Alpine Adventure amid Italy’s Dramatic Mountains
Breathe in the Dolomites: fresh Alpine air, jagged limestone peaks, wildflower-dotted meadows and panoramic mountain vistas. With each step into this remarkable landscape, the air feels fresher and the world feels farther away.
Highlights
- Hike through a tapestry of wildflower meadows, fragrant pine forests and storybook villages
- Sit down to hearty Tyrolean-Italian cuisine paired with spectacular views of the surrounding peaks and valleys
- Take in seemingly endless vistas of jagged peaks and glacial valleys along the trails of Sennes Pass
- Soar above the tree line by gondola to reach remote trails in Puez-Odle Nature Park, a UNESCO World Heritage Site
- Stay in family-owned Alpine rifugios perched high in the mountains, where warm hospitality, hearty meals and starlit skies await

We want to make sure you're on the trip that's right for you. Every Backroads trip is unique and this one is no exception.
Our accommodations for this itinerary have been carefully chosen to bring you an authentic experience in the Dolomites. These renovated traditional Dolomite lodges are located deep in the mountains to provide service to hikers. While not as luxurious as other Backroads accommodations, these properties offer warm hospitality, charm and character in addition to modern comforts and amenities. If you request a double bed, please keep in mind that European double beds are often two twin beds adjacent to each other. On occasion, there is the potential to be assigned bunk beds. Single room availability is limited.
Our hikes through the region’s captivating terrain are often on trails that do not intersect with roads. Vehicles will sometimes get us to and from the trailheads, but the nature of these trails is such that we won’t see our vans along the route. Trail support in the form of water, snacks and encouragement is provided by your Backroads leaders.
