While not high on the difficulty scale, Alta Via 2 is strenuous, and best suited to trekkers with some alpine experience. Fittingly perfectly into a two-week time slot, the route is best undertaken between late June and late September. \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e The route is described across 12 stages (with a 4-stage extension option in place of Stages 6 and 7). Stages range from 5 to 18km, with stage ascent varying from 50m (Stage 8) to 1400m (Stage 9). Net ascent is 9630m. The route is described east to west so trekkers are rewarded with the beauty of Mont Blanc at the journey's end. \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cb\u003eGPX files\u003c\/b\u003e available to download \u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e Detailed information on \u003cb\u003etravel logistics\u003c\/b\u003e, the \u003cb\u003emountain hut network\u003c\/b\u003e, as well as \u003cb\u003ekit requirements\u003c\/b\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e Trek-specific \u003cb\u003eItalian-English glossary\u003c\/b\u003e included \u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e Information given on \u003cb\u003elocal alpine flora and wildlife\u003c\/b\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e Sized to easily \u003cb\u003efit in a jacket pocket\u003c\/b\u003e \u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\u003ch3\u003eAuthor Biography\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eGillian Price has trekked throughout Asia and the Himalayas, but now lives in Venice and is exploring the mountains and flatter bits of Italy.
