About Dolomites Self-Guided Hiking Tours

The Dolomites are an alpine mountain range and cover an area of 16,000 square kilometers in northeastern Italy. Its alpine valleys, slopes, and mountain pastures are dotted with marked trails, with their sum total being somewhere around 1200 km, thus making this mountain range the ideal destination for walking holidays — for experienced hikers and leisure travelers alike.

We name every colossal rock sculpture that aims for the sky a mountain, yet each has its unique identity. And the Dolomites are living proof of it. The distinctive limestone towers and steep rock faces are symbolic of the landscape, attracting many tourists to set their eyes upon them at least once in their lifetime.

The lands below these mountain peaks are even more diverse and just as scenic. Lush meadows, alpine lakes, and glacial valleys that wind between the mountains offer a welcome respite from the urbanized society. There are no large cities in the Dolomites, only charming towns and villages that preserved their tradition, making a visit to these locations an incredibly authentic experience.

There are numerous shepherd cottages along hiking trails, and, in accordance with tradition, dairy farms are not a rare occurrence either. Truly a paradise for every outdoor enthusiast who enjoys the little things.

Frequently Asked Questions

Although hiking in light rain is manageable as long as proper attire is worn, it is crucial to note that hiking during a storm can be extremely dangerous. It is recommended to schedule hikes early in the day during the summer months to avoid thunderstorms. However, if the forecast predicts severe weather, it is best to reschedule, or we can advise you on a different tour option.

It depends on the tour, as some routes run well above 2000 or even 2500 meters of elevation. Therefore, they are impassable in snowy conditions, limiting the visiting season to the summer and early autumn days between late June and early October.

However, some of our holidays keep to lower elevations, so hiking in early spring or late autumn is still possible. You can read more extensively about it on our subpage about the Dolomites.

All the accommodations offer vegetarian and vegan options for breakfast. You also will not have any trouble finding such menus at restaurants. When you eat at mountain huts, though, they might not serve vegan meals. In such cases, it is best to bring your own food.

Our hiking holidays are suitable for children as long as they are prepared physically and sure-footed. To ensure the safety and enjoyment of young participants, we recommend that they be at least eight years old to join the tours.

While our tours are designed to suit a wide range of people, some days can include long distances with substantial elevation gain. We try to keep this to a minimum while preserving the overall quality of your experience, but you should be used to walking for 4-6 hours while overcoming around 600 meters of elevation.

We also try to route our walks in the vicinity of cable cars and chairlifts to shorten your climbs or help you descend in case of fatigue.

Shoes are an essential piece of equipment when walking in the Dolomites. We suggest you wear sturdy hiking shoes with ankle support for all our tours, as the ground in the Dolomites is uneven, sometimes rocky, and slippery. Therefore, you risk a severe injury if you wear sneakers, especially if you are not used to hiking on such terrain.

The car might offer you slightly more flexibility and freedom, but it is not necessary to come by car, as public transport is well-organized in the Dolomites and the entire Alps. Even traveling across different countries is very convenient. Be it by bus or train — you can reach virtually any destination in the Dolomites using public transport.

Additionally, you will promote sustainable tourism by reducing your carbon footprint, and we are all for keeping the environment of the Dolomites as untouched as possible.

Keep in mind that the Dolomites are one of the most popular tourist destinations all year round, and all accommodations are subject to availability. Therefore, early booking is crucial to ensure the housing you desire, but we will always do our best to get you the optimal lodging based on your preferences.
