The routes do not present technical difficulties (no via ferrata, no exposed trails, generally limited elevation gains) but require effort due to the length of the stages.
The “philosophy” of the Dolomites Trail explicitly refers to the famous Camino de Santiago de Compostela in Spain. The thirty stages of the Dolomites Trail connect the main places of faith in the province of Belluno, from the millennial Sanctuary of Saints Vittore and Corona in Feltre (start and end of the large loop of the Trail, a treasure trove of history and art) to the little churches in the high-altitude villages now almost abandoned, to the “chapels” along the roads, to the many wooden crucifixes that dot the pastures of the Dolomites, to the monumental church that commemorates the disaster of the Vajont in Longarone.
Along the Dolomites Trail, the traveler “listens” to the environment that surrounds them, in a natural landscape of exceptional beauty, and measures with the rhythm of their steps the truest dimension of living in the mountains. Far from the main communication arteries of the valley floor, frequented by “quick visit” tourism, those who choose the Dolomites Trail encounter people and their history, and find continuous opportunities to “reflect” and “rediscover themselves.”
