walks in the Dolomites of north east Italy. The guide describes 50 walks, graded
from easy to strenuous, and varying in length from 5 km strolls to 20km full-day
expeditions. The Dolomites are suitable for summer walking, and the mountains
are easily accessible, just across the border from Austria and easily reached
from Verona, Treviso, Venice and Innsbruck airports. The Dolomites are blessed
with vast forests, high-altitude rocky landscapes and seas of beautiful
wildflowers and the range is now a designated Unesco World Heritage Site
encompassing a national park - Parco Nazionale Dolomiti Bellunesi - and several
other protected areas. Highlights include the Tre Cime di Lavaredo, the Civetta,
the Piz Boč circuit on the Sella massif and the Sentiero delle Odle. This guide
offers something for every walking ability and preference, and includes all the
background and planning information you need to plan a trip, including an
Italian-German-English glossary and a list of accommodation providers and
websites and details of all rifugios on or near the routes.
