Dolomites hut to hut guided hiking tour

I offer private guided hiking tours in the Dolomites, exploring world-renowned areas such as Rosengarden, Sassolungo, Sella, Marmolada, Alta Badia, and Cortina. These tours are designed to immerse you in the breathtaking natural beauty and rich cultural heritage of the region.

All tours are private. I do not offer group tours or accept individuals looking to join existing groups.

You can choose between:

A hut-to-hut trek, staying in traditional mountain huts

A single base tour, staying in one location and exploring different areas each day

Each experience is tailored to your preferences and fitness level.

There is easy access to trails for all levels—from beginners to experienced hikers. I’ll help plan a route that suits your abilities and interests.

Tours cover some of the most iconic and scenic areas of the Dolomites: Rosengarden, Sassolungo, Sella, Marmolada (home to the highest peak at 3,343m), Alta Badia, and Cortina d'Ampezzo.

You can reach the Dolomites by flying into nearby airports such as Venice, Verona, or Treviso, then continuing your journey by bus or rental car. Alternatively, you can take a train to stations like Bolzano or Dobbiaco, and from there, travel by bus or taxi to your final destination in the mountains.

Yes, you can enhance your hiking tour with Glacier walk in Marmolada, Via ferrata in Marmolada, Cortina, or Sella, and Rock climbing in places like Passo Sella and Cinque Torri.

Absolutely. You’ll stay in authentic mountain huts and enjoy local dishes that reflect the Italian-Austrian culinary traditions unique to the Dolomites.

As a local IFMGA-certified mountain guide, I bring deep knowledge of the terrain, culture, and hidden gems of the Dolomites. I’ll take you to places most travelers would never find on their own.

The ideal time to visit the Dolomites depends on your interests and activities. For hiking and pleasant weather, late spring (May) and early summer (June) are great options. Autumn (September to October) offers vibrant foliage and fewer tourists.

Breathtaking Scenery: From peaks and green alpine valleys to glacial lakes and wildflower-filled meadows, the Dolomites offer some of the most stunning and varied landscapes in the Alps.

Well-Maintained Trails: Most trails are clearly marked and well-kept. However, some sections may be more technical or require Via Ferrata equipment for safety.

High Altitude Hiking: Many trails reach altitudes of 7,000–8,000 feet (2,100–2,400 meters) or higher. Be prepared for the effects of altitude and plan accordingly.

Unpredictable Weather: Weather conditions can shift quickly. Afternoon thunderstorms are common in summer, so start hikes early and check forecasts regularly.

Historical Interest: You may come across World War I relics, such as old bunkers, trenches, and ruins of military outposts.

Varied Difficulty Levels: While classic routes like the Alta Via 1 are challenging, there are also many trails suitable for less experienced hikers.

For a hiking trip in the Dolomites, it's important to pack a well-prepared backpack with all the essentials. Be sure to include sturdy hiking boots, a waterproof jacket, an insulated or fleece layer, and clothing you can layer to adapt to changing temperatures. Don’t forget sunglasses, a hat, gloves, and a first-aid kit.

Acclimatize Gradually: If you're arriving from lower elevations, allow time to adjust to the altitude to avoid discomfort or altitude sickness.

Stay Hydrated and Protected: Drink plenty of water and apply sunscreen regularly—UV exposure is stronger at higher altitudes.

Choose the Right Route: Select trails that match your fitness level and experience. Don’t underestimate the terrain.

Monitor the Weather: Check forecasts before heading out and avoid exposed areas during stormy conditions.
