Hiking in the Dolomites

Start & end in Venice 8 days Up to 12

About this trip

Eight days based in the alpine town of Dobbiaco, walking out into the Dolomites each day rather than packing up and moving on. The pace is easy to moderate, with a local leader guiding you through UNESCO World Heritage-listed valleys and peaks.

Days are spent on the trail and evenings in village inns, with hearty mountain food to refuel on — apple strudel included.

This suits you if you want an active week without constantly changing beds, and don't mind some long walking days in variable mountain weather.

What you'll do

  • Base yourself in the alpine town of Dobbiaco for the week
  • Hike through UNESCO World Heritage-listed Dolomites landscapes
  • Walk up to 14 km a day with a maximum elevation gain of 800 m
  • Take a cable car from Versciacio up to the start of a trail on Day 7
  • Refuel with hearty mountain food, including apple strudel, in village inns
Good to know
  • Walking days can reach 14 km with up to 800 m of ascent — bring poles if you use them
  • Weather swings from hot summer days to sudden rain and thunderstorms, with cool evenings, so pack proper waterproofs and warm layers
  • The Day 7 cable car ride offers big views but may unsettle you if you're prone to vertigo
