Opis:
Guidebook to 25 multi day walks in the Dolomites mountains of northeast of Italy. The walks are mostly circular and 2 to 4 days long, and take in the Marmarole, Marmolada, Civet, Sella and Cortina Dolomites among others. Includes notes on accommodation, wildlife, transport, equipment, a glossary and other practical information.
This guidebook describes 25 hut-to-hut treks in the Dolomites of northern Italy, covering 15 regions including Cortina, Sella, Sesto, Marmolada and Latemar. Ranging from 11.3km to 40.8km and from two to four days, the graded routes are suitable for walkers with a reasonable level of fitness and experience of mountain terrain, and some feature exposed sections which demand a good head for heights. This edition includes a number of treks in less frequently visited rugged districts, as well as the more popular trips, all of which take advantage of the region's network of mountain refuges and efficient public transport system, with the majority of routes accessible by public bus.
Detailed route description is
presented alongside mapping and stunning colour photography and the guide also
suggests alternative access and exit routes, and options for linking routes to
create a longer trek. There is plenty of advice to help make the most of a trip
as well as background information on the region's geology, plants and wildlife
and local cuisine.
The Dolomites - a UNESCO World
Heritage Site - are characterised by striking volcanic and sedimentary rock
formations. Walking is an ideal way to discover this breathtaking landscape of
angular peaks, towering pinnacles and jagged ridges, and the carefully chosen
routes in this guide will exhilarate, challenge and inspire.
