Marked trails, mountain huts and UNESCO peaks between Val di Fassa, Val Gardena and the Brenta group.

About hiking in the Dolomites

Walking is the clearest way to experience the Dolomites. Trails leave from the valley floors and from cable car stations, so a group can reach high ground without a long climb and still spend the day among the peaks.

Our Dolomites hiking tours are based in one or two valleys at a time, with private transfers between trailheads, hotels inside the villages and an English-speaking mountain guide who adapts each route to the group and the weather. Days run four to six hours, between 10 and 16 km, and an easier alternative is always offered.

Summer and early autumn are the season for walking tours in the Dolomites: the huts are open, the passes are clear and the high trails from Val di Fassa, Val Gardena and the Brenta group are free of snow from late June to late September.

The three peaks of Tre Cime di Lavaredo

Tre Cime di Lavaredo

The three towers are the image most people have of the Dolomites, and the loop around them is a half-day walk on a wide path with mountain huts along the way. The trailhead is reached by road, so the height is gained before the walking starts.

Lago di Braies and the high trails

The lake sits at the entrance of the Fanes valley, with an easy lakeside circuit and longer routes climbing behind it. We start early, before the day visitors arrive, and continue onto the quieter trails above the water.

Dolomites Hiking Tours: frequently asked questions

Do I need hiking experience to join?
No technical experience is needed, but you should be comfortable on your feet for four to six hours. Trails are marked and the guide sets a pace the whole group can hold.
How difficult are the routes?
Moderate: 10 to 16 km a day with 400 to 800 m of ascent. Cable cars remove the longest climbs and an easier option is offered on the hardest days.
Where do we sleep, hotel or rifugio?
In valley hotels, with rifugi used for lunch stops on the trail. That keeps luggage in one place and gives a proper shower each evening.
When can you hike in the Dolomites?
From mid-June, once the high trails clear of snow, to late September. July and August are warmest, June and September quietest.
