Challenging hikes in the Dolomites
Routes for experienced hikers (grade EE): significant elevation gain, exposed sections and a sure step required.
Challenging hikes in the Dolomites are designed for those who already have mountain experience and trained legs: grade EE (experienced hiker) routes with significant elevation gain, exposed sections and passages over scree or faint tracks, where a sure step and a head for heights are needed.
These are the treks that bring the greatest rewards, climbing towards saddles, panoramic summits and high-altitude huts. For each route we note elevation gain, times and difficulty, so you can judge whether it's within your reach. Set off early, check the weather and bring proper boots and clothing: conditions change fast at altitude.
