Description

A guidebook to trekking Alta Via 2, a route of 148km, from Chardonney and Courmayeur in the Gran Paradiso National Park.

While not high on the difficulty scale, Alta Via 2 is strenuous, and best suited to trekkers with some alpine experience.

Fittingly perfectly into a two-week time slot, the route is best undertaken between late June and late September. The route is described across 12 stages (with a 4-stage extension option in place of Stages 6 and 7).

Stages range from 5 to 18km, with stage ascent varying from 50m (Stage 8) to 1400m (Stage 9).

Net ascent is 9630m. The route is described east to west so trekkers are rewarded with the beauty of Mont Blanc at the journey's end.
