Is this trip right for you?
The Dolomites sees pleasantly warm weather, with hot summer days and rain and thunderstorms on occasion. It can get cool in the evening throughout the year so bring warm clothes. Good walking clothing including waterproof wet weather gear and appropriate footwear are a must.
You’ll walk up to 14 km per day, with a maximum elevation gain of 800 m. You may wish to bring walking poles with you.
On Day 7, you’ll take a cable car ride from Versciacio to the start of your walk. The views are stunning, but if you suffer from vertigo, you may feel slightly uncomfortable.

Really great trip. The physical rating should be higher than 3/5, as there were several very steep climbs. I’m older and not very fit, but most days there were options to take an easier route. Enrico, our guide was just fantastic I really loved this trip, and I’m so glad I did it.

Hiking in the Dolomites had always been a dream of mine, but I wasn’t confident I could plan and navigate the trip on my own. Intrepid Travel made it all possible. From breathtaking hiking trails and delicious local cuisine to meaningful insights into the region’s culture and environment, every part of the experience was thoughtfully curated. I’d definitely recommend this trip to anyone looking for adventure.

This trip was excellent! Especially because I knew I wanted to hike the Dolomites but was unsure how to get to each hike since they seemed far apart, so this group tour was great as it was all organised and hit the top hiking trails! The tracks were not too hard and the pacing with the tour guide V was great. It was my first intrepid trip and I will definitely be doing more in the future.
