Hut to Hut in the Dolomites by Highline

Description:

A high alpine adventure like no other…

Starting and finishing in Cortina d’Ampezzo, this retreat will have you speed-hiking and trail running along the Alta Via 1—one of the most famous and breathtaking High Routes of the Italian Dolomites, a UNESCO World Heritage Site. The Dolomites are one of the most majestic mountain ranges in the world, each day on the trail is somehow more epic than the last.

Our format on this trip is point-to-point, traveling by foot, and lodging in mountain Rifugios. Accessible almost exclusively by foot, Rifuigi are charming alpine “huts” set high in the mountains. Don’t le the word “hut” fool you, the Dolomite rifugi are considered by many the best in the Alps and the ones we’ve selected for this trip are all privately owned (much nicer than the alpine club Rifugi) and feature exceptional local cuisine. Our itinerary will showcase trails and peaks with vistas of over 80% of the Dolomite Mountains.

Traversing mountain passes and running at altitude is considered challenging. To keep this run-centric trip inclusive, we’ll keep the pace slow and comfortable. We hike the inclines, take it easy through the technical terrain, and pause for breaks throughout the day.

On this adventure, we’ll run, hike, relax and explore in the evergreen woods, alpine meadows and lunar landscapes of the Dolomites limestone peaks. Join us!
