11 DAY DOLOMITES HUT TO HUT ALTA VIA 1 TREK 16-26 AUG
GALZGONE WILD IS DOING THE INFAMOUS FULL DOLOMITES HUT TO HUT ALTA VIA 1 TREK NEXT YEAR! EEEEEK!
Join the Galz Gone Wild Community as we explore this scenic hut to hut adventure on a full 11 day itinerary of the Alta Via 1. This classic high route unravels amidst some of the most breathtaking landscapes in the Italian Alps, with eye watering vistas, rustic mountain huts, and a sense of discovery at every turn, this trek allows you to immerse yourself in the captivating landscapes of the Dolomites.
FAQ
IS THIS TREK FOR ME?
Yes of course! The Alta Via 1 trail is a long-distance moderately difficult hiking route with lots of elevation. Due to some steep, rocky and exposed ridges you should be prepared to hike on average around 13 kilometres and 750 meters of elevation daily for nine consecutive days. When the trip rolls around you should comfortably hike for up to 6-8 hours per day. If you are looking to take your next step on your hiking journey, are keen for a challenge or are looking to hike your first long distance trail then this is the perfect choice for those in search of an unforgettable and once in a lifetime trek. Lastly, you are incredibly strong and capable of achieving anything you set your mind to, including this trek. Trust in yourself and your abilities.
*Something to note:This trek is not suitable for those with a fear of heights or complete beginners new to hiking. A good baseline of fitness is needed.
WHAT TRAINING IS REQUIRED?
For any adventure holiday, physical preparation is crucial for a successful and enjoyable experience. If you are an experienced hiker who regularly goes on multi-day hikes and hikes weekly or bi-weekly, you are likely to already have a good foundation for a hut-to-hut trek. However, if you are not used to hiking, it is crucial to start training in advance. Giving yourself a good training block of 4-6 months should be enough time to feel happy in your ability and confident on the trail.
Training does NOT need to be hard, just consistent.
You should involve regular, shorter hikes to improve your endurance and speed include a 5-8 kilo weighted backpack. Ideally the backpack you intended to hike with on the trip. These hikes can be local and familiar to you. Gradually increase distance and elevation gain to force your body into making the necessary adaptations. Eventually, try incorporating two-day hikes into your training. They adequately simulate the demands of a hut-to-hut tour. Luckily we will be hosting a training weekend in early spring in Wicklow that will simulate what you can expect to experience on the trail. This will give you a great indication of where you are at with your ability and make any adjustments to your training if needs be.
WHERE IS THE TRAINING WEEKEND?
Your training weekend will run on a weekend and hosted by GGW’s Founder Mel and your GGW Host in Lynams Hotel in Laragh. There will be a 2 hour informal information session and Q&A. We will discuss training, gear, itinerary, flights and answer any questions you may have. Tea & coffee included.
After the information session we will head out on a 5-6 hour hike in the Wicklow mountains. The following day we will meet at a location for another 4-5 hour hike.
HOW HEAVY WILL MY BACKPACK BE?
We recommend a backpack between 30-35 litres 5-8 kilo pack but it all depends on how you like to pack and what you like to bring. It should be large enough to carry all your equipment but light enough to keep the weight down. As you are staying in huts you are not required to bring any sleeping equipment. Your backpack will include clothing for the trip, snacks, your lunch for the day, water, first aid kit, trekking poles, medication etc
ARE DIETARY REQUIREMENT CATERED FOR?
The huts try their best to cater meals for all dietary requirements. This is why its important to let us know of any dietary requirements at the time of booking. Some huts are in remote places, therefore access to ingredients may be challenging. For snacks, we suggest packing additional snacks, as vegan, gluten free etc snacks may be hard to come by in the huts.
