Description
The second volume is dedicated to the eastern valleys, and describes 116 ascents picked from 24 mountain groups to the east of the Adige valley: Breonie di Levante, Aurine Alps, Monti di Predoi, Monti di Fundres, Vedrette di Ries, Monti di Casies, Odle-Puez Group, Fanes-Senes-Braies Group, Sesto Dolomites, Catinaccio Group, Sella and Sassolungo Group, Latemar Group, Marmolada Group, Cima Bocche Chain, Lagorai Chain, Cima d?Asta Group, Pale di San Martino, Feltrine Alps, Schiara Group, Cima Dodici Chain, Piccole Dolomiti, Grappa Massif, Col Nudo-Cavallo Group, Lessini Mountains. All the itineraries described have been selected for their beautiful views and for their difficulty. Few itineraries offer mountaineering difficulties higher than II grade, but not all the ascents are just hikes: some require a good knowledge of progressing on glaciers, the use of a ferrata set as well as being able to scramble on rocks. Finally, there are opportunities for almost all seasons: in both volumes we find itineraries which run along the Alpine Arc with high altitude and ice, to be tackled during summer time, as well as itineraries which lie in mountain groups closer to the Po Valley, therefore possible to visit late autumn or even during dry winters.
