With that said, it&#8217;s not a walk in the park! The total elevation gain on this route (not including the extensions) is 7200&nbsp;meters. That&#8217;s more than 23.5&nbsp;thousand feet. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Alta Via 1 can be completed in 7-12 days, but 10 is the optimal time to enjoy the landscapes properly. It starts at the famous Lago di Braies and ends near Belluno, both well connected with public transport.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>I hiked&nbsp;Alta Via 1 with my dad at the start of the summer season of 2019, and because of it, it will always have a special place in my heart.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>I sometimes take my job for granted<span style=\"box-sizing: border-box; margin: 0px; padding: 0px;\">, and seeing my dad in awe of the views with every step he took reminded me of how lucky I am!

This was by far the most exciting traverse I have done. With eight via ferratas spread across five days, there was enough&nbsp;adrenaline to keep us going.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>And the views!

The Monte Popera circuit is one of many&nbsp;hut-to-hut treks I completed in the Dolomites,&nbsp;and I must say it was also one of the toughest.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>With that said, if you come prepared, have done some via ferratas before, and have enough stamina to be on the move for 8-9 hours daily, then you will love this circuit.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The <a href=\"https:\/\/inafarawayland.com\/monte-popera-circuit-in-sextener-dolomites\/\" data-type=\"post\" data-id=\"22662\">Monte Popera Circuit<\/a> tackles six via ferratas, from beginner to advanced level, across four days.

If you plan to do any of these trips during spring break, I can tell you now that the only thing you can prepare for is a ski trip. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The official hiking season lasts from&nbsp;the third week of&nbsp;June until the end of September, when the mountain huts&nbsp;stay&nbsp;open.
