Route: Alta Via 2 (Italy)

Located in northeastern Italy, the Dolomites are one of Europe’s most dramatic mountain ranges. A combination of serrated limestone peaks, sheer cliffs, shimmering alpine lakes and deep, narrow valleys, they have long been a magnet for geologists, travellers and outdoor enthusiasts alike. From a hiker’s perspective, this legendary sub-range of the Alps boasts an extensive system of pathways (i.e. “Vias”), and of the many trails that crisscross its rugged topography, arguably the most spectacular of them all is the 160 km (99 mi) long Alta Via 2 (AV2).https://www.thehikinglife.com/2019/11/a-quick-and-dirty-guide-to-the-alta-via-2/
