fantastic experience, the hikes were strenuous at times but really doable! We had fantastic weather, although some rain for 2 days. Definitely bring a good waterproof jacket and pack cover! Dobbiacio was a great base to stay in for the week. Would definitely recommend!

Excellent trip, highly recommend. Tour leader V went over & above to ensure the group got the most out of each location & experience.
Mix of picture perfect alpine days and more dramatic weather.
Challenging hikes, poles very useful. Pack for cold & wet just in case, mountain weather highly variable!
Really fun group, stunning scenery, solid exercise, great food & drink, excellent tour… 5 stars!

An unplanned decision to hike in the Dolomites turned into one of the great hiking trips of my life. Stunning scenery,a great itinerary as well as a wonderful group made for the adventure. Our Tour Leader (Vincenzo) made it all happen. A not-to-be-missed hiking adventure!

This is an incredible tour to get a taste of what hiking in the Dolomites is - I can’t wait to be back and explore the rest of the region. Vincenzo was an A-M-A-Z-I-N-G your leader. There is a healthy mixture of hikes to ensure you get a taste of the different landscapes in the region - no walk is the same! Some hikes are more challenging than others, but all are really rewarding. I really liked how some days combined shorter walks with extra activities to get to know the other sides of the region - such as an afternoon in snazzy Cortina or an evening visit to a cheese factory followed by a cheese tasting!
