The Alta Via 2 is a demanding and exhilarating journey through the heart of the Dolomites for experienced hikers. This iconic long-distance route, known for its technical difficulty and breathtaking scenery, spans two weeks and covers a range of terrains, from high mountain passes to rocky ridges and via ferrata sections.
Unlike its counterpart, the Alta Via 1, this route is reserved for those well-versed in alpine hiking and have experience with via ferratas. The path leads you through some of the most striking mountain groups in the region, including the Sella, Marmolada, and Pale di San Martino ranges.
As you traverse the route, you'll encounter challenging ascents and descents that demand physical endurance and technical skill. The trail takes you across exposed ridges, narrow ledges, and steep climbs secured with fixed ropes, iron ladders, and rungs.
Some sections require the use of a via ferrata kit and helmet. Optional extensions and ascents offer even more opportunities to test your limits, with rewards that include panoramic views of the Dolomites' most iconic peaks.
Each day on the Alta Via 2 brings a new challenge and a new perspective, whether you're crossing the high plateaus of the Sella massif, skirting the base of the Marmolada glacier, or navigating the rocky spires of the Pale di San Martino.
The route is punctuated by stays in traditional mountain refuges, where you'll find respite after long days on the trail.
We handle all logistics, from booking accommodations to providing detailed maps and GPS navigation. However, we strongly advise against booking a self-guided tour unless you are experienced with via ferratas and technical alpine terrain. For most hikers, we suggest a guided tour with expert mountain guides.
