Product Description

Product Description

This guide leads you through breathtaking alpine scenery flanked by well-graded paths and excellent mountain refuges that verge on hotels, which are easily accessible with the excellent network of public transport from major towns and travel hubs, such as Venice, Verona, Munich and Innsbruck. Any one of these fabulous multi-day walks make for a memorable holiday in Italy's breathtaking Dolomite mountains. The author weaves the best of her 20-year experience and knowledge of this spectacular region into an original selection of itineraries on foot across each Dolomite group. Many walks follow mule-tracks constructed by troops during the First World War, when Italy fought Austria for possession of crazy summits and tunnels were hewn through impossible mountain-sides. The highlights are emphasised and the routes are furnished with fascinating explanations of wildlife and flowers. Everything, from a stroll through woods and meadows to family routes, steep rocky zigzag passages and hands-on clambers, is covered. This full colour revised edition has a wealth of inspiring photos, detailed maps, myriad new routes and heaps of practical help on travelling, sleeping and eating.

4.0 out of 5 stars Efficient guidebook, if a little dry, 19 Sep 2000
By A. Ashton - See all my reviews
(REAL NAME)   
This review is from: Walking in the Dolomites (A Cicerone guide) (Paperback)
Gillian Price's book guided us very sensibly around the Dolomites last summer, and in terms of description of routes and estimation of difficulty it would be hard to fault it. Her coverage of flora and fauna was also excellent. Don't expect to be too thrilled by it, though; the author leaves you to discover the real beauty of the area for yourself, as the pages do not exactly brim with mouth watering descriptions. Also, hostels in the Dolomites vary from the basic and colourful to the commercial/industrial (although with nice showers)and the book does not give much indication of individual hostel character.

In summary, it's a bit lacking in warmth and human detail, but it delivers what it promises: a very efficient guide to walking in the dolomites, which gives accurate descriptions of the routes involved, and of their length and difficulty.

4.0 out of 5 stars Excellent Guidebook, 14 Feb 2007
By gabhla (Ireland) - See all my reviews
I've used this book on 2 trips I organised to the Dolomites, and found it to be excellent, lots of walks, many of which can be completed in a day.
If you planning a trip, it's a must buy. You need to buy the Tabacco maps mentioned at the start of each walk, in order to get the most from the book.
