The Alta Via "dei camosci" (of the Chamois) twists and turns for 100km from Villabassa-Niederdorf in the Puster GValley (Bolzano) to Longarone (Belluno). Suitable for experienced hikers, it's a magnificent and wild trail that, especially in the final part, passes through little frequented areas.
The Route starts from the Fannes-Senes and Braies Natural Park and passes through the Dolomiti di Sesto National Park. On the way you'll meet some symbolic places of the First World War as Forte Prato Piazza and the Mount Piana.
The trail continues under the shadows of the Tre Cime di Lavaredo to reach Sorapiss where you can enjoy the sight of the amazing turquoise waters of the lake with the same name.The traverse, exposed in some parts, that descends fromSan Vito di Cadore is trulysuggestive and the via ferrata Berti is even harder.
the Boite Valley introduces to the Pelmo groupand the Monte Rite, on whose top there is the Messner Mountain Museum. From here, you'll enterthe Bosconero group: the most uncorrupted part of the mountain, that here retains the charms of the unexplored, with chamois that rule undisturbed.
The climb to the forcella Toanella, just next the Sasso di Bosconeromount, and the "Viaz"de la Ponte, that leads to the Oriented Nature Reserve Val Tovanella, are amazingand particulary hard.
At the end, you'll reach Longarone on comfortable cart tracks, passing through the village of Podenzoi. The peculiarities of this trail are the great silence and the isolation that these extremely wild places have and that can be psychologically challenging for the hikers.
