomite group. Many walks follow
mule-tracks constructed by troops during the First World War, when Italy
fought Austria for possession of crazy summits and tunnels were hewn through
impossible mountain-sides. The highlights are emphasised, and the routes are
furnished with fascinating explanations of wildlife and flowers. Everything,
from a stroll through woods and meadows to family routes, steep rocky zigzag
passages and hands-on clambers, is covered.

This full-colour revised edition has a wealth of inspiring photos, detailed
maps, myriad new routes and heaps of practical help on travelling, sleeping
and eating.
