This is a really lovely trip offering walks of different grades in the stunning landscape of the Dolomites. Throw in a cosy hotel, good food, a few cold beers, and a group of like-minded companions and you really have a fantastic holiday for anyone with a decent level of fitness.
Walking along a ridge on a sunny day with nothing to worry about except what I would have for my lunch!
Eric and Emily were fantastic. They really did their utmost to make sure we all had a wonderful experience and it worked!
Make sure you are reasonably fit because you will enjoy it all the more if you are.
This was a most outstanding trip, with excellent walks of grade 5. The scenery was magical, the Dolomites being very different to many mountain ranges I have previously walked in. The transport of both buses and ski lifts to the start points worked perfectly. It is an area I would highly recommend for its history and breathtaking ups and downs!
All the walks exceeded my expectations, including the scrambles and climbs.
Emily and Eric were brilliant and looked after us well, chosing the walks to fit the group.
Have no hesitation to book but come out fit, you'll enjoy the walking all the more.
You really have to go on this trip! The scenery is amazing with a mixture of dramatic mountains and green hills. Lovely family run hotel with very high class rooms and food. Great leaders (Emily and Eric) who are very experienced and helpful and really want you to have a great holiday.
The Dolomites scenery is stunning with mountains with spiky peaks - very unusual. Very green parts too.
The leaders (Eric and Emily) gave me great confidence and both of them treated you as an individual, and really wanted you to have the best holiday ever! Both were very kind.
Take good boots, poles and some warm clothes.
Book on this holiday as soon as possible!
Beautiful jagged mountains. Great guides. Good companions. Excellent weather.
The ridge walk on the last day with a powdering of snow
Excellent
Just do it
No
I was worried about sharing a room with a stranger but am so glad I did. The company of 17 like minded people from all walks of life was remarkably good. I would like to go back to the Dolomites earlier in the summer when these stunning mountains could be seen in sunshine. The hotel room was comfortable and the food was excellent. I liked being able to choose between the 2 levels of walks and appreciated the care from the 2 excellent leaders.
The last day when I joined the more advanced group and saw the amazing views as I made it across ridge.
Both Eric and Emily went out of their way to make the holiday as good as it could be. We had a bad start with the delayed flight then the accident when one of the group slipped and broke his leg. On top of these events, the weather was disappointing. Thanks to their care and attention the group overcame these difficulties and managed to have a really great holiday.
It can be cold on the high mountains so bring a warm hat, ski type gloves and clothes to layer up as required.
I look forward to my next Exodus Holiday
I loved this trip – perfect combination of brilliant leaders (Albert & Eric), superb hiking, spectacular scenery and great company. I chose this over the Classic Dolomites since I don’t have a great head for heights but from what I saw and heard while I was there the Western Dolomites trip has the definite edge. One to put on your bucket list!
360 degree views nearly all day every day. The Via Ferrata trip Eric offered on our (and in theory, his) day off - given my poor head for heights it says something for the confidence I had in him (and support from the rest of the group) that I decided to give it a go. I was really glad I did, we had a brilliant day.
Albert & Eric were superb, can't praise or thank them enough. They were also wonderful company and a mine of information about the area and people. I can see myself choosing future trips on the basis of which ones they are leading!
Don't be put off by the sense from the website that this is the poor relation to the Classic Dolomites - it's anything but that! Quite the contrary I'd say. And don't decide on the basis of the comments about the hotel or food. Hotel Laurino was a really nice place to stay - it was great being in a town and being able to go for a stroll or drink in the evening, the rooms were lovely and impeccably clean, the staff were super and nothing was too much trouble. I agree with the reviews about the food - it's pretty average and a bit bland but the location, facilities and staff more than compensated. And there was buckets of food so it certainly wasn't a case of going hungry. Anyway save space for mid-morning and lunch at the refuges - they were fantastic.
I would go back in the morning!
I really enjoyed this trip and I would say the highlight for me was the variety of scenery, not just over the course of the week but on each walking day! Stunning limestone towers and very Austrian style rolling meadows with the greatest profusion of alpine flowers I have ever seen each day. Both the leaders were very experienced and a good laugh too. Although some have stated the hotel was basic, I found it clean and comfortable and the food was certainly better than last years TMB highlights trip! Overall a very enjoyable holiday with a lovely group of people and I would thoroughly recommend it.
Walking through the stunning limestome scenery close to the Vajolet towers. Just awesome!
Very experienced and a nice bloke. I did find the pace a bit faster than I would have liked on some days (B grade walks too) but that was probably more due to my recovering from a knee injury unfortunately sustained not long before my holiday. If you are thinking of C grade you will need to be pretty fit.
Go and enjoy yourself!
Make sure you have lots of space on your camera's memory stick and don't let your fellow group members know if you have a passion for the local bakery and gelaterie!!
Fantastic! This is a great walking week with stunning scenery, good food, nice hotel and 2 excellent tour leaders. A must do holiday for anyone who loves the mountains……it’s walking at its best.
Too many to choose from!! Each walk was so different, and each day had its own highlight. The scenery is truly stunning throughout.
They were both great. Eric lead the B group walks and Albert the C group. They were both full of fun and enthusiasm and made each day interesting. Don't think I've ever laughed so much on an Exodus walking holiday!! They were well organised, considerate for all individuals within the group, good company and knew the walks and mountains extremely well. Both very experienced mountain leaders.
Take walking poles as lots of steep descents on C group walks and they definitely came in useful. A reasonable level of fitness is required as walks are challenging but incredibly rewarding.
This really is a fabulous weeks walking, one of the best I have done. Don't understand why Exodus don't run it more frequently......they should do! I have only good things to say about it, so my advice is just book it, enjoy it and have fun.!! This is the ultimate Dolomites holiday.
We chose this trip because we imagined that we could manage C grade walking but wanted the daily availability of the B grade in case we needed an ‘easier’ day. Having two leaders made this possible. All the walks exceeded our best expectations. Each one had a distinctive character of its own.
There were many wonderful moments every day because the scenery was stunning and our fellow walkers were interesting, enthusiastic and had a good sense of humour, as did our leaders. By the end of the week we all felt a great sense of achievement.
Our group leaders really did bring out the best in everybody. They were very knowledgeable, good company and always attentive to our needs.
Take walking boots that have been tried and tested. Some might find a single mountain walking stick useful for descents.
Go for it -you'll remember the experience with pleasure for years to come and it will inspire you to seek out more adventures!
I found this a very rewarding trip with some of the most excellent walking I have done on a group holiday. The leaders were top notch and made the whole experience very enjoyable, not to mention a lot of fun.
The view from the top of the cable car on the first walk set the scene for the whole holiday.Discussing the possibility of other trips with the leaders
They were both excellent
Just enjoy
The walking was at the top end of the grade for this holiday which made the experience all the more satisfying, this together with a great group of people made it an unforgettable holiday.
