The Alta Via 1 is the classic trek through the heart of Italy’s Dolomites. This trek delivers the best of what the Dolomites has to offer—the soaring spires, expansive rock plateaus, deep conifer forests and, lush cushioned meadows. As always, the landscapes of the Dolomites are distinctive, fascinating, often other-worldly, and always beautiful.
The Alta Via 1 runs on a north-south axis through the eastern portion of the Dolomites. As the trek passes through a wide variety of landscapes and mountainous terrain, our route is true to the Alta Via 1 and, at the same time, does a great job of capturing the most iconic mountains and areas of interest in the Dolomites, including the Tre Cime de Lavaredo, Lago di Braies, Val di Fanes, Cinque Torri, Lagazoui, and some of the most celebrated rifugios in the Dolomites.
The Alta Via 1 is well known by Italians and it’s capturing the interest of more Americans and non-Europeans every year. If you’re wondering when to hike the Alta Via 1, the time is now! It’s accessible to all fit hikers. And as with Alpenwild’s other deluxe hiking trips, we shuttle your luggage so you can travel light, carry just a small daypack, and really enjoy the trip.
We stay in wonderful accommodations—including several 4-star hotels and the top rifugios in the Dolomites—then we conclude at a castle hotel in the Prosecco Region before returning to Venice. We include all meals, and most of our meals feature a la carte dining so you’ll be able to sample the best of the region’s local cuisine.
When you join us on an Alpenwild guided tour on the Alta Via 1 you’ll benefit from the expert leadership and knowledge of an Alpenwild guide, a certified international mountain leader who’s spent years hiking and working in the Dolomites. They know the history, the wildflowers, the routes and the escape routes. You’ll see an in-depth side of the Dolomites that most travelers will never know.
