“The most beautiful mountains in the world” is how Reinhold Messner described the Dolomites when he supported their successful UNESCO World Heritage bid. Here at trekMountains we agree with him because of:
- the variety – every turn you take in the Dolomites offers a new view
- the adaptability – the Dolomite mountains offer walking for everyone – whether you are looking for a gentle stroll, a family walk, a mountain experience or a challenging via ferrata
- the hospitality in the excellent network of mountain rifugi and hotels in the area is exceptional – you can always be assured of a warm welcome in the Dolomites
- the incredible diversity of flora and fauna.
- the Dolomites are simply stunning in every season
We think that all these factors combine to make the mountain trekking in the Dolomites the very best hiking anywhere in the world, and that is why we have become Dolomites specialists since trekMountains first began in 2010.
If you’re not sure where to start looking for your next walking holiday, we would recommend that you look at the UNESCO Geotrail, the Alta Via della Val Gardena or the Alta Via 1 – the Dolomite’s flagship high level route. Our flexible itineraries makes it easy for us to fit some of the best hiking routes in the world into whatever length of holiday you have.
The Dolomites are easily accessed via the culturally-unique city of Venice, and a stay there makes a great addition to the start or end of your trek.
