Among other things, tour guide Martin Depauli has a soft spot for the Italian Eastern Alps. In the summer of 2026, he was once again exploring the remote region between the Dolomites and the Slovenian border and has put together a collection of extraordinary routes. The series kicks off with the Dolomites and their great classics, such as the Dürrenstein and the Three Peaks, which are particularly appealing in late fall because there are no large crowds of tourists flooding through the Dolomites at this time of year. 

Depauli’s October lineup also includes several routes in his native Austria, particularly from the Kitzbühel and Tauern regions.
