Hi Grant and Janna! Thanks for making this video and sharing information. My wife and I want to hike the AV1 in 2025. We’ve hiked the TMB and West Highland Way previously. I read in the comments that you booked each refugio yourselves! Is there luggage forwarding between refugios and how do you arrange it? Is it possible to hike the AV1 in the first week of June? Thanks so much! 😊
@grantandjanna
Ай бұрын
Hi @JJ-mf8ru ! We also did the west highland way and the TMB! We love them both! We did not do luggage transfer but we carried the basics with us. For the refuges, we contacted them either by email or by phone and just made the reservations ourselves several months in advance. All the refuges are open in June, but try to book your accommodations in advance.

@andycann7626 We were able to take them as carry-on from San Francisco to Toulouse, France; however, during our connecting flight in Toulouse, one of our backpacks got flagged and they made us to check-in the one set of poles that were in that backpack; the other backpack that did not get flagged, we were able to take them with our backpack as carry-on so it’s a bit inconsistent.

Hi @ricardoloureiro from Venezia, Piazzale Roma to Cortina d'Ampezzo, we took a ATVO bus ( that is the company ). Then, it leaves you at the same bus stop to get a second bus to go to dobbiaco (you can't buy tkts in advance for the second bus, it is just first come first serve) and then you take a third bus to lago do Braies.

I do get vertigo on cliffy areas . How would you rate Alta Via 1 for cliff exposure? We are also planning on 9 days . Linda

Hi Linda! We have done the TMB and the Haute Route too! Both of them were lot of fun. Alta Via 1 is more challenging than the TMB ( with more elevation ) and some exposed areas ( especially towards the end ). Unfortunately, AV1 doesn't really have alternative routes as the TMB does. We did find that the areas that were exposed, there are always cables (via ferrata) that can help you to get through. Enjoy!

Hi Guys. We have just watched your fabulous and very informative video of the alta via 1. We are looking to do this walk next year. It would be great if you could tell us how you managed to book all the rifugios please? Did you book each one on-line or with a tour company? Good luck with the new addition to the family. Many thanks Dave and Barbara

Hi Dave and Barbara! Thanks for watching and for the kind words. For us, we booked each rifugio separately to have the most flexibility, and to be able to choose exactly what we wanted. In the description, we listed some of the links to the rifugios for reference and we were able to book each one online. To stay organized, we found it helpful to create a spreadsheet for each day. Have fun!

No pins for the 4 of us at the Belluno Touristic center, even whit my basic italian, confronted with the casual and detached attitude, if I would dare say a cliché, typical of an Italian civil servant.
