Pocket topoguide (in English) from the publisher Cicerone with detailed information sheets for hiking on the Alta Via 1 in the Dolomites.
Description provided by the publisher:
The Alta Via 1 is one of Italy's most famous and most popular long-distance routes and is the easiest of six Alta Via routes that traverse the magnificent Dolomites. The hut-to-hut trail extends 115km from Lago di Braies to La Pissa, boasting spectacular alpine vistas. Although it demands a moderate level of fitness, it is well waymarked and follows clear well-trodden paths, making for an ideal introduction to trekking in the Dolomites.
The route is presented in 11 stages, each with overview statistics, a brief summary of the day's walking and detailed route description illustrated with clear mapping. There are also comprehensive notes on the huts the route passes, with contact details and tips on facilities available. A pocket-sized map booklet showing the full route of Alta Via 1 on 1:25,000 Kompass maps is included with the guide.
The AV1 is a wonderful way to experience the celebrated scenery of the Dolomites. Welcoming refuges offer meals and accommodation along the way, though camping is also possible on the middle stages (restrictions apply elsewhere).
