 Good Basis for planning and preparing walks February 14, 2007
1 out of 1 found this review helpful
I used this book on 2 trips, I organised to the Dolomites.I would highly recommend it, good selection of walks, maybe some a bit on the short side, and lots of other information, such as details of where various buses go. Like any guidebook it is out of date as soon as published, and of course you need to buy a map for the area, but I going back to the Dolomites in July, and will take this book along, together with its companion, "walking in the Dolomites", (many of which can be done in a day).
 Review of Short Walks in the Dolomites by Gillian Price February 10, 2007
2 out of 2 found this review helpful
I'm not quite sure what book the other reviewer was using but I ended up giving this book away after a couple of days. It was fine for choosing which walk to tackle, but in terms of practical information on the trail it was worse than useless, with little in the way of trail description and maps that look like they were drawn by crayon. It also seemed rather badly out of date, with many of the phone numbers and even a couple of paths now obsolete. I ended up just buying a Tabacco map and copying down the phone numbers of hotels/refuges from a friend who had a different (and far superior) guide (it had a red cover but I don't know the name).
 I found this book invaluable. November 6, 2006

I have used this book for two walking trips to the Dolomites and found it invaluable. It contains a wide variety of day and half day walks with well written instructions and good maps and pictures, covering all of the range. I hope to go back next year and I'll be taking this book with me.
The book doesn't contain any via ferrata or multi-day walks - not an issue for me but if you want those you'll have to look elsewhere.
