Multi-day treks with certified Alpine Guides

Guided or self-guided, built around you
Multi-day treks · Dolomites & Eastern Alps · June–September
We design and run multi-day hut-to-hut treks across the UNESCO World Heritage Dolomites and the neighbouring Alps — from the classic Alta Via 1 to the almost-empty Friulian Dolomites.
Every route runs in two formats: guided, walking with a certified Italian Alpine Guide, or self-guided, with mountain huts booked for you, luggage transferred where the route allows and turn-by-turn GPS navigation. Groups stay small and private, the season runs from June to late September, and we work with the same rifugi and mountain families year after year.

The routes
A short collection of traverses and circuits, each one walked and vetted by our team. From three days in the Lagorai to eleven on the Alta Via 1: you pick the pace, we handle the huts, the logistics and the safety.

Two ways to walk
Every Dolomist trek exists in both formats. What changes is who walks beside you — not the quality of the route.
A certified Italian Alpine Guide walks with you the whole way.
You walk at your own rhythm; we handle everything around the walking.
Your window, your group, and how hard you want it to be.
We match a route and a format to your fitness and your calendar, and send a tailored quote.
Rifugi, transfers and luggage, confirmed long before you fly.
You arrive, you walk, and we stay reachable the whole way.

Frequently asked
The trekking season runs from June to late September. Most routes open between the second week of June and the start of July, once the high passes clear of snow and the rifugi open. July and August are the warmest and the busiest; early September usually brings the most stable weather and the quietest trails.
For most routes, no — but you do need to be fit. A typical Dolomist day is 5 to 7 hours of walking with 600 to 1,000 metres of ascent on marked CAI paths. Routes are graded from easy to challenging, and we match the route to your fitness before you book.
A rifugio is a staffed mountain hut, usually between 1,800 and 2,700 metres, serving dinner and breakfast and sleeping guests in shared rooms or small dormitories. Bathrooms are shared, showers are limited, and you bring a sleeping-bag liner. Half board is included on our treks.
On a guided trek a certified Italian Alpine Guide walks with you the whole way and makes the weather, variant and safety calls. On a self-guided trek you walk alone or with your own group, while we book the huts, arrange luggage transfer where possible and give you a GPS route and a daily roadbook, with a support line open for the whole trek.
Between three and eleven. The Alta Via del Granito in the Lagorai is a three-day loop; the Alta Via 1 from Lake Braies to Belluno takes nine to eleven days. Most travellers pick something between five and seven.
Yes. Rifugi are booked and confirmed before you leave home, together with transfers and — on the routes that allow it — luggage transfer between stages.
Most travellers fly into Venice, Verona, Innsbruck or Milan and continue by train and bus, or by private transfer. Once your dates are confirmed we send exact directions to the basecamp of your route.
Only for the via ferrata routes, such as the Bocchette in the Brenta Dolomites, which we run guided with a certified Alpine Guide. All the other treks follow marked walking paths, with the occasional cabled section.
Price depends on the route, the format (guided or self-guided), the number of days and the size of your group. Tell us your dates and we send a tailored quote — asking for one is free and commits you to nothing.
