This guide describes 50 walks in the Dolomites mountains, a UNESCO World Heritage Site, in northeast Italy. Carefully selected to savour the unique character of the area, each route can be tackled in a single day, allowing walkers to travel light and return to their accommodation at day's end. From the iconic Tre Cime di Lavaredo and throne-like Pelmo to the Queen of the Dolomites, the Marmolada, and the fairytale Brenta Dolomites, the routes range from hourlong walks to full-day expeditions, graded from easy to strenuous.
The Dolomites are easily accessible by train via Austria and Italy, as well as from Verona, Venice, Treviso and Innsbruck airports. An ideal walking destination from June to October, with low-level routes accessible in May. Packed with notes on transport, history, culture and gastronomy. Includes an Italian-German-English glossary and listing of rifugi and accommodation providers.
