If you are looking for a hiking vacation that is not too technically difficult, the Dolorama Way in Italy is the perfect match for you. In addition to the popular Alta Via 1 and Alta Via 2, this hike also gives you the chance to discover the beauty of the Dolomites.

The distance of the complete route is 61 kilometers divided into 4 stages. Through the well-marked mountain trails you will walk between rock formations and vast Alpine meadows. This 4-day package is suitable for any hiker with a good basic condition and therefore perfect as a first introduction to a hut tour. Should you want to make it a little easier, choose the 5-day package. We then divide the number of kilometers of the first day over 2 days.

The first stage of the hike starts at the Zumis parking lot. You can take the bus from Rodeneck, or park your car at the paid parking lot near the starting point.

Through the Schöpfungsweg you walk to the Roner Alm. Once here, follow path no. 2 in a southeasterly direction until you reach the Rastner- or Starkenfeldhütte. This is a good time to take your first break since you have completed the first 6 kilometers. After the Starkenfeldhütte, continue your way to the Steiner Alm, a short hike of about 1.5 kilometers. Continue your hike toward Campill and take a moment here to take in the panorama of both the Austrian and South Tyrolean Alps. Continue walking for 3 kilometers and approach the chapel of the Jakobsstöckl. After another 3 kilometers you will reach the Glittner See, or Lago di Rina. The next part of the hike takes you to the Furc de Lijun pass. From here you can count down, because if you follow trail 1, it's only 2.5 kilometers to the Maurerberghütte (2,157m).
