The Alta Via 1 is the most famous hut-to-hut High Route in the Dolomites connecting its best-known landmarks. It dates back to the 1969 when the Alta Via 1 itinerary was first published and received its actual name. The classic Alta Via 1 goes from the Braies lake in South Tyrol to a town of Belluno at the southern edge of the Dolomites. This multi-day trekking route links several well-known landmarks of the Dolomite Mountains including the Braies lake, Lagazuoi massif, Cinque Torri group, Monte Pelmo, and the Civetta and Moiazza massifs. These are the true calling cards of the Dolomite Alps what makes Alta Via 1 so popular.
