This trip combines five activity days and two travel days in the Italian Dolomites. The outline programme visits the Marmolada, Tofana di Rozes, Civetta and Tre Cime di Lavaredo areas, using huts such as Castiglioni, Dibona, Torrani and Auronzo. A minibus driven by the guide allows transfers between areas and carrying the equipment needed for each day. The itinerary includes high mountain terrain, via ferrata and, on the described stages, snow or glacier travel.
This trip links different Dolomite sectors through varied via ferrata and high mountain days.
