Our Alps & Dolomites Hiking Tours

Hiking Dolomites, between Earth and Sky

Everyone loves the Dolomites. This UNESCO World Heritage site is among the most iconic and treasured landscapes our country has to offer – at once striking and soothing, powerful and peaceful, our own Rocky Mountains crown the top of Italy and the bucket list of any mountain lover. Hiking in the Dolomites is one of the most stunning experiences one can enjoy in Italy. 


Alps will be your playground as you'll move your first steps on the Italian section of Via Francigena at the St.Bernard Pass, in Aosta Valley; if you're looking for the adventure of a lifetime hiking the Alps, we suggest the Tour du Mont Blanc, an epic trek between Italy, France and Switzerland.

Dolomites of Val Badia


The Softer Dolomites

The Val Badia will astonish you with its breath-taking landscapes on this quintessential Dolomites walking holiday. It's a beautiful area, characterised by a well-assorted mix of Italian, German and Ladin cultures - with a scenery slightly less dramatic than other areas of the Dolomites, greener, softer, which some find more welcoming, soothing, serene.

Frequently Asked Questions

Are Dolomites difficult to explore?

To climb the classic hut to hut hikes in the Dolomites, a good fitness level and descrete hiking abilities and stability (due to the occasionally irregular terrain) are required.

Generally speaking, the Dolomites offer a glorious landscape of rugged peaks, green open fields and snowy peaks; some sceneries may be wilder than others, depending on the kind of trip you decide to walk.
