Trek the dramatic peaks, jagged ridges, and alpine valleys of the western Dolomites on the Alta Via 2 (AV2), a 174km (108 mile) long-distance trail from Bressanone to Feltre. This classic north-south route threads through some of Italy's most stunning mountain scenery, including rocky passes, high plateaus, and scenic valleys, with opportunities to explore traditional mountain villages and alpine huts along the way.
Suitable for experienced trekkers with a good level of fitness, AV2 typically takes around two weeks to complete. The route is divided into 13 stages of 8-22 km (5-14 miles), with alternative 3- or 6-day sections for those who prefer shorter excursions. A dedicated map booklet, featuring Kompass 1:25,000 maps with the full route line clearly marked, allows you to navigate the trail with confidence.
- 13 stage-by-stage route descriptions covering the full Alta Via 2 from Bressanone to Feltre, with distances, terrain summaries, and daily hiking times

- GPX files for the Alta Via 2 compatible with GPS devices and smartphone apps, allowing easy digital navigation on alpine terrain
- Alternative 3- or 6-day sections and exit routes, plus overview maps and route descriptions for Alta Via 3, 4, 5, and 6, for planning shorter hikes or extended trekking adventures in the central and eastern Dolomites
- Detailed information about mountain huts, refugios, and facilities along the route, with guidance on transport links and logistics
- Planning and preparation advice, including what to pack, seasonal considerations, and tips for navigating the high mountain passes of Italy's Southern Limestone Alps
- Key highlights include the jagged Sella Group, scenic alpine valleys, historic villages, and panoramic Dolomite peaks along the north-south trail
