Dolomites AV2 trail 2023

The Alta Via 2 is a very cool high level hike that traverses the Italian Dolomites mountain range north to south. With lots of ascent and descent and some scrambling- 'via ferrata' sections it provides a really fun 1-2 week hike. There are Refugio's along the way that can be used but I, Brian mostly wild camped starting 23rd August into the first week September 2023.

Before the hike I visited the Bolzano museum where the frozen 5300yo 'Otzi man' lies	Map of route from the Cicerone guidebook	Starting from the town of Brixen there are early views of the Dolomites - the Odles range
