These walks are perfect for travelers who enjoy the mountains and are looking for a rewarding challenge rather than extreme difficulty. Daily distances are moderate, but the changing elevation means you’ll often be walking uphill or downhill, with plenty of time to pause, breathe in the views, and move at your own pace along the Val di Fassa hiking trails.

You’ll follow a mix of gravel roads, forest tracks, and well-marked alpine trails — the kind that wind through meadows, past ridges, and into valleys where every turn offers a new panorama. The routes are designed for hikers with a good level of fitness and a love for long days outdoors, making this an ideal Val di Fassa hiking experience for those who want to connect with nature without the pressure of performance.

Along the way, you’ll find optional detours that lead to local peaks or higher viewpoints. These sections are more demanding, suitable for experienced walkers — but always rewarding for those who want to reach a little further.

With your luggage transferred and comfortable accommodation waiting for you in the evening, you can simply focus on the rhythm of your walk, the silence of the high trails, and the joy of exploring one of the most breathtaking landscapes in Europe.

For our trips, we always choose accommodation with private rooms and private bathrooms. In rare cases, shared accommodations or shared bathrooms may be provided, so we recommend carefully checking the inclusions section to understand the type of accommodation included in the trip you are interested in.  

We place great importance on the choice of accommodations and select hotels with care and attention. We understand how essential it is to rest well after a day of walking. We always prefer cozy and characteristic establishments, preferably family-run, that fully embody the spirit of the place and offer hospitality with courtesy and comfort.  

Where, due to the nature of the route, accommodation options are limited, we choose the one that best aligns with our standards.
