Located in the eastern Trentino Dolomites, Val di Fiemme is known for its vast spruce forests, traditional alpine pastures, and close connection to mountain culture. The valley also borders the spectacular Pale di San Martino, one of the most iconic Dolomite mountain groups.

This hiking journey will begin in the mountain town of Predazzo and lead you through the varied alpine landscapes of forests, high meadows, and dramatic Dolomite peaks. Along the way, you will reach the summit of Cima Bocche and explore the beautiful landscapes of Paneveggio – Pale di San Martino Natural Park, where rugged ridgelines, open alpine terrain, and wide mountain views create a memorable hiking experience.

Unlike busier Dolomite routes, this tour reveals a quieter side of the mountains, where trails cross open pastures and traditional grazing areas above the valley. The landscapes of Val di Fiemme offer a rare balance of alpine scenery, cultural heritage, and peaceful trails.

The route begins with more demanding high-mountain terrain before gradually transitioning into gentler landscapes as the journey continues. Nights will be spent in traditional Dolomite rifugi, offering an authentic mountain atmosphere and warm hospitality.

We will take care of all practical arrangements, including carefully selected accommodation, a detailed route guidebook and GPS tracks, allowing you to focus entirely on the experience of hiking through the landscapes of 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.
