Alta Via 1,3 and 4 in the Italian Dolomites August 24 – September 9, 2018 Leader: Denise Snow Alta Via 1,3 and 4 in the Italian Dolomites August 24 – September 9, 2018 Leader: Denise Snow Dear Fellow CMC Member: Thank you for your interest in the Adventure Travel outing Alta Via 1,3 and 4 in the Italian Dolomites. Please read the following trip description and itinerary carefully before you consider applying for this trip. I have also included a suggested pack list and additional information for your consideration. To apply for a place on the outing, please complete the Trip Application, with the Personal Risk Statement and the Payment and Cancelation Policy. The group will have a maximum of 10 participants and a minimum of 8. All nights will be spent at Italian Alpine Club (CAI) huts, private mountain refuges or small hotels, mainly in remote locations, and all with hot showers. All accommodations will be a shared double room (in all hotels and otherwise where available) or dormitory. Once you apply, you will be notified if you are accepted for the outing. Once accepted, submit a $500 deposit to the CMC to reserve a place (see cancellation policy in the application). Please do not send money before it is requested. Final payment is due by May 28, 2018. The current in-country estimated trip costs are $2853 for members. The price includes: • All lodging for 15 nights • All breakfasts • All dinners except the three nights in Venice • Airport transfers to/from Venice • All transfers en route • Luggage transfer on the trek (all but 1 night which is unavailable) • Three roundtrip bus tickets and three roundtrip vaporetto tickets in Venice Airfare to Venice is not included. Also, expect to spend a few hundred dollars for trip insurance, dinner for three nights in Venice, all lunches and snacks, bar tabs, souvenirs, and any museum entrance fees in Venice. Non-members will be required to pay an administrative fee equal to 3% of the trip costs. Consider becoming a member to avoid this fee. Pre-requisites for the trip are very good physical conditioning, the ability to hike 62 miles in 10 days with 17, 000 feet of vertical gain and an ongoing, regular, conditioning program. A CMC-Denver Group hiker rating is not needed for this trip but some mountaineering experience and a head for a little bit of exposure is desired. We will carry day packs (a suggested list of items is provided) which include all clothing typically needed for changing alpine weather conditions. One night will be spent in CAI huts where no luggage transfer is possible. For these 2 days of hiking you will need to also carry a change of clothes, a sleep sack for hygienic purposes at the huts, personal toiletries, water and lunch. The huts provide bedding and meals. Because we will be hiking at alpine levels, the weather can be most unpredictable, necessitating well thought out element and clothing choices. Before applying, you may want to check with your “significant other,” employer, etc. to make sure you have the available time to do a 15-day trip overseas. There is no guarantee of someone being on the wait list to take your place if you have to cancel. You will need a valid passport, but no visa is required to enter Italy. Attendance of the pre-trip planning meeting is mandatory, as there will be much to discuss. The meeting will be conducted via teleconference, with presentation slides provided via YouTube, and you will receive ample notice of the date and time. Topics will include suggested equipment, packing, training, cultural notes, and security precautions Please let me know what questions you may have—I am at your disposal! Sincerely, Denise Snow [email protected] 719-687-9576 ALTA VIA 1, 3 and 4 IN THE ITALIAN DOLOMITES, AUGUST 24 – SEPTEMBER 9 2018, TRIP DESCRIPTION The Dolomites are located in the northeast corner of Italy, close to the Austrian border. From the American point of view, the Dolomites are perhaps Europe's most underappreciated mountain range. Despite their proximity to tourist-thronged Venice, not many Americans visit. Too bad. These ramparts of white and pink limestone thrusting up to 10,000 feet from rolling green meadows are more dramatic and esthetic (albeit smaller) than the familiar movie-logo snow-capped peaks of the Alps just to the north. Three-thousand-foot walls attract hard-core rock climbers, while energetic hikers tread a vast network of superb foot trails serviced by a system of rifugios—overnight huts that are really more like small basic hotels, with food, wine, heat, electric lights, bunks, many with hot showers and sometimes even private rooms. The rifugios allow a hiker carrying only a modest pack to stay out on the trail for days or even weeks at a time—an outdoor luxury virtually impossible on this side of the Atlantic. Much of this region was formerly part of the Austro- Hungarian Empire and following World War I was awarded to Italy. Subsequently, all of the names of the region, including the mountains, were translated into Italian. Yet today many of the region’s people still hold on tightly to their Tyrolean roots and speak German as well as Italian. Therefore, another thing that makes the Dolomites so special includes enjoying the wonderful Tyrolean/Italian blend of culture, architecture and cuisine. The Dolomites are justifiably popular. Here lies the beauty of the long distance, high-level trails, the Alte Vie or "high routes". Six established hiking trails traverse the Dolomites from top to bottom, from north to south, maintaining medium-high altitude with stunning vistas. In August 2016, I lead a CMC trekking trip on the Alta Via 1. This trip is a special compilation of the Alta Via 1, 3 and 4. The trip will mainly consist of a ten-day trek, on a connecting network of the Alta Via 1, 3 and 4, from mountain rifugio/hotel to mountain rifugio/hotel, for 62 miles with 17,000 feet of vertical gain (VG). Much of the hiking is above tree line with wonderful panoramic views and well marked trails. The rifugios/hotels are situated in remote and highly scenic places along the trails where you can buy drinks, meals or a night's lodging. There are an extraordinary variety of walks and hikes through every imaginable type of terrain, mountain formation and setting. There are gradual ascents through meadows and woods, which end at picturesque small lakes. The Pelmo Some trails pass through World War I ruins, some pass through the heart of a WWI battle zone where cut-away galleries can be seen. There are some strenuous, but magnificent mountain treks over rugged tundra between towering mountain walls where the change in elevation is a gain of 3000 feet and a loss of 3000 feet. There are many 360-degree views to be found. Some of the trails can be a little airy and in some places, there may be some stairs in place or cables to hold on to if the conditions are icy. However, none of the trails require any climbing or special equipment. All overnight stays on the trek will be in scenically placed rifugios, either privately run or Italian Alpine Club (CAI) huts, or small mountain hotels. All of the rifugios offer hot showers, some of them with restricted times operated with tokens. The easier access establishments, and all hotels, will offer private rooms with single or double occupancy. The listed price assumes double occupancy but there will be opportunities for single occupancy for an extra surcharge. Casunziei (beet filled ravioli) Kaiserschmarren All the rifugios will provide breakfast and dinner. The variety of foods offered will depend on the accessibility of the rifugio. Most Italian breakfasts are simple, mainly coffee, tea, breads and jams. Dinners will always be substantial and packed lunches are available at every rifugio for purchase. Our luggage will be transferred every night except for one night where we will stay in a remote CAI rifugio. Before the start of the trek we will have one afternoon to rest and/or visit Venice. We will also have a day to do a local hike to the famous Tre Cime di Lavaredo. After the trek, we will stay another two nights in Venice with one full day to explore this beautiful canalled city.

    ITINERARY 5C AURONZO MOUNTAIN HUT - FORCELLA LAVAREDO Sergio Poletto Sergio © description UNESCO Dolomites system Dolomiti Settentrionali mountain group(s) Tre Cime di Lavaredo UNESCO values Landscape: the Tre Cime di Lavaredo are the symbol of the Dolomites and hundreds of thousands of visitors flock here every year. The extraordinary iconic presence of these three stone giants, perfectly vertical and prism- shaped, has made them famous throughout the world. The route runs along the foot of the south side of the awe-inspiring massif and can be divided into two stages: the first one, which is easier, goes from the Auronzo mountain hut to the Lavaredo hut, and the second, more challenging stage, from the Lavaredo hut to Forcella Lavaredo. Every part of the route offers stunning scenery with spectacular views over the main groups of this enormous area. At Forcella Lavaredo the landscape reveals a never-ending horizon of Dolomite peaks and a breath-taking view over the nearby Tre Cime and Dolomiti di Sesto. Geology: the rocks in this impressive mountain group suffered little disturbance from the volcanic activity of the mid-Triassic period and recount the various stages in the evolution of the Triassic archipelago with extraordinary temporal continuity. The various generations of islands and reefs are preserved in their original shape and position. The vertical rock faces of some of the most imposing peaks (Tre Cime di Lavaredo, Monte Paterno and Croda dei Toni), carved out of Main Dolomite, are what remains of the great tidal plain which formed at the end of the Triassic. The southern parts show the geometry of the Carnian islands, clearly relating the stages in the disappearance of the Triassic Dolomite archipelago.
