Dolomite Hiking Trails No. 2 and 8

The Dolomite Hiking Trail No. 2 (Alta Via No. 2) is one of the great Dolomite crossing paths from north to south and passes through impressive mountain terrain. It begins in the oldest town in Tyrol – Bressanone – and leads to Feltre. The entire route is approx. 185 km long and can be covered in 15 days. The trail is divided into several stages of about 4 hours each and offers several ways to end the hike earlier. The first stage of the Dolomite Hiking Trail No. 2 leads from Bressanone to the lodge Plosehütte and is very well suited to get you started. After a night at the lodge you’ll continue to the Peitlerscharte all the way to the lodge Schlütterhütte.

Also the Dolomite Hiking Trail No. 8 begins in Bressanone and leads to Salorno. In 13 days, about 160 km will be covered. Again, the lodge Plosehütte is the first overnight destination.
