We present to you the Alta Via della Marmotta, a hiking trail that offers a more peaceful alternative for those seeking an adventure in the Italian Dolomites. Why an alternative, you ask? Well, the Alta Via 1 and 2 are the more popular routes in the Dolomite region. However, the popularity of these treks has increased significantly and they are selling out earlier each season. That is why the Alta Via della Marmotta is a good solution to two main issues: first, the fact that the huts sell out quickly, and second, the number of trekkers on the trails. Let’s face it, if you are going on a hiking trip, you want to be able to enjoy all its perks, including peace and quiet. Starting in San Vito di Cadore and ending in Auronzo, this trek is easily accessible by bus from Cortina d’Ampezzo. On the trails, you will enjoy majestic views of peaks like the Antelao and the Marmarole, while experiencing authentic Tyrolean hospitality and delicious regional cuisine. This trek uncovers a different, quieter side of the Dolomites. Are you ready to discover it with us? Watch our video below to get a glimpse of what trekking in northern Italy looks like:
