Considered by well healed adventurers and travellers as "the most beautiful mountain range on the planet", the Dolomites offers spectacular rugged mountain trails, lush valleys of vast forests and at the right time of year, seas of beautiful wildflowers. Mountain refugios provide wonderful meals and shelter in this wild and outrageously gorgeous landscape.
The Dolomites is situated in the Sud Tyrol (or Alto Adige in Italian), which is the north east section of Italy. The use of 2 names (Sud Tyrol and Alto Adige) harps back to a complex history where the region was once part of the Habsburg Empire and essentially Austrian and then transferred into Italian hands in the mid 19th Century. As such, both German and Italian are spoken and the area is a curious mix of Swiss, German and Italian (in our opinion the best of both).
The Dolomites is compact enough to form a base (our very well appointed hotel) and then explore the area on day treks, returning each night for a hearty meal.
Days will be spent exploring the region by foot on trails that will take us deep into the mountains, over passes and down the other side. We will also have a chance to try our hand at via ferrata, mountain biking or exploring ancient towns surrounded by spectacular mountain peaks. Some may even choose to spend the night in a Refugio on an extended 2 day hike. Others may stay back at the hotel and use their extensive spa facilities. It is completely up to you how active you wish to be.
Don't be like Amelia Edwards and wait 15 years before you visit the Dolomites. Come with us on this wonderful adventure into one of the planets most beautiful landscapes.
Plan dzień po dniu
"The Dolomites! It was a full fifteen years since I had first seen sketches by a great artist not long since passed away, and their strange outlines and still stranger colouring had haunted me ever since. I thought of them as every summer came around; I regretted them every Autumn; I cherished dim hopes about them every Spring." Amelia Anne Blanford Edwards from Untrodden Peaks and Unfrequented Valleys: A Midsummer Ramble in the Dolomites 1873.</p><p>"A Traveller who has visited all the other mountain-regionsof Europe, and remains ignorant of the scenery of the Dolomite Alps, has yet to make acquaintance with Nature in one of her loveliest and most fascinating aspects". John Ball Guide to the Eastern Alps (1868)
