The Dolomites Trips & Tours

Dazzlingly white against their backdrop of green valleys and meadows, the Dolomites are a collection of pale limestone towers, UNESCO-listed and famous for glowing pink at sunset. Picturesque villages nestle in the valleys and German and Italian traditions intermingle (locals are bilingual), creating a unique culture – and cuisine – of hearty Alpine-ness and a delicate Italian finesse. In summer, the air is crisp and fragrant, wildflowers bloom and the hiking trails come alive. Come winter, Europeans and visitors flock for famous Dolomiti Superski, a mammoth 1,200-kilometre area of ski runs via 450 lifts – the Sella Ronda is the most iconic – and the gorgeous, wood-panelled hotels that glow against the snow. Whether you’re zooming down the dramatic pinnacles or simply sipping grappa in a cosy mountain rifugio, the Dolomites deliver mountain magic in spades, yet with that unmistakable Italian panache.
