Alta Via 2 gear and packing list — what hut-to-hut in the Dolomites actually requires
The AV2 packing problem is not 'what might I need' — it is 'what can I carry up a vertical cable section 14 days in a row.' Via ferrata set mandatory on the standard route, sleeping bag liner mandatory in every hut, tent and sleeping bag actively unwelcome.
