Hikes for experienced hikers in the Dolomites

Challenging (EE) and equipped (EEA) routes for anyone after serious elevation gain, exposure and via ferratas.

For people who want the real mountains, these are the hikes for experienced hikers: challenging grade EE routes and equipped EEA routes, with big elevation gain, exposed sections and via ferratas that test legs, lungs and technique.

This page gathers the most serious routes, from high traverses to panoramic via ferratas. For each one we note the elevation gain, the difficulty and the gear. Always read the weather and the ground, and don't shrug off the times. In hard terrain, caution is what makes the difference.
