8-Nights Italy Dolomites Alta Via Hiking

MT Sobek brings together the most spectacular stages of Alta Via 1, the classic "High Toute," and Alta Via 2, the "Way of Legends," in one epic Dolomites hiking adventure shaped with our signature expertise. Follow ancient merchant paths beneath soaring limestone towers, gaze across the ice of the Marmolada Glacier, stand below the Throne of the Gods, and trace high alpine trails through former WWI battlegrounds where remnants of the front line still mark the Dolomites' rugged slopes. These sought-after high routes reveal the Dolomites at their most dramatic, with big mountain days balanced by the comfort of handpicked 4-star boutique hotels in Val Gardena, Val di Fassa, and Cortina d'Ampezzo. Designed for strong hikers, and those ready to rise to the challenge.

Highlights:

• Link the finest stages of Alta Via 1 and 2 in one seamless adventure
• Stand beneath the Throne of the Gods and gaze across Marmolada's glacier
• Hike historic ridgelines by day and unwind in 4-star alpine hotels by night—including a stay in Cortina d'Ampezzo

Important Trip Details:
Expect 5 to 6 hours of hiking per day on well-marked but rugged alpine trails, with sustained elevation gain and loss on technical rocky terrain, including a 3,400' ascent and 5,800' descent in a single day. Cable car assists are used on two days. No technical climbing is required, but strong cardiovascular fitness and sure-footedness on steep terrain are essential.
