Get the Recording + Companion Guide
Have you ever wondered what it would really be like to trek the Alta Via 1 through the Dolomites?
Can your knees handle the steep descents? What are the mountain huts actually like for solo female travelers? How do you train for an alpine crossing?
The Alta Via 1 is a spectacular journey but beautiful photographs don’t tell you how it feels to climb for hours, manage the long descents, stay in mountain rifugios or keep pace with a guided group.
In this free recording of our live webinar, Monika Becker takes you along on her seven-day trek and shares a first-hand look at what the experience involved.
What You’ll Get:
** A visual Overview of the Trail: A photo journey showcasing the real terrain, exposure levels, and incredible scenery of the Alta Via 1 so you can visualize the route.
** The Reality of Mountain Huts: An inside look at the refugio experience – including room layouts, food, and what to expect regarding comfort and logistics.
** How Monika Trained and Prepared: Learn how she prepared for six to seven hour days on the trail—and which parts of the trek still proved more demanding than expected.
** The Challenges Along the Way: Hear how Monika handled the demanding climbs and descents, changing weather and hiking with younger, faster group members.
** What She Would Do Differently: Discover what the experience taught Monika and how she would approach the Alta Via 1 if she returned.
** A 19-Page Companion Guide: Receive Monika’s day-by-day route, elevation details, packing list, preparation questions and key takeaways from the webinar.

About your guide:
Monika Becker has been a nature and mountain lover since her childhood. Starting with family walks on the weekends in her home country, Germany, she continued to develop her love for mountains and was an avid rock climber in her 30s.
Eventually, she realized two long-held dreams by completing a trek to Kala Patthar, Nepal (5,545 m) in 2017 and the Alta Via 1 in the Dolomites (approx 3,000 m) in Italy in 2024.
As Monika says, she still has many more forests to explore and mountains to climb. 😊
