Dolomites
ITALY
Tuscany & Cinque Terre
In the heart of the Northern Italian Dolomites, close to the border with Austria and dominated by the famous Tre Cime (Three Peaks), is the beautiful Tyrolean village of Dobbiaco. A week’s walking from here allows you to discover the beauty and sheer magnificence of the majestic Alta Pusteria Valley, an area renowned for its 3000m jagged peaks and recognized by UNESCO as one of the most unique and spectacular mountain environments in the world. With over 1000kms of trails, the Italian Dolomites are a Mecca for high-level walkers and you really are spoiled for choice, however, our suggested routes and itineraries should help! Highlights include a high ridge path along the Austrian border with 360o views over the Italian Dolomites and Austrian Alps, and a circular hike around the world-famous Tre Cime – three immense obelisks of sheer rock that have now become the symbol of the region. Many walks here are across high plateaux and pastures, and forest trails built by soldiers during World War I. Amazingly, all of this is accessible on well-defined paths either directly from the hotel, or via a short bus transfer or cable car ride
HIGHLIGHTS OF THIS HOLIDAY :
Breathtaking natural landscapes: jagged limestone peaks, shimmering turquoise lakes, emerald-green slopes
excellent bird-spotting; stunning flowers; unrivaled Alpine views
Beautiful 4-star family-run hotel: spa with pool, saunas and steam room, deluxe rooms
World-famous Tre Cime – symbol of the Dolomites and a UNESCO World Heritage Site
NOTE FOR WALKERS:
The walking is along superbly varied and well-signed footpaths, both at high altitudes and in the lower valleys. There are moderate ascents on most days, and longish descents on days when a cable car is used to gain altitude. Walkers should have a good fitness level and be confident on uneven terrain.
DEPOSIT:
To reserve your space, a $400 deposit per person is required. Final payment is due 60 days prior to the trip departure date. If applying within 60 days of the trip departure, full payment is required.

Trip Details
The Dolomites form a mountain range like no other in the Alps, with razor-sharp peaks of white, pink, and gray rock. Fir forests, lush meadows, and crystal lakes create a setting from which pinnacles soar over 10,000 ft. We explore the rich culture: picturesque villages, historic castles, superb wines and exquisite cuisine. We explore Dolomite Bellunesi National Park, then move on to Cortina, the “jewel” of the Dolomites, where we hike on the Tofane Massif and the Three Peaks of Lavaredo. Along with relaxing strolls in the Val Gardena and walks in the Pale di San Martino National Park, we spend time shopping, promenading in the piazzas and enjoying incomparable Italian food. If serenity is what you seek, find it in the Dolomites.
