Point to point
Epic, multi-week crossing of the Alps. This Rouet is a serious alpine endeavor that requires extensive planning. The route begins in the hills of the Upper Palatinate before climbing into high alpine terrain to cross the main Alpine ridge. This is not an easy hike; it is a remote, challenging tour that includes technical "black mountain trails" (difficult) that are "roped" (secured with steel cables). Excellent physical condition, alpine experience and absolute surefootedness are required. The tour ends in the heart of the Dolomites at the world-famous Three Peaks.
