At the break of dawn, you're standing on the edge of Passo San Pellegrino. The air is thin, your boots are laced, and ahead lies five days of raw Dolomitic glory. Welcome to the most thrilling segment of Alta Via 2. No filler, no fluff. This is the heartbeat of the Pale di San Martino, a rugged terrain where the trails are steep, the exposure real, and the rewards sky-high.

This trek is not for the faint-hearted. We’re talking T4 hiking with sections where a via ferrata set is more than just handy—it’s essential. But in return, you’ll get spine-tingling ridgelines, intimate encounters with vertical rock faces, and legendary rifugios where polenta and red wine taste better than ever. Volpi al Mulaz. Treviso. And more. If you're looking for the real deal Dolomites, this is it.
