Hiking through the unique landscapes of the Italian Alps is an unforgettable experience for passionate hikers. The Alps are the most extended mountain range in Europe. The formation of the Alps was a discontinuous process that started in the Permian period and lasted through the Paleogene - 300 to 50 million years ago. From the western to eastern Italy, the natural scenery changes constantly: from meadows and alpine pasture to rocks, from sparkling waterfalls and crystal clear lakes to vast glacier, from snow-clad peaks to the red rocks of the Dolomites. The most renowned hiking destinations in the Italian Alps are the Dolomites, Graian and Pennine Alps, Rhaetian Alps and Lake Garda.
Declared a UNESCO World Heritage Site, the Dolomites are a unique geological architecture in the Italian Alps and the oldest mountains on the European continent. Formed with carbonate rocks they are famous for vertical walls and towers, beautiful colors and idyllic landscapes. At sunset and sunrise, the dolostone slowly turns from pink to purple thus creating unforgettable scenery. Hiking in the Italian Dolomite Alps is a very diverse experience as there are a dozen of mountain ranges quire different one from another - Pale di San Martino, Sella and Marmolada, Cinque Torri and Tre Cime di Lavaredo and many others. The Dolomites are the major destination in the Italian Alps for hikers and climbers who find well-maintained and marked trails in these mountains as well as huts every 3-4 hours of walk. The Dolomites are perfect for multiple day hiking tours which let hikers fully enjoy the beauty of the Dolomites.
The Graian and Pennine Alps on the border of Italy, France and Switzerland are home to most alpine four-thousanders. Mountaineering started here around 200 year ago. The conquest of Mont Blanc in 1786 is considered a symbolic mark of the birth of alpinism. Monte Bianco (4808m) or Mont Blanc is the highest peak of the Alps. Towering the central Graian Alps, Mont Blanc is the “king” of the Alps and a dream destination for avid mountaineers. Its nearest neighbor, Gran Paradiso (4061m) is the highest mountain entirely within the Italian borders while most alpine four-thousanders are shared between Italy and Switzerland or Italy and France. In the Graian Alps, the best known hiking itinerary is the Tour of Mont Blanc. It is a hiking adventure in three countries on a loop route around the highest summit of the Alps. It is an opportunity to explore different cultures, customs and cuisines. Retracing the history of the alpinism pioneers, Mont Blanc is visible from all angles throughout the hike. It is an unforgettable experience for both beginners and experienced hikers.
The Pennines are an extended mountain range in the western Alps and a majestic glacier complex. One half of the Alps’ 22 four-thousanders are in the Pennines. Most summits are visible from the trail of Alta Via No. 1 of Aosta, which runs from Monte Rosa (4634m) through Matterhorn to Mont Blanc. Good physical shape is required for hiking in the Pennine Alps, but the surrounding sublime landscapes are worth the effort. Hiking in this part of the Italian Alps takes you off the beaten track on little walked trails where wildlife is the main protagonist. Solitude here means enjoying the immense landscapes surrounded by snow-capped four-thousanders.
Hiking in the Rhaetian Alps means a journey across the regions of Ortler, Stelvio and Adamello. Land of lakes and glaciers, this area is home to the Italy’s largest natural reserve - Stelvio National Park. The Ortler group is quiet and peaceful. It is one of the best destinations for self-guided hiker in the Italian Alps. The silence of nature is broken only by the footsteps of hikers walking on the remote trails. Snow capped peaks reaching almost 4000 meters overlook the untouched nature and safeguard the wildlife of the park. At distance, you can hear the whistles of some marmots signaling the presence of a rare hiker. Chamois, marmots, roes, rhododendrons, lakes and glaciers characterize this unspoilt solitary area.
Last but not least, Lake Garda is a must-do destination for hiking in the Italian Alps. Trekking in the mountains of the northern Garda is a contrasting and thrilling experience. On top of Monte Baldo (2218m), the view spans 360 degrees catching the Dolomites, glaciers of Adamello and the 160 km distant Apennines. The northern Garda mountains feature all types of vegetation typical to the Alps and mediterranean. Northern Garda is totally surrounded by the mountains offering overwhelming views and exciting hiking opportunities across severa climate zones. Hiking in the Garda mountains can be quite challenging and tyring, thus a couple of rest days on the lake are a great reward we always recommend.
The Italian Alps offer many emotional experiences. This is where a single mountain range can accommodate several totally different landscape types. From the glaciers of Stelvio to the four-thousanders of the western Alps, from the dolostone towers of the Dolomites to the mediterranean vegetation on Lake Garda. At MONT Trekking, we think hiking in the Italian Alps is a life lasting memory.
