Passo Cereda

This special blog is finally here, where we've gathered some of your favorite memories. We've received hundreds (if not thousands) of your photos, and believe me, it's been quite challenging to decide which ones to share with you in this post. In this blog, you'll find the best of the best, a mix of the finest views captured by our hikers, their favorite spots to rest (and enjoy a well-deserved cold beer), the obstacles they've overcome on the journey, the shelters where they've slept comfortably at night, how the route looks in different seasons, and much more. If you've sent us your photos but they didn't make it to this blog, don't worry! There will be many more opportunities, so stay tuned and wait for the next edition. I warn you, if you keep reading this, you'll have an irresistible urge to pack your backpack and embark on the adventure. That's coming from me, writing this from the offices of Bookatrekking.com (and even though it's very nice here), what I wouldn't give for a getaway to the Balkans or an adventure in the Chilean Patagonia or an expedition in Nepal or an ascent to the roof of Africa... Well, well, I'll stop now! So, stay with me if you want to feel a little envy, it'll be worth it!

The Alta Via 2, the more adventurous of the Alta Via routes, is calling your name! This isn’t just any trail; it’s a true challenge through the rugged heart of the Dolomites. Picture jagged limestone peaks towering above you, each day bringing a new mix of steep climbs and thrilling ridgelines. And after those long days on the trail? You’ll relax in rustic mountain huts and enjoy South Tyrolean meals. The Alta Via 2 isn’t for the faint-hearted, but for those craving an authentic wilderness adventure. And trust me, this trek delivers. Big time. In this blog, we'll guide you through the route’s difficulty, different itinerary options, and what it's like to stay in remote rifugios high in the mountains. Every year, we help countless trekkers book their accommodations along this beautiful, quieter path, as well as in many other popular trekking routes in Europe. If you’re ready for a demanding journey through some of the most stunning landscapes in the Dolomites, we’ve got your back! With the right preparation, any trek is possible.
