Your Guides

The best people to immerse you in a destination are the ones who live there, which is why we feature local Adventure Guides on our trips. Here are a few that you might meet on this adventure.

Luca Z.

Luca Z.

Luca was born in the northern Italian town of Cividale del Friuli, near the Austrian and Slovenian borders. His love of the mountains began at an early age while exploring the foothills of the eastern Alps and the Dolomites with his family. Today Luca is a hiking guide for the Veneto Board of Alpine Guides, a UIMLA Mountain Leader, and a passionate trail runner. Luca speaks Italian, Friulano (a minority Rhaeto-Romance language), English, and a little German—and is also a classical musician with 15 years of orchestral training! When he is not mountain guiding, Luca enjoys relaxing, cooking, socializing with friends, and playing with his cats.

Chiara S.

Chiara S.

Chiara was born and raised along the southern edge of Lake Como, surrounded by nature. As a child, every free moment was an opportunity to climb trees and dive bomb into the icy lake. The sports that Chiara practiced as a young woman were always strongly linked to nature: rowing, windsurfing, and sailing helped Chiara fall in love with "her" lake; while skiing and climbing brought her closer to the mountain world. She attended university in Milan, and after a stint as a salesperson, her choice to leave the city came naturally: with her shiny red mountain bike, and "more backpacks than handbags," Chiara arrived in Cortina d'Ampezzo and never looked back! In Cortina, she found a new life, and a mountain-guide husband. Chiara has a clear passion for nature, and she loves to share her knowledge of the territory and the local culture with clients, adults and children alike.

Loris M.

Loris M.

Loris was born and raised in the countryside in North East Italy surrounded by fields and low hills, the perfect playground to develop a love for the outdoors. A short journey away were the Dolomites, which he visited regularly with his family. During these trips Loris and his father began exploring the trails, hiking in every direction they could possibly reach. Loris later served Italy by joining the National Army. He became a member of the athletic team division, focusing on trail running and biathlon, as well as working on the Army Rescue Team. Work and leisure have taken Loris to many different countries, including Nepal and Tibet. But the Dolomites still hold the top place in his heart, with their countless trails, rock climbing routes, and backcountry ski touring locations. In his time off from sports and work, Loris enjoys spending time with his family at home in Trieste.

FAQs

Trip Overview

What makes MT Sobek's Italy Best of the Dolomites Hiking trip unique?

This trip offers a deep, thoughtfully-paced immersion into the heart of the Dolomites, combining iconic hikes with remarkable cultural variety across three regions—Trentino, South Tyrol, and Veneto. Since 1985, our expert-led Italy adventures have paired iconic routes and vistas with comfortable stays in hand-picked mountain hotels, ensuring a perfect balance of rugged adventure and refined hospitality.

Legacy of Local Expertise: With over 40 years of experience in Italy, MT Sobek utilizes a vetted network of superb local guides who provide insider access and perspective into the best of this diverse and spectacular region.

Mosaic of Traditions: Experience a range of unique cultural, culinary and linguistic traditions all in one unforgettable adventure with stays across three valleys - Val di Fassa, Alta Badia and Ampezzo. As you go, learn about the rich histories of the Ladin, Tyrolean and Italian peoples who have called this region home throughout history.

Elevated Comfort: Forego the rustic backcountry huts for high-quality mountain hotels in villages like La Villa and Cortina to tackle challenging terrain by day while enjoying 4-star mountain hotel comfort at night.

Seamless Support: We handle all heavy lifting and complex mountain transfers, enabling you to hike with only a daypack through diverse landscapes from flower-filled valleys to glacial lakes and atop the high Pralongia Plateau.

When is the best time to hike in the Dolomites?

From June through September, trails, mountain huts, and hotels are typically fully accessible. Early summer often brings cooler temperatures and vibrant wildflowers, while July and August are generally warmer and busier on popular routes. September tends to be cooler and quieter, with fewer crowds and shorter daylight hours. Because this is a high mountain environment, the weather can shift quickly at any time during the season.

June to Early July - Wildflower Peak: This is the best window for photographers and nature lovers. Meadows are in full bloom with gentians and orchids, while temperatures are often cooler and trails shared with fewer fellow hikers as compared with the peak summer.

July & August - High Summer: While visitation typically peaks in July and August, you can expect the most reliable weather and typically snow-free high passes during these popular months for hiking in the Dolomites.

September - The Enrosadira: September features cooler yet stable weather, with crisp autumn air, fewer visitors, and the famous Enrosadira (alpenglow), when the limestone peaks turn deep shades of brilliant pink and red at sunset.

What is the group size for this trip?
The typical group size for this trip is between 5 and 16 guests, creating an experience that feels personal, relaxed, and thoughtfully paced. Small group travel allows us to share moments that make a journey truly memorable.
What is the minimum age for this trip?

The standard minimum age for this trip is 18. This itinerary is designed with adult travelers in mind, based on daily activity levels, accommodations, and overall group experience. Families or groups with children as young as 16 should check out our private departures .

What makes this a Level 4 trip?

This trip’s Level 4 rating reflects the cumulative challenge of trekking through rugged, high-altitude terrain for consecutive days. You should be prepared for sustained ascents and descents on uneven surfaces, covering 7-10 miles daily. With elevations reaching over 8,000 feet, this trip is designed for fit hikers seeking a rewarding mountain challenge.

Sustained Vertical Gain and Loss: Expect daily elevation changes of 2,000 to 3,000 feet. These aren't just short climbs and descents; they are extended alternating uphill and downhill sections that require good cardiovascular conditioning and steady pacing.

High-Altitude Hiking: Most of our trekking occurs between 5,000 and 8,500 feet. While not high enough for extreme altitude sickness, the thinner air makes those uphill stretches feel significantly more strenuous than at sea level.

Back-to-Back Active Days: You’ll be hiking for consecutive days from 5-6 hours a day for a full week on this Dolomites adventure. There are no "off" days, meaning your muscles need stamina to recover quickly.

Varied Alpine Terrain: Trails in the Dolomites are rarely flat. You will navigate a mix of limestone scree (loose rock), muddy forest paths, and jagged rock staircases, particularly around the Tre Cime and Cinque Torri loops.

The Weather Factor: Mountain weather can rapidly shift from full sun to rain, wind or thunderstorms, and snow is possible at altitude year-round.

Will the itinerary change?

We plan the itinerary carefully, but adjustments may be needed due to weather, trail conditions, or other factors. MT Sobek and our guides make thoughtful decisions when needed in real time to keep the experience safe and enjoyable, and any significant changes will be communicated as early and as clearly as possible.

Arriving and Departing

Where does Italy Best of the Dolomites start and end?
The trip starts and ends in Venice, Italy, with group transfers connecting the airport to the Dolomites region at the beginning and end of the itinerary.  
What airport should I fly into and out of?
You should fly into and out of Venice Marco Polo Airport (VCE).  
When should I book my flights?
Once your reservation with MT Sobek is finalized, we'll notify you of your trip's status. After your departure is confirmed to operate, flights and travel arrangements may be purchased. While we can often confirm departures in advance, some decisions may be finalized closer to final payment.
When should I plan to arrive and depart?

Once your booking is finalized with MT Sobek and your trip has been confirmed to operate, flights may be purchased. If you are unsure of the status of your trip, be sure to check with your Adventure Coordinator prior to booking non-refundable flights.

Arrival: You’ll need to arrive at Venice Marco Polo Airport (VCE) by 10:30 am on Day 1 to catch our 11:30 am group transfer. For the best experience, we strongly recommend arriving at least one day early, when possible, to allow for international travel delays, adjusting to the time change, and starting the trip feeling rested.

Departure: On Day 9, schedule your departure from Venice after 2:00 pm, allowing for the 2.5-hour group transfer from Cortina following our final Alpine breakfast.

Who will I meet on Day 1, and where?

You’ll meet your transfer driver at 11:30 am on Day 1 in the Arrivals Hall at Venice Marco Polo Airport for the scheduled group transfer.

We highly recommend taking advantage of the included group transfer to Val di Fassa. Separate transfers, with a typical rate of Euro 400-500, must be arranged on your own and are not included in the trip cost. Public transportation is available, but it is time-consuming.

Once you arrive at the hotel, you’ll meet your guide and fellow travelers for a welcome orientation followed by dinner.

Which hotels do you recommend if I arrive early or stay late?

If you arrive early or stay late in Venice, we recommend staying near the airport for convenience. We recommend the Courtyard by Marriott Venice Airport or the Annia Park Hotel Venice Airport . Both provide airport shuttles. If you are extending your stay and prefer to be in central Venice instead, suggested options include Ca' Sagredo Hotel , Hotel Londra Palace , Splendid Venice , and smaller boutique hotels such as Rigoletto and Rosso Charm .

If you choose to stay in central Venice prior to the trip, you’ll need to make your way back to the airport for the scheduled group transfer and start of the trip on Day 1.

Do I need a passport or visa for this trip?
A valid passport is required to enter Italy. Most countries require that passports be valid for at least six months beyond the end of your trip and contain at least one blank page for entry stamps. US citizens do not need a visa for stays under 90 days. Non- citizens should consult their local embassy or consulate to confirm current entry requirements.

Transportation and Transfer

Are airport transfers included?

Yes. One scheduled group airport transfer is included on Day 1 from Venice Airport to the Dolomites and on Day 9 from Cortina d'Ampezzo back to Venice Airport. Transfers outside these windows are not included in your trip price and must be arranged on your own.

Can MT Sobek help arrange a private transfer?
If possible, we recommend using the included transfers at the start and end of the trip. Private transfers typically range from Euro 400-500 between Venice and the Dolomites and must be arranged on your own. You may take public transportation but be prepared for a longer journey with many stops.
How much time will we spend in vehicles during the trip?

Most days are focused on hiking rather than driving. Short vehicle transfers are used to connect trailheads, accommodations, and key hiking areas, typically lasting 30-40 minutes, with longer transfers mainly on arrival and departure days.

Are there any especially long travel days?

The longest travel days are the arrival and departure days, with transfers of approximately 2.5-3 hours between Venice and the Dolomites.

Fitness, Terrain and Trail Expectations

How difficult is the hiking on Italy Best of the Dolomites Hiking?

This is a challenging trip requiring high physical fitness and stamina for seven consecutive days of trekking. You will navigate rugged terrain for 5-6 hours daily, covering 7-10 miles with significant elevation gain and loss throughout.

Vertical Intensity: This hiking trip involves significant and sustained uphill and downhill hiking, with daily elevation gain/loss exceeding 3,000 feet on the most challenging days, making endurance essential. These extended climbs and descents require strong conditioning.

Variable Alpine Terrain: Be prepared for uneven mountain terrain with rocky trails, muddy sections, roots and scree (loose rock). These varied surfaces add to the challenge and require good balance and surefootedness.

Back-to-Back Days: With no full "rest days" and consecutive big hikes each day of the trip, your muscles must be conditioned to recover quickly.

The Altitude Factor: Most trekking occurs between 5,000 and 8,000+ feet, where there is less oxygen in the air compared with lower elevations. The thinner air makes steep ascents like those on the Sassolungo Circuit feel more strenuous as a result.

Do I need prior experience?
Prior hiking experience is strongly recommended. You should be comfortable hiking for multiple full days on uneven terrain with sustained steep uphill and downhill sections. 
How should I train for hiking in the Dolomites?

We recommend giving yourself several months to prepare so you arrive feeling confident and strong. Start by building a solid cardio base with activities like hiking, brisk walking, stair climbing, cycling, or running. Aim for consistent workouts four times per week, gradually increasing duration to 40-60 minutes.

Hiking is the most effective training. Try to include at least one hike per week, ideally on hilly terrain. If hills are not available, stair workouts or a stair machine are excellent substitutes. Practice hiking with a daypack and gradually add weight—starting light and working up in small increments—to simulate the conditions you’ll experience on the trail.

Downhill conditioning is just as important as climbing. Long descents are common in the Dolomites and can be tough on knees and joints, so training both up and down will pay off. Trekking poles can significantly reduce strain, and we strongly encourage training with and bringing your own trekking poles on the trip.

Finally, use your training hikes to break in all your gear—boots, socks, pack, and layers—and to get comfortable with your hydration set up. Consistent, steady preparation matters more than intensity and arriving well trained will help you fully enjoy the scenery, culture, and long mountain days.

Is there any exposure or technical terrain on this trip?
This is not a technical climbing trip, but there are sections of rocky terrain, scree, and moderate exposure. While dramatic views from the trail and elevated vistas are a highlight to many on this trip, we understand they are not for everyone. Most of the trails are wide enough to get some distance between you and any drop-offs and scenic overlooks. If you have a severe sensitivity to heights, you may find a few sections challenging. Sure-footedness is important, and your guides manage pacing and route choices carefully. Trekking poles are strongly recommended for stability. 
Can I hike at my own pace?

We hike as a group with regular breaks. Guides help manage pacing so everyone can hike comfortably while maintaining safety and group cohesion.

What if I want to skip a day?
This trip was designed for hikers, with each day delivering something special. Plan to hike every day to get the most out of this trip. Days 4 and 7 are point-to-point hiking with no real opportunity to opt out. Days 2, 3, 5, 6 and 8 start and end at the same property, so you may choose not to hike on one of these days and relax at your hotel. Many hiking days begin and end in areas without easy road or vehicle access, so there is no opportunity to cut the hike short if you get tired. Plan to complete each hike you start.
How much free time will I have?
On this trip, days are centered around spectacular hiking, with some travel between valleys along the way. Evenings are generally relaxed, with time to unwind, freshen up, explore a bit, and enjoy dinner—though the pace can vary depending on the day's route.

Accommodations and Meals

What should I expect from accommodations on this trip?
Accommodations on this trip are an important part of the overall experience and are thoughtfully chosen to support the hiking route through the Dolomites. You will stay in welcoming 4-star mountain hotels and inns that combine regional character with modern comfort. These properties are selected for their location and hospitality, and provide a restful place to recharge after full hiking days. Rooms are comfortable and well appointed, but size, layout, and amenities can vary from property to property, especially in smaller mountain towns. 
Will I have access to Wi-Fi and electricity?
Yes. Wi-Fi and electricity are available at the hotels, in both guest rooms and common spaces, though connection quality can vary in mountain regions.
Are all meals included?
Breakfasts and lunches are included daily. Lunches are typically enjoyed at rifugios/mountain huts. Most dinners are included, with evenings at your leisure on Days 3, 5 and 7.
What is the food like on Italy Best of the Dolomites Hiking?

Food is an important and memorable part of this journey, and meals are well matched to long, active hiking days. The cuisine reflects the unique blend of Italian, Tyrolean, and Ladin traditions found in the Dolomites, with hearty, comforting dishes made from local ingredients. Portions are often quite large on this trip, and dinners are typically served later than is common in the US.

You can expect a range of alpine specialties such as fresh pasta and gnocchi, casunziei (ravioli often filled with pumpkin or spinach), canederli (bread dumplings flavored with cheese, speck, or herbs), barley soup, and rich vegetable soups. Main courses frequently feature polenta paired with regional cheeses, mushrooms, or game such as venison, along with seasonal vegetables. Desserts are a highlight and often include classics like apple strudel.

Can you accommodate dietary restrictions?

Yes, we can accommodate many common restrictions like vegetarian, vegan and gluten-free diets on this trip with advance notice.

Let us know about your dietary restrictions and food allergies as soon as possible, so we can coordinate with guides, hotels, and restaurants. Please also list these on your Participant Information Form.

Are single rooms available?

Yes, a limited number of single rooms are available on this trip. About a third of our travelers go solo, and single room inventory often books up quickly!

Please note that the single supplement reflects the cost of a private room. Guests who prefer to share may request a roommate and pay the per-person double occupancy rate if paired with a roommate.

Are triple rooms available?
Triple rooms are not offered on this trip to ensure all accommodations meet MT Sobek standards for your comfort. 

Packing and Gear

What should I pack for hiking in the Dolomites?

Focus on dressing in layers to accommodate varying weather conditions. Gorgeous warm days can shift to windy afternoons, and a rainy start may end in sunshine.

Layering is key. You may hike in very warm or cold conditions, sometimes on the same day. We recommend synthetic or wool/synthetic blend clothing that insulates well, wicks moisture, and dries quickly. Cotton is discouraged in cold or wet conditions, as it retains moisture and can lead to chilling. Each day, you should plan to carry a warm layer and rain shell in your daypack, even if the weather looks clear when you set out. Being well layered and prepared allows you to stay comfortable and enjoy the hiking no matter what the mountains deliver.

Full rain protection—a waterproof, breathable rain jacket, and rain pants—is essential throughout the season, as wind and rain can cause temperatures to drop rapidly, even in summer. Warm gloves and a hat that covers your ears are also important to carry at all times.

You may or may not need to use all the items that we recommend, depending on the conditions you encounter on your trip, but you’ll be very happy to have the right gear if needed.

Sturdy hiking footwear is essential. A detailed Packing List will be provided.

Do I need trekking poles or specialty gear?
Trekking poles are strongly recommended, especially for long descents and uneven terrain. We recommend you train with the poles you'll bring and use on the trip. Collapsible trekking poles should be packed in your checked luggage, as most airports will not allow hiking poles as carry-on items. No technical climbing gear is required. 
What size daypack should I bring?
A 25–35-liter daypack is ideal. It should comfortably carry water, snacks, extra layers, rain gear, sunscreen, and personal items you want during the day. You will also want to bring a waterproof rain cover, well-fitted to your pack.
Can I bring more than one bag?

Guests should plan to bring one main piece of luggage and a daypack. Because vehicle space is limited, packing efficiently is important.

On this itinerary, luggage transfer is included, meaning your bags are moved from hotel to hotel while you hike—so you can focus on the trail, not your gear.

Are there any seasonally required items?
Regardless of the month you travel, you should be prepared for mountain weather, which can change quickly and dramatically over the course of a single day. It is common to start hiking in a T-shirt at lower elevations and need warm layers, wind protection, or rain gear as you gain altitude or as conditions shift.
What kind of footwear should I bring for this trip?

You'll need sturdy, waterproof hiking boots with good traction and ankle support through rocky terrain and variable weather. Your boots should be well broken in before the trip.

Will I have access to laundry during the trip?

Laundry service is available at all of your hotels but can be expensive and take up to 24 hours. With hotel stays of 2-3 nights, there are numerous opportunities during the trip. Check with the hotel on available laundry service turnaround times. Choose quick-drying synthetic clothing if you want to hand-wash items along the way and bring a portable clothesline and small packet of laundry detergent for this purpose.

Should I bring a personal medical kit?
Yes. Your guide will also carry a first aid kit, but we recommend you bring your own supply of basics such as blister care, bandages, sunscreen, lip protection, and electrolytes to have handy. Please bring a sufficient supply of your personal medications.

On-the-Ground Travel Tips

What is the weather like in the Dolomites?

Weather in the Dolomites is defined by dramatic shifts across elevations and months. While lower elevations often range from the 60s-70s°F in summer, temperatures can drop into the 30s-40s°F in wet or windy conditions, especially at higher altitude. You should prepare for a "four-seasons-in-one-day" experience, where brilliant sunshine can quickly trade places with rain, wind, or even late-season snow. Dressing in layers is essential in the Dolomites.

Predictable Afternoon Storms: In July and August, warm air from the Venetian plains often triggers afternoon thunderstorms. Your guides will plan the hikes to account for these dynamics.

The 3.6° F Rule: For every 1,000 feet you climb, the temperature typically drops by about 3.6° F. This means a comfortable 70° F afternoon in the Cortina valley can be a brisk 55° F or even less at higher altitudes.

Snow and Wind: While trails are generally clear from mid-June to September, cold fronts can bring a dusting of snow to high passes like the Sassolungo even in summer, where strong winds can make a 50° F day feel like 35° F. Sturdy waterproof and windproof outer layers are always important for maintaining comfort .

What currency should I bring?
Italy uses the Euro. Credit cards are widely accepted, but carrying some cash is helpful for small purchases, mountain huts, and personal expenses. 
Will I have cell service?
Cell service is generally available in towns and many hiking areas, but coverage can be inconsistent in the mountains. Check with your service provider for details. We recommend downloading important information for offline access.
Will I need electrical adapters or a voltage converter?
Italy uses 220–240 volts with Type F and Type L outlets. Many modern electronics support dual voltage, but you should check your devices and bring appropriate adapters or a universal adapter.
How much extra money should I budget?
We recommend budgeting approximately $700–$900 for personal expenses such as drinks, souvenirs, laundry, meals on your own, and optional gratuities.
How is tipping handled on this trip?

Tipping is optional and based on your experience. As a general guideline, we suggest the equivalent of $100-$150 per guide, per participant, in local currency. Your trip is supported by at least one MT Sobek guide for every eight guests, and gratuities for hotel and restaurant staff are already included in your trip price.

Specific tipping recommendations for your departure will be outlined in your Final Details, which are sent about three weeks before the trip. Please note that tips should be given in cash, as our local teams are unable to accept gratuities via credit card, checks, or payment apps. Tipping is always at your discretion and should reflect your personal level of satisfaction.

Health and Safety

Do you recommend travel insurance?

Yes, we strongly recommend purchasing travel insurance for all trips. Travel insurance can help cover trip cancellations or interruptions, medical expenses, emergency evacuation, travel delays, and other unexpected situations.

We offer travel insurance with Arch RoamRight and will be happy to provide you with a quote. Please see our Travel Resources page for more information.

Do I need to be cleared by a doctor to participate?
There is no standard required clearance from a doctor to participate in this trip. You will have an opportunity to discuss your fitness and preparedness for the trip with MT Sobek. If you have medical concerns or questions about fitness, consult your healthcare provider before traveling.
What medical support is available during the trip?

Guides are trained and certified UIMLA Professional Mountain Leaders and carry medical kits in case of emergencies. Medical facilities are available in towns but can be far from remote trail locations. See “Section I: Trail Support and Emergencies” below for more information.

What kind of challenges should I expect on Italy Best of the Dolomites Hiking?

To get the most out of your trip, it is helpful to be prepared for the challenges of the trail, such as sustained elevation gains and losses, rocky or uneven terrain, and the variable weather typical of the Dolomites. Your guides are there to support you every step of the way, managing the daily pace, making adjustments based on conditions as needed, and sharing helpful info to help you stay comfortable and in high spirits.

You should also be prepared for road travel in the Dolomites, which is often on narrow, winding, and sometimes bumpy mountain roads.

How can I stay healthy during the trip?

Staying healthy on this trip starts with good pre-trip preparation and daily habits. Hydrate consistently throughout the day, especially during long hikes, and eat regularly to keep your energy levels steady. On warmer days, using powdered electrolytes can help replenish minerals lost through sweat.

Foot care is especially important. Wear well-fitting, broken-in footwear, keep your feet dry when possible, and address hot spots or blisters early using moleskin or Compeed patches. Liner socks can also help reduce friction. Simple steps like trimming toenails before the trip and changing socks as needed can make a big difference over consecutive hiking days.

Hand hygiene matters as well. Wash or sanitize your hands frequently, particularly before meals. Prioritize rest and recovery in the evenings, and don’t hesitate to talk with your guide about pacing, layering, or minor concerns as they arise. Addressing small issues early is one of the best ways to stay comfortable and enjoy the full experience.

Trail Support and Emergencies 

What if I have an emergency and need to be evacuated?
In the event of an emergency, your guides will assess the situation and take appropriate action based on location, conditions, and available access. Our guides are trained in emergency response and carry communication equipment to contact local services when needed. Methods of emergency evacuation will be based on location and available vehicle access. While this trip travels for the most part in locations that are not especially remote, you may need to travel a distance on foot to support emergency evacuation unless it is impossible to do so. It is important to understand that access to medical facilities may be delayed, and evacuation whether by vehicle or other means can be complex, time-consuming, and expensive. For this reason, we strongly recommend purchasing travel insurance that includes medical evacuation coverage. 
Are bathrooms available on the trail?
Bathrooms are available at some mountain huts and in towns, but not everywhere. When facilities are not available, guides can provide guidance on Leave No Trace practices and how to answer nature's call in the outdoors responsibly, safely, and privately.
What is the guide-to-guest ratio?
This trip is typically staffed with at least one guide for every eight guests. A second guide will be added for larger groups.

Extensions and Local Exploration

Are trip extensions available before or after Italy Best of the Dolomites Hiking?
No. Trip extensions are not available for this itinerary. If you're planning to arrive early or stay late independently, your Adventure Coordinator can help you think through timing and logistics.
What are the best things to do if I arrive early or stay late?

If you have extra time in Venice, many guests enjoy exploring historic neighborhoods and canals; visiting museums, churches, and piazzas; enjoying local food, cafes, and markets or taking a relaxed pre-trip day to adjust to time zones and prepare gear.
