I am so admiring the girl in the video. She looks delicate and tender. I can also tell she might have bad fear of hight like me. But she went through all obstacles. No man should take for granted of the girl like her who can accomplish this route with you. She is great! Anyway, it is a good record and helpful reference for AV4!
Really enjoyed the silent hiking impressions! I feel like you showed the trail experience from a very real perspective...helps me to decide between this and the Alta Via 2. Great Shots!

Thanks for the feedback, glad you enjoyed the video! We decided on AV4 mainly because of the overall length of the hike - AV2 is much longer (10-14 days), and since it was our first time in the Dolomites we wanted to also visit other regions for day-hikes and chill. Gathering what I found out about both Alta Vias, AV2 is also a must do, but it's a longer commitment and in some places are also much more crowded. In comparison AV4 might seem more challenging (with Via Ferratas up to difficulty C), it's a mostly less crowded experience - except the obvious highlights like Tre Cime and Misurina, there were days when we met about 2 or 3 people on the trail. I also cannot recommend this blog enough - about 70% of the necessary knowledge of the trail, where to stay and what to expect we got from there. inafarawayland.com/alta-via-four-guide/ Good luck with your hike!
Beautiful videos. We are new at via ferratas and heading to the Dolomites for a month in September. Would love to hear your favorite easy to intermedicate ferratas (as well as hikes). For most of our hiking, we are staying a week in Dobbiaco. Grazie :)

Hey! Thanks! Happy you enjoyed the video! :) Since this was our only trip in the Dolomites yet, my experience is limited, but I would definitely recommend Ferrata Innerkofler - the one we did on our day 1 and which leads to the summit of Monte Paterno. It's graded difficulty is A/B, and generally speaking the cable sections are pretty straightforward, so that would be a good entry level ferrata if you have a good head for heights. If you are staying for a month, I really recommend doing one of the Alta Via's - the multi-day hut-to-hut treks. AV4 features one C level ferrata, Ferrata Vandelli, which is quite exposed + combined with the length of the route going to Rif. San Marco felt exhausting for us on our day 4. Otherwise it's a great trek. Alternatively, you could go for AV2 or a part of it - that's what we plan to do next time. For other recommendations I really recommend the blog I mentioned in the description - inafarawayland.com. I planned this hike 70% based on the info found there, and Marta usually responds to any questions very quickly and thoroughly. Good luck with your travels and enjoy the Dolomites! :)
Paldies Rihard ! Šobrīd skatos uz šo maršrutu arī, pēc bakalaura darba aizstāvēšanas, vai man tur ir iespējams gulēt teltī šajā maršrutā?

Alta Via 4 maršruts šķērso vairākus dabas parkus - cik man zināms, dabas parkos teltī var nakšņot tikai kempingos, un par noteikumu pārkāpšanu ir diezgan jaudīgs naudas sods. To, protams, būtu jāpārbauda, jo maršrutā ir arī vietas, kas nav dabas parku teritorijā. Mums katrā gadījumā ļoti patika variants ar nakšņošanu kalnu namos - izšķirošais faktors bija svars. Ja nav jānes līdzi telts + ēdiens + gatavošanai nepieciešamais, jutāmies drošāk iet via ferratas. Jāatzīst, ka līdz šim VF pieredze bija ļoti minimāla, līdz ar to noteikti novērtejām izvēli par labu vieglākām somām (lai gan ar uzpildītiem ūdeņiem mana soma tāpat svēra ap 12 kg). Pie tam, kalnu namos ir "half-board" opcija, kas iekļauj naktsmājas, vakariņas un brokastis. Izmaksu ziņā uz cilvēku tie ir apmēram 50 -60 EUR par nakti, kas mums šķita finansiāli ļoti adekvāts cipars. Kad veicu maršruta izpēti, skatījos vairāku citu cilvēku video - tepat ir viens video kanalā Thorclan Trek, un viņš atsevišķās vietās šajā maršrutā nakšņoja teltī un arī bivakā. Varbūt tas palīdz pieņemt lēmumus. Katrā gadījumā, vēlu lai izdodas skaists un drošs piedzīvojums! :)

VERY HELPFULL
