1 # Alta Via 2 2 3  4 5 [Alta Via 2](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Alta_Via_2) is high mountain 6 route in the [Dolomites](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Dolomites). It goes 7 from [Brixen](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Brixen), in South Tyrol, to 8 [Feltre](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Feltre), the city where I was born. 9 With its 180km of lenght and around 10000 meters of altitude gain, it 10 requires multiple days to complete, with most guides suggesting a 12- 11 or 13-day itinerary. 12 13 In August 2025, my father and I completed this route, walking for 14 9 consecutive days. In these pages I am going to tell you about 15 this adventure, and share some of the pictures that we took. 16 If you are interested in hiking similar routes, you may find 17 some useful information here, but I am not aiming at writing a 18 technical description of the hike. If you are just interested 19 in watching the pictures, you can find them in [this google drive 20 folder](https://drive.google.com/drive/folders/1dVb3_vxpRhcRsMq5lOmuu-DCY0bE01pD) 21 (until I figure out a good way to host them on this website). 22 23 Note: in order to limit the size of this website, the pictures you find 24 in these pages are scaled down.
