There is something decidedly divine about Italy’s Dolomites. In summer, these unique rocks glow with pinks and yellows during sunset; in winter, the snow-covered peaks positively sparkle; and throughout the year, this beautiful valley offers comfortable mountain lodging with delicious Italian and Tyrolean cuisine. Every morning, you’ll awake to a sunrise that sets the snow on fire with its rosy glow, and we’ll trek to a different destination from our comfortable hotel base in Alta Badia, the heart of the Dolomites. You’ll experience the best of this magical region—the serenity of its wintertime beauty, the traditions of its agricultural culture, and the bounty of its delectable cuisine!
