Alta Via 1

La classica — the first and most walked of the Dolomite high routes, running the length of the range from the Alto Adige down into the Veneto. It starts at the green water of Lago di Braies, crosses the Fanes and Tofane groups, passes under the Civetta's north-west wall and ends at Belluno. Hut to hut the whole way, on a blue triangle marked 1. [Route details] Start: Lago di Braies · End: Belluno 118.0 km · north to south · 390 m to 2,617 m Usually 8 to 13 days [Good to know] - Refuges open roughly late June to late September and book out; the route is graded EEA, so some sections are exposed and a few have cable. - The source marks 134 of its 391 ways as alternatives — the variants and via ferrata lines that leave the main route. Only the main line is here. - The relation states 125 km; this line measures 118.0 km on its own geometry. - Elevation is sampled from a terrain model, not recorded on the ground.
