Alta Via 2

Alta via 2 is a high route located in the Italian Dolomites between Brixen (Bressanone) in the north and Croce d'Aune near Feltre in the south.

Hikers who are not prepared or not willing to take along the needed equipment can take the alternative route which bypasses Marmolada and leads from Pian di Fedaia Rifugio Marmolada to Malga Ciapela and then to Rifugio Fuciade, where it connects with the original path.

Hikers who chose this alternative route often take the bus from Pian di Fedaia Rifugio Marmolada to Malga Ciapela as this part consists of asphalt road.

The trail is well marked with red and white paint splashes, cairns, and occasional dark blue triangular symbols containing the number '2'.

[citation needed] The trail can be partitioned into sections in many ways, depending on fitness and the route variants chosen.
