Italy’s Active Travel Leader, Dolomite Mountains Ltd,
Plans Now for September Hike To Help Guests Lose Themselves
In Wilderness of Italian Alps Far from Civilization
DOLOMITES, Italy, Aug. 9, 2012 – Italy’s active leader in guided and self-guided mountain travel, Dolomite Mountains Ltd. http://dolomitemountains.com/en/home.htm, announces it is making plans now to help guests immerse themselves in the Dolomites, one of Europe’s last remaining regions of vast wilderness, this fall.
 A Sept. 8-18 hiking trip from north to south along the 75-mile mountain route Alia Via 1 forsakes civilization for 10 days, promising wilderness only surrounded by the jagged peaks of Cinque Torri (five towers). Gue The trip starts and finishes in Cortina d’Ampezzo, following a route with relics from WWI and reaching heights of 2,752 meters. Guests lodge along this classic high route in authentic Italian refugios (mountain huts). http://www.dolomitemountains.com/en/summer_fall_trips/haute_routes433.htm?list=haute_routes&id=433&depart=64&book=0
The per person rate is from 1,890 Euros, including all accommodation, transportation of luggage and expert English speaking local mountain guides (self-guided trips from 1,330 Euros) and flights to Venice, Verona or Innsbruck. Tailor-made itineraries for groups can be arranged.
A shorter version is a five-day program from 1,160 Euros guided and 840 Euros self-guided. http://dolomitemountains.com/en/summer_fall_trips/haute_routes475.htm
Dolomite Mountains Ltd. is the only Dolomite operator to offer this route guided thanks to English-speaking UIAGM/IFMGA mountain guides who are conversant with every angle of the Dolomites.
The tour includes views of the northern face of Croda Rossa Mountain, so called because of its blood-red rock caused by the presence of iron oxide, and a lake-filled landscape along the Ru d’Al Plan River. The “Queen of the Dolomites” is forthcoming as the Marmolade Massif before exploring high meadows and karst formations and climbing to the Forcella del Lago, a narrow and dramatic gap in the mountain with a trail descent through steep talus on the south side. At the base of the slope is the lake called Lago di Lagazuoi whose green waters are framed by pines with a backdrop of the sheer walls of the Cima del Lago and the Cima Scottoni. The “wall of walls” extending for over four miles is known as the west face of Monte Civetta that looks down to the Alleghe Valley.
Italy’s Dolomites are a UNESCO World Heritage Site.
