A popular guidebook to short walks in the Dolomites of north east Italy.
The guide describes 50 walks, graded from easy to strenuous, and varying
in length from 3 mile strolls to full-day expeditions. The Dolomites are
suitable for summer walking, and the mountains are easily accessible,
just across the border from Austria and easily reached from Verona,
Treviso, Venice and Innsbruck airports.
The Dolomites are blessed with vast forests, high-altitude rocky
landscapes and seas of beautiful wildflowers and the range is now a
designated Unesco World Heritage Site encompassing a national park -
Parco Nazionale Dolomiti Bellunesi - and several other protected areas.
Highlights include the Tre Cime di Lavaredo, the Civetta, the Piz Boè
circuit on the Sella massif and the Sentiero delle Odle. This guide
offers something for every walking ability and preference, and includes
all the background and planning information you need to plan a trip,
including an Italian-German-English glossary and a list of accommodation
providers and websites and details of all rifugios on or near the
routes.
