A long-distance hike through history, after all, the Carnic Alta Via, also known as the Peace Trail, leads along the former front line of the First World War. From today's perspective, the border region between Austria and Italy stands out with its impressive panorama of the Dolomites. On top of this, 30 hiking peaks beckon, which we can take with us virtually "to-go".

This difficult long-distance circular tour requires alpine experience as well as surefootedness and a very good level of fitness for the sometimes very long stages.
