Less demanding than the other walking tours in the Dolomites, these holidays extensively explore the verdant green alpine meadows and picturesque villages of the Alpe di Siusi region. Moving to a new location every few days, you can try the experience of inn-to-inn hiking in the Dolomites.

The Alpe di Siusi plateau often gets unjustly overlooked when people visit the Dolomites. Everyone who has been there, though, would return without thinking twice. Be it the lush pastures of the Seiser Alm plateau, the authentic wooden chalets, or the local food, everything works perfectly together to compose a harmonious atmosphere that makes your lips curl up in a smile without any other specific reason.

Although each day includes a new hike, they are relatively undemanding and do not include much elevation gain, making these holidays appropriate for everyone. Mainly walking across the plateau of green meadows dotted with shepherd’s cottages and forests, the stunning views seldom leave your sight.

We will ensure that your accommodations in Kastelruth, Compatsch, and Saltria are booked and ready for you upon arrival. And the GPS tracks and digital guidebook with a day-by-day itinerary we send to you will help you navigate the local trails!

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.
