Challenging hikes in the Dolomites
Routes for experienced hikers (grade EE), with big elevation gain, exposed sections and a sure step needed.
Challenging hikes are for people who already have mountain miles in their legs. These are grade EE (experienced hiker) routes, with serious elevation gain, exposed sections and passages over scree or faint tracks, where a sure step and a head for heights count.
They're also the treks that pay back the most, climbing to saddles, panoramic summits and high huts. For each route we note the elevation gain, the times and the difficulty, so you can judge whether it's within reach. Start early, check the weather, and bring proper boots and clothing. At altitude, conditions turn fast.
