The Quiet Dolomites: Forgotten Routes Above Italy invites readers to explore the Dolomites beyond their well-trodden paths, through hidden trails, abandoned military passages, and remote ledges where silence dominates. Written in a first-person narrative, this book chronicles a journey through unmarked valleys, high ridges, and secluded basins, blending physical challenge with historical reflection. The author shares experiences of solitude, technical scrambles, and encounters with the echoes of shepherds, soldiers, and travelers who traversed these mountains centuries ago. Through careful observation, patience, and respect for the terrain, the book captures the subtle beauty of the Dolomites' hidden corners, where memory, landscape, and presence intersect. It is both a travel memoir and a meditation on the ways humans connect with wild places, offering insight into the physical, emotional, and historical dimensions of forgotten alpine routes. This work is perfect for adventurers, hikers seeking off-the-beaten-path experiences, history enthusiasts, and anyone who appreciates the transformative power of mountains and solitude.
