Allowing you to experience the Dolomites in all their grandeur, these ultimate walking holidays include daily hikes to top locations in the Dolomites, including Tre Cime and Monte Elmo, and premium accommodations in the charming village of Dobbiaco.

Dotted with mountain trails, the Dolomites area is hardly explorable within a week, but our itinerary comes as close as possible to visiting all the most notable surrounding locations. And the valley of Alta Pusteria is home to many of those – Lago di Braies and Klammbachalm pastures are just two drops in the ocean.

Although the hikes are not technically challenging, you will still cover several kilometers daily. But certain portions of the trails, particularly the climbs, can be avoided by taking cable cars or chairlifts. They also serve as convenient escape routes in case of fatigue.

While hiking, you will visit authentic alpine rifugios, where you can sit down for a hearty meal of local dishes, thus getting a deeper insight into the region's culture. Do not miss out on homemade cheese and salami!

With accommodations and logistics taken care of, you will have nothing left to do but give yourself over to the charm of the Dolomites. You will not have to worry about navigating the trails either, as we will equip you with GPS tracks and a digital guidebook with a detailed day-by-day itinerary.

To ensure the best high-end accommodations, we recommend submitting your inquiry form or booking the drip as soon as possible, so dive right in and get ready for an amazing trip to the Dolomites!

Frequently Asked Questions

Our tours are designed to cater to a broad range of people, but some days can be quite challenging, with long distances and significant elevation gain. We aim to minimize this as much as possible while ensuring a high-quality experience. To fully enjoy our tours, you should be accustomed to walking for 4-6 hours, overcoming around 600 meters of elevation gain.

However, Alta Via 1 hut-to-hut hikes and Tour du Mont Blanc are more demanding and require a higher fitness level. On these tours, you may need to hike up to 8 hours per day and tackle substantial elevation gain.

Yes, our hiking holidays are appropriate for children who are physically prepared and have a good balance. However, to guarantee the safety and enjoyment of our young participants, we suggest that they should be at least eight years old to join our tours.

Proper footwear is crucial for our walking tours. We recommend wearing sturdy hiking shoes with ankle support for all our hikes. The terrain can be uneven, rocky, and slippery. Wearing sneakers can be dangerous, especially if you are not accustomed to hiking on such surfaces, as they do not offer enough protection and support. Robust shoes also provide the necessary support when your legs get tired during long hikes.

Yes, we highly recommend booking in advance to secure your spot. The earlier you book, the better the chances are of getting your preferred options. If you book close to the start of the season or during the season, we may not be able to guarantee availability in the hotels and apartments. Therefore, it is best to make reservations as soon as possible to avoid any inconvenience.

It is essential to note that accommodations at the destinations of our walking tours are in high demand during the summer season. Therefore, early booking is crucial to secure your preferred type of housing. However, we assure you that we will always try our best to provide you with the most suitable lodging based on your preferences. Rest assured that we will do everything possible to ensure that your stay is comfortable and enjoyable.

Our tours are well-organized, and all the destinations are easily accessible and straightforward to navigate. Therefore, it is unlikely that you will require a guide. Our comprehensive handout will provide you with all the essential information while still allowing you the freedom of a self-guided holiday.

However, if you prefer to have a guide, please let us know, and we will make the necessary arrangements for you.

Most of the accommodations we provide offer vegetarian and vegan options for breakfast. Additionally, you will find no shortage of vegetarian and vegan menus in restaurants during the tour. However, it is worth noting that some mountain huts on Alta Via 1 or Tour du Mont Blanc may not offer vegan meals. In such situations, it is advisable to bring your own food to ensure that your dietary needs are met.

The best time to go on a walking holiday in Italy varies depending on the location you plan to visit. Destinations such as the Amalfi Coast, Cinque Terre, and Sicily are best visited during early spring and fall when the weather is pleasant, and the crowds are fewer.

However, in areas like the Dolomites or around Mont Blanc, hiking is not possible when there is snow high up in the mountains. Therefore, the hiking season in these areas is limited from late June to late September. It is advisable to plan your trip accordingly to get the best out of your walking holiday in Italy.

We can best advise you after receiving a filled-out inquiry form.
