The Alta Via Dolomiti 8 is also known as the “Alta Via of the Heroes” because it traces the paths of Alpini soldiers, crosses former battlegrounds and passes relics from the First World War. As well as a journey of historical discovery, the Alta Via 8 is also a trail through enchanting, remote landscapes. It crosses the magnificent Grappa Massif and three Veneto provinces: Belluno, Treviso and Vicenza. The toughest section comes between Karer Pass up to the Rifugio di Pisa, but on the whole the route is a lot less technically challenging than many of the other Alta Via’s.
