Description
The Dolomites Haute Route offers the possibility of exploring the eastern part of this mountain range. This 6-day excursion goes from Sesto, in Val Pusteria, to Pieve di Cadore and is full of spectacular attractions: the Tre Cime di Lavaredo, the bizarre rock formations of Cadini di Misurina, the aquamarine blue Sorapis lake and the impressive Antelao glacier.
On the first day, you will enjoy impressive views of the north side of the Tre Cime di Lavaredo. We will watch it from the Antonio Locatelli Refuge, where we will spend the night.
We will then cross the Lavaredo Forcella, pass on Auronzo refuge and deal with our first Via Ferrata: the Bonacossa. After that, we will walk across valleys and rocks and get to climb simple but exciting steps. On the way, we will walk on the Antelao Glacier and then sleep in its refuge.
This is a demanding trip as we will be climbing up to 1,200 meters per day in 7-hour walks. So safety equipment, a good head for heights and a very good fitness level are essential.
Please contact me to book a spot. You will not regret it!
