Six days walking the Alta Via 1 in northern Italy in late August and early September of 2026. 76 amazing miles with over 25,000 feet of elevation gain (22,000 ft elevation loss). Two nights in refugios, three nights bivouacking and many amazing refugio meals. Note that the video is 35 minutes long.
