 ## Planning the route
 
 Most sources (including the one I followed, a red booklet that I
-can't find online, but whose content is mostly summarized in
-[this website](https://www.altavia2dolomiti.com/percorso))
-suggest walking Alta Via 2 in 12 or 13 days, but in this way some of
-the days consist of less than 5 hours of walking. On the other hand,
-well-trained hikers could complete the whole route in 7 days or less. We
-decided that 10 days would be a good middle ground for having a fun and
-intense hike without overdoing it. In hindsight this was a good plan, but
-I don't think I would have minded some of those short walking days.

 For multiple reasons, we decided to sleep in huts rather than camping.
 Since these regions tend to be quite popular with turists, we decided to
-book our accommodations early on.  We started booking in May, thinking it
-would be early enough, but it was not - at least for part in
-[Südtirol](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/South_Tyrol).
-None of the huts in our first two days of had any spare bed. We contacted
-all the places that were somewhat close to our path, to no avail. In the
-end we were forced to squeeze the first 3 days into 2, and make a long
-detour to reach a nearby village to sleep in a B&B on our first night.
