The Delicious Trail Dolomiti features several itineraries. We recommend you to consider the moderate route - “One Step Beyond” - which starts in Alta Badia and reaches Cortina after 35 kilometres and a positive difference in altitude of 1,900 metres. This trail running event is one of a kind as it combines the magic of mountain running with delights for the palate. Set against the enchanting backdrop of the Dolomites, thousands of participants coming from twenty different countries challenge the world's most beautiful mountains, enjoying a refreshing break in the alpine huts located along the routes - each serving their very own culinary specialities.
What’s the hallmark of the Medium Delicious Trail - One Step Beyond?
All along the route, runners can sample special dishes, delicious indeed, which are prepared by the chefs of the participating restaurants and alpine huts. The specialities on offer, both well balanced and tailored to the needs of the athletes, are as energetic as bars or gels and do not weigh down.
What’s the difference between trail running and trekking?
In trail running you run and in trekking you walk, which means that the mechanics of the body and its interaction with the environment change.
Which one is the classic route that runs across the Fanes-Senes-Braies Nature Park?
It’s the trail called “Alta Via delle Dolomiti n°1”, which leads from the Lago di Braies lake to the city of Belluno along a breathtakingly beautiful 130-kilometre-long route. It takes approximately 10 to 13 days to complete the entire itinerary and includes sleeping in alpine huts and hiking according to the sequence of the Dolomites.
Which plants can be found between rock crevices?
Only particularly specialised plants succeed in rooting between rocks, such as the rock rampion, edelweiss, pink cinquefoil, Hausmann’s rock jasmine, evergreen sedge or the blue-leaved saxifrage.
Which are the most fundamental rules for running and walking along alpine trails?
First: respect local culture and traditions, keeping in mind that you are a guest of the people living in the mountains. Second: respect nature in all its forms, at all times. Third: carry your waste back to the valley and never dispose of it in nature. Fourth: don't ever light fires. Fifth: don't pick flowers. Sixth: don’t disturb wildlife and avoid making loud noises.
