The Dolomites // Alta Via 2

This is part one of our Dolomite Adventure. The Dolomites are a collection of craggy limestone mountains in Northern Italy. Within its boundaries there are 10 Alta Via’s or high ways. While the Alta Via 1 is the most popular we’ve chosen to do the more rugged and demanding Alta Via 2. The Alta Via 2 is around 100 miles in length and contrary to what I read online it is closer to 40,000ft of elevation gain rather than 33,000ft. The path begins above the town of Brixen/Bressanone on the slopes of Mount Plose and ends 100 miles later in the town of Feltre, Italy. Between those two towns are steep climbs up loose rocks, perilous stone walkways along cliff edges, scrambles on stone faces with the help of cables and rebar and lots and lots of Coke and French fries eaten in Rifugio’s along the way. It’s all so continental. The Alta Via 2 provides a unique and challenging mountain adventure in a place of unparalleled beauty.
