By train

International lines serve the stations south of the Brenner Pass, as well as Verona to Venice. Eurail passes make train travel an attractive option for under-26-year-olds.

Useful branch lines via Belluno and Vittorio Veneto reach Calalzo, while for the Val Pusteria change at Fortezza, north of Bressanone. See www.trenitalia.com for information and online booking.

By car

Via Europe’s extensive motorway system, the best entry to Italy is by the Brenner Pass from Austria on the A22 autostrada. This leads directly to the northwestern Dolomites, with handy exits from Bressanone southwards. Otherwise, leave the A4 Torino–Trieste via a link near Verona for the A22 northwards. From Mestre, outside Venice, the quiet A27 runs up via Vittorio Veneto, with good roads continuing for Belluno and towards Cortina for the eastern Dolomites.

Well-maintained national roads, labelled SS for Strada statale or SP for Strada provinciale, run through the Dolomites and are referred to in this guidebook, where relevant, in the information box access section at the start of the walks.
