The Alta Via del Granito is not just another Alta Via. “Alta Via” literally means “high route”, and there are many of them in the Dolomites. You may already know the classics Alta Via 1 and Alta Via 2, but this trail takes you somewhere different: the rugged granite landscapes of the quiet Lagorai mountain range. You will hike a circular route through the Cima d’Asta – Cime di Rava massif, along old military paths and World War I routes. This hidden gem is especially popular among Italian hikers and connects the only two mountain huts in the area: Rifugio Conseria and Rifugio Caldenave. We have designed a moderate 4-day hut-to-hut Dolomites trek, ideal for those who prefer to take it a bit easier.
Although the route is classified as T2, it should not be underestimated. The trails are generally well-marked, but they do require solid fitness. Along the way, you will encounter exposed sections, loose stones, rough terrain, and large granite boulders right on the path. This is true mountain hiking and therefore good preparation and surefootedness are essential here.
