Alta
Via 1 – 2023 Booking Update We are
successfully booking itineraries for the Alta Via 1. Although the accommodations
are filling up earlier than normal this year, we are still booking great
itineraries. Currently, we have the most availability in late July and August. Late
June, early July and September are best booked with a very flexible date range
and flexibility regarding accommodation type and some creative solutions (which
may involve using off-trail accommodations). Due to
the tight booking situation this year, we recommend you book as soon as you are
ready. We can
book the best itineraries for customers who provide us with a flexible date
range (the bigger the better). If private rooms are a priority for you, a
flexible date range of 2 to 4 weeks is best. If you are unable to provide such
a wide date range, we do have some alternate accommodations we can use that aren’t
located directly on the route, but still are not disruptive to your itinerary. Note:
Many books and blogs mention early September as a “less-crowded” time to visit
the Alta Via 1. However, for the past two years, the huts have been booked up
for September even before they were booked up for July or August. There is
currently more availability on the Alta Via 1 in July and August than there is
in September. Pushing later into September doesn’t bring any advantages,
because the huts at the beginning of the route stay full until mid-September
and the huts at the end of the route close around September 20th. We
currently recommend July and August for Alta Via 1 tours. We discourage June
bookings due to likely snow conditions on the route. We encourage
you to check out our Best
of the Dolomites Trek. It’s a fantastic alternative to the Alta Via 1 (in
some ways even better), and we have much more availability along this tour.
