Escape the busy trails and discover the quiet side of the Dolomites on the Alta Via della Marmotta. This 5-day route takes you through untamed landscapes, where thundering waterfalls, hidden lakes, and empty mountain passes create a sense of solitude you won’t find on the more crowded Alta Vias. With your first and last nights included in the charming alpine towns of San Vito di Cadore and Auronzo, all you need to do is lace up your boots and hit the trail.
Ideal for experienced hikers or fit first-timers looking for an authentic challenge, this trek moves from forested paths to exposed ridgelines, offering epic views and ever-changing terrain. You’ll pass highlights like the dramatic Marmarole peaks, the serene Santa Caterina Lake, and the echoing roar of the Cascata delle Pile. Evenings are spent in cozy rifugios where warm welcomes and filling mountain meals round off each day. In just five days, you get a powerful hit of everything that makes the Dolomites unforgettable.
To make things even easier, the trek includes overnight stays before and after the hike. Start in the laid-back mountain town of San Vito di Cadore and end in Auronzo with a proper bed and hot shower — no rushing, just a complete, well-rounded Dolomites adventure.
