Alpine Treks

High-mountain routes in the Alps and Dolomites, with characteristic rifugi and passes above 2,500 m. They include the iconic Tour du Mont Blanc loop and the lesser-known Alta Via in the Dolomites. The terrain demands good fitness and mountain experience, but rewards with iconic panoramas.
