If you're after the breathtaking alpine scenery of the Dolomites without committing to a full week in the mountains, our Alta Via 1 Southern Highlights is the perfect solution.
This carefully crafted route distills the very essence of the southern Dolomites into a five-day journey, combining the most iconic landscapes with an immersive yet manageable adventure.
You'll traverse a selection of the most memorable stretches of Alta Via 1 in its less-known southern section. Picture yourself hiking beneath the towering Monte Civetta, winding through the lush meadows of Passo Giau, and soaking in uninterrupted views that stretch as far as the eye can see.
This tour has two slightly longer hiking days, allowing well-prepared hikers to spend less time on the trail overall.
What sets this tour apart is its exclusivity. The southern sections beyond Passo Giau are far less crowded, allowing you to experience the Dolomites in their raw, tranquil beauty.
You'll enjoy the same iconic views with more peace and solitude — no crowds, no distractions, just pure alpine magic.
With accommodations booked at welcoming mountain huts and a detailed itinerary and GPS tracks provided in advance, you can focus entirely on the experience.
So, if you're ready for an unforgettable journey through the heart of the Dolomites — without the time commitment of an entire trek — the Alta Via 1 Southern Highlights awaits!

We had a lovely hike today with our guide Klemen. He personalized the tour on our needs and interests, so that we saw places we wouldn't without his experience. The hike was a little bit slippery after the rain from the last days and it went a lot upwards, but it was totally worth it! Thanks again :)


Well organized trip. The travel agents were extremely communicative, provided great service, and made adjustments as needed. The GPS app provided was another highlight. It worked exceptionally well made the trek much easier. The itinerary was thorough and included lots of extra details about the region as well as scaling options. The only drawbacks were that the company is based in Slovenia (doesn't seem to have a presence in South Tyrol), and the cost, which was higher than similar treks from competitors.
Our 3 day hike had to be rearranged 2/2 weather, so a one day hike was arranged for us. We appreciated the concern about weather and conditions. Our hike was with Matevz, who was a great guide. Very helpful and knowledgable. Would definitely recommend and will be back for a longer hike one day!
