The Italian Dolomites are truly a hiker's paradise. Thousands of trails wind their way between the fantastic pinnacles of these jagged mountains, which magically turn from pale grey to gold and pink at dusk. We set our tour in the South Tyrol, unquestionably the finest hiking in the Italian Alps.
You’ll hike the best the Dolomites have to offer, including the majestic Sella massif, the Tofane and the striking, often-photographed pillars of Tre Cime di Lavaredo, arguably the most well known landmark in the Dolomites.

     Molto Bene!
    Great views, great places to stay, great food/drink and even great weather.....you were able to accommodate a 15 month old as well as the over 50 crowd.  Lots of logistics for you to manage and it was well done.  We'll have great, fun memories of your beautiful country and we'll be talking about this trip for a long time. Please use me as a positive reference for your company any time.
