Hiking is not limited to day trips and easy paths. Thanks to the good hiking route network, you can go on outdoor adventures lasting several days in Italy. Also, the network of paths in Bella Italia is not limited to national borders. European long-distance hiking trails such as the E1, E5, E7 and E12 extend over several kilometers and lead directly from neighboring countries to Italy.

Dass dieser Tourenvorschlag oben am Passo Rolle, am Fuße des „Matterhorns der Dolomiten“ und nicht unten in San Martino di Castrozza beginnt, hat einen guten Grund. Denn die im Talort beginnende, bekannte Rundtour „Palaronda“ lässt den nördlichen Teil der Pala Gruppe aus.

Dolomites World Heritage Geotrail II by Matias

I started the trial on June 2024. You should know that some section of the trial are not longer available - if they ever were -. But more important, some “pasos” are super dangerous unless there is no snow. You should ask in the routes are open before trying to cross them.
