> The first 6 stages of the notorious Alta Via 2

> Spend the night in cozy Italian Rifugios

> We book your accommodation

The Alta Via 2 is one of the 6 famous Alta Via treks in the Italian Dolomites. If you are looking for your next challenge, the Alta Via 2 is the perfect match. This trek is full of adrenaline and only suitable for experienced trekkers with surefootedness, experience in the mountains, and a head for heights. The Alta Via 2 includes sharp ridges, Via Ferratas, and steep slopes. Are you brave enough to face it?

The entire Alta Via 2 can be completed in 11 to 14 days. This 6-day option covers the first somewhat less-technical half of the Alta Via 2, from Brixen / Bressanone to San Pellegrino. Don't be mistaken, the trek still offers challenging trails, the possibility of conquering Via Ferratas and accommodation in the best Italian mountains huts. Don't forget to soak up the views and the fantastic Northern Italian cuisine.
