I was untrained for this and we did not take any extra time to get accustomed to the height. I live around 0m height normally. I did not notice any difference in breathing or being extra drained because of it, maybe we kept our pace low enough?
The dolomites are not realy high enough for acclimatization to matters. Everything under 2500m is fine and going (from 0) to 3000m still only affects 40% of people. Unless you are climbing Marmolada (3300m) and are sleeping in huts that are generally below 2800m you should be fine. Of course some people are more affected than others but that is not the norm.
Damn, even Frodo lived life at 1m height
