Skip the crowds on the Alta Via 1 and 2 — this 3-day adventure offers a wilder, quieter slice of the Dolomites. Designed for hikers with some experience, the Alta Via della Marmotta delivers stunning views, remote valleys, and high mountain passes in a compact, rewarding format. Picture yourself watching the sun rise over silent peaks, following winding trails through larch forests, and hearing nothing but the wind and your own footsteps.

The route covers 35 kilometers from San Vito to Auronzo, with plenty of elevation and a challenging second day that stretches up to 8 hours. Along the way, you’ll pass roaring waterfalls like Cascata delle Pile, take in the still beauty of Santa Caterina Lake, and recharge with hearty mountain meals in cozy rifugios as the stars appear overhead. It’s tough at times, but every step is worth it.

The best time to hike is from mid-June to late September. You won’t need technical gear, but strong legs and some mountain experience are a must. This isn’t your first hike — it’s the one that makes you fall even deeper in love with trekking.
