The author took seven years to compile this guidebook as tribute to the National Park of Dolomiti Bellunesi, his “home away from home”. There, you could find a true and unique wilderness, featuring routes and hard treks, for the satisfaction of those who love exploration and adventure, roaming faint trails, home of the chamois, marked by sparse cairns. This guidebook is the outcome of an endless exploration and reconnaissance trips on the normal routes leading to the summits of the mountains of the Park – and the nearby peaks. The overall climbing grade might not seem so hard, yet the height gain is often in the range of thousands metres, and the approach routes are usually demanding. This guidebook aims at promoting the extraordinary wilderness of the Park. Adventure – with a capital “A” – is to be found here!
