Experience the Alta Via 1 like never before — in silence. 🎥
For 8 days I hiked 120 km through the Dolomites, from the turquoise waters of Lago di Braies to the wild valleys near Belluno. This isn’t a vlog or a guide — it’s a chance to walk the trail with me. No talking, no narration. Just footsteps, mountain winds, cowbells, and the stunning landscapes of northern Italy.
Whether you’re planning your own Alta Via 1 trek, looking for hiking inspiration, or just want a meditative escape into the mountains, this video is your window into the beauty and challenge of one of Europe’s most iconic long-distance trails.
🌄 Highlights include:
The mirror-like Lago di Braies at sunrise
High alpine plateaus and dramatic rock faces
Iconic rifugios tucked into mountain passes
Remote trails where silence speaks louder than words
Long climbs, steep descents, and endless panoramas
Take a deep breath, lace up your boots, and join me on this unforgettable walk across the Dolomites.

📸 Equipment
(*Note that I value lightweight, compact and budget friendly options because of the type of travels I normally do)
🎥 iPhone 15 Pro Max - amzn.to/3SKEOPR
I have moved over to the iPhone for most of the ground footage - it actually takes amazing videos and my phone is always close by.
🚁 DJI Mini 4 Pro - amzn.to/3W8MVI5
I absolutely love this drone - it’s small, compact and provides amazing footage.
📷 GoPro - amzn.to/3W88ok9
I still use the GoPro for the ‘on the go’ shots. It has great stablization, battery life and video quality.
