Description

Join me on this challenging but rewarding 1-week hiking expedition through the Italian Dolomites!

After we meet up, we will spend the first few days acclimatizing in the stunningly scenic mountain town of Colfosco. We will make the most of our time here by hiking into the mountains and building up our strength for the highlight of our trip.

In the evening, we will be free to enjoy the various restaurants and cafes in the town, tucking into some excellent local cuisine and drinks.

The Dolomites have recently, and rightly, been named a UNESCO world heritage site. You will see why throughout the week, as we enjoy spectacular views of snow-capped mountains and glaciers, sky blue lakes and picturesque evergreen forests.

For those of you who are feeling more adventurous, we will have the option of doing an overnight hike in which we will stay in one of the region’s iconic alpine huts.

Finally, at the end of our trip, we will spend the day hiking to the top of the 3.200 meter Marmolada and enjoy the breathtaking views from its summit. Afterwards, it is time to hike back to Colfosco and say our goodbyes.

So what are you waiting for? Book now for this scenic and exciting 1-week hike through the Italian Dolomites, culminating in us reaching the summit of the Marmolada!

If you like the look of this trip then I think you will also enjoy my 15-day trek through Peru’s Cordillera Huayhuash and tour of Machu Picchu!

What people are saying about Explore-Share

Man

Climbing with guide Guillaume was absolutely a highlight of my 2-week Europe vacation. Originally, we were planning on climbing in the Calanques, but the park was closed due to wind and fire danger. Guillaume chose another amazing location (Pic de Bretagne) based on my climbing abilities and preferences and kindly offered train station pick-up and hotel drop off, which I appreciated very much. The multi-pitch route we did was not only fun but also the right amount of challenge, which I thoroughly enjoyed. The communication from the team (Gauthier) was prompt and clear—highly recommend!

Maxine

Luis Silva was a great climbing guide and belayer! He taught me how to do moves that were difficult and encouraged me to try routes that were challenging for me! Because of his encouragement, I managed to complete these routes! I really enjoyed the climbs and completed 8 routes in the Sesimbra/Azoia area. The weather was perfect, no direct sun and cool enough to enjoy the climbs. Explore-Share made booking an outdoor climbing experience in Lisbon extremely easy. Luis, our guide, was fantastic, and the platform’s organization was flawless.

We had Léo as a guide for our day climb in Fonty. We were blessed with a knowledgeable, warm, and instructive guide. Communication with Léo and Ivan was smooth and swift. Explore-Share was excellent in arranging everything for our day climb. The communication was quick, and the platform was easy to use, making our adventure stress-free.

Patrick was a great guide. He took us on an intermediate Via Ferrata at Passo Sella. Renato was quick to respond with any outreach on the Explore-Share platform. The booking process was straightforward, and once Patrick was confirmed, all went well. It was a wonderful experience, and I’d highly recommend the platform.
