Trip Details and Small Print - Best Via Ferrata - High Peaks
Can I do
it?
This is certainly our most demanding
via ferrata trip. In opposite to our "Best
Via Ferrata around Cortina", this trip focuses more
on via ferrata and less on trail hiking. We usually mix more
strenuous days with shorter days, to make the pace sustainable
over the 6 days of hiking and scrambling. The fact that we are
valley-based, however does give participants the choice to sit
out a day.
What are the Huts like? Double Rooms? Showers? Food Choices?
We
will only be staying in one hut, which is one of the smallest
in the Dolomites. Great views, food and drinks catered by hut
keeper Venturino. Sleeping is in one room with bunk beds.
Meeting Point / Airport:
Meet with
your guide at 6 PM on the first day at the Sport hotel Alleghe
for a briefing on the itinerary, weather forecast and conditions
before having dinner together in the Hotel.
Alleghe
is most easily reached from Venice Airport. Options: Public
train/bus (4 hours), private airport shuttle (1.5 hrs) can be
arranged on request. We commonly assist our clients with ride
sharing to reduce cost. Also, we gladly assist you in any pre-
or post trip lodging reservations.
Climate, Weather, Temperatures:
The
Dolomites, being on the "sunny side of the Alps" are
usually blessed with lasting high pressure systems in September.
However, there is also a chance to see some snow, if a storm
hits. Hence, day time temperatures can range from -5C (23F)
to 25C (77F).
