Alpine routes in Sovramonte

Introduction to the Alta Via di Sovramonte

The Alta Via di Sovramonte is one of the hidden gems of the Dolomites, located in the heart of Veneto. This hiking route winds its way through breathtaking landscapes and offers adventurous hikers a unique high mountain experience. With its spectacular views and variety of terrain, this area is perfect for those who enjoy walking immersed in nature.

Geographical location

Sovramonte lies at the foot of the majestic Belluno Dolomites and is easily accessible from the town of Feltre. Its strategic location makes it possible to explore not only the surrounding area but also the highest peaks that characterize this corner of Italy. The rolling hills and steep mountains create a fascinating contrast that attracts hikers from all over the world.

Characteristics of the Alta Via

The High Routes are trails that generally exceed 3,000 meters in elevation; however, the Sovramonte High Route has challenging sections even at lower elevations. Here you will find unprotected rocky passages on ice or stone, making it necessary to have good physical and mental preparation as well as proper equipment such as crampons and ice axes. This experience often takes several days-you can stay overnight in mountain huts along the way where you can enjoy traditional local dishes while sharing stories with other enthusiasts.
