Hiking and Climbing in the Dolomites

Walking through the breath-taking scenery of the Dolomites has been a unique experience for many guests that, since their first experience, keep coming back to our peaks in order to recharge their batteries.

The hikes we recommend vary from the easy and gentle stroll to the more physically demanding excursion up into the high surmounts.

A huge network of more than 400 km of well marked and maintained, safe trails, many reachable by lifts, creates a unique opportunity for everyone to enjoy the Dolomites at close range.

Although some of the peaks reach a considerable height, their soft and approachable shape allows nearly everyone in a healthy shape to see the scenery from the top of the world.

A sensational setting captivates the attention of the spectator: towers of white rock turning pink at sunset, green, lush forests and crystal clear mountain lakes.

Depending on the season, you will find a very different landscape: The springtime will enchant you with an amazing variety of blooming wildflowers, all the paths will be surrounded by colourful pastureland.

And as the days grow warmer, the scent in the air will whisper that the summer has arrived with it's emerald coloured meadows.

Fall will surprise you with crisp air in the mornings, warm days and fantastic long-distance views to far away peaks. It is the season that brings a splash of colour to all surrounding forests.

During this time you are bound to find many trees turning brilliant golden. And as the days pass by, the first snow-flakes will fall anticipating the coming winter season.

The enchanting peaks of the Dolomites have always been well known to rock-aficionados. Climbers from near and far are captivated by the spell of the so called “Monti Pallidi” which stands for “Pale Mountains”.

Walls of white and pink limestone rising steeply to 10,000 feet from green and lush grassland, is quite a spectacular sight.

There is no other mountain range that could be compared to the Dolomites that are in fact characterized by sculptured pinnacles, dramatic weathered rock shapes tinted in ever-changing shades of silver, gold and pink, in short, they seem to have been drawn by an artist’s hand.

Their monumental and aesthetic, bright appearance hides an incredible diversity of jagged crags, steep slopes and is naturally inclined to be a unique playground for climbers.

An infinite variety of routes of all types and grades are at the disposal of those who want to enter the adventure.

The choice is difficult between classic alpinism, sports climbing and the famous and leisurely “Vie Ferrate”, which are well equipped hiking routes on the rock, some of which were originally used as aid for moving mountain infantry during the First World War.

Those “iron roads” are mountain routes with fixed steel cables, ladders and bridges, this means that walkers and climbers can follow the route without using their own equipment. Climbing along a via ferrata is pure enjoyment and the risks associated with unprotected climbing are reduced to a minimum.

In this way, the most famous peaks of the Dolomites can be conquered not only by expert climber, but also by people with a sense of adventure that are reasonably fit, free from vertigo and sure-footed.
