The Alta Via N°5 delle Dolomiti is a high-mountain route of 77.6 km crossing the Dolomites between Trentino-Alto Adige and Veneto, in Italy. The trail winds through summits, ridges, valleys, cliffs, forests and lakes, with a highest point at 2,603 metres above sea level. The landscapes encountered offer a remarkable diversity of landforms characteristic of the Dolomites. The significant cumulative elevation change, with nearly 5,700 metres of ascent and 6,100 metres of descent, reflects the committed and alpine nature of this route. This trek takes place entirely in Italy, at the heart of a massif listed as a UNESCO World Heritage Site.
