Overview

Trek among the unmistakably jagged peaks of the Italian Dolomites with an International Mountain Leader

Dramatic, imposing, unforgettable: the Dolomites rival any mountain range on Earth for natural beauty. Join an International Mountain Leader to walk through the national parks of Fanes-Sennes and Dolomiti di Sesto, trekking among the jagged peaks and gazing over the extraordinary three spires of the Tre Cime di Lavaredo. We stay in the traditional village of Villabassa, where spectacular scenery meets a fiercely proud Tyrolean heritage. That’s encapsulated by our home for the week: Hotel Adler, with a wonderful spa and renowned fine-dining restaurant within its 400-year-old walls.

If you want to test yourself, join one of our Activity Level 5 (Challenging) departures. See the Itinerary and Dates & Prices tab for more details.

Start at Hotel Adler in Villabassa. The leader will give a short briefing to give an overview of the week ahead.

Lago di Braies (Level 3 departures)

The ideal start to visiting this vast area is a walk straight from the hotel through the very pretty, flower-filled Braies Valley. We walk through small villages and farmland until we reach the magnificent Lago di Braies itself, one of the 297 glacial lakes in the area. It is certainly one of the most beautiful, surrounded by jagged peaks that are reflected in the extraordinary mirror-like surface of the water. We follow the route of SS hostages, the leaders of 19 countries who were freed after the second world war by the inhabitants of Villabassa.

We stop at the Durrenstein hut in the early afternoon to try the local Kaiserschmarrn speciality. On a clear day, from the summit, we can enjoy views of the Tre Cime, Monte Piana and Monte Cristallo. Tonight the restaurant will delight your palate with an authentic Tyrolean gourmet dinner.

A free day to relax in the hotel wellness centre or take a self-guided cycle around this wonderful area. Alternatively, make your way to Bolzano to visit a museum dedicated to Ötzi, the 5,000-year-old ‘iceman’ whose remarkably well-preserved body was found in 1991 high on a glacier on the Austro-Italian frontier. Or you could journey to the attractive provincial capital of Lienz in Austria; or closer to the cosy town of Brunico.

Starting from Auronzohütte, walk clockwise around the Tre Cime di Lavaredo, enjoying a picnic along the way and magnificent views throughout the day. The route then continues back to Auronzohütte in time for the return transfer.

The Tre Cime area also has a powerful historical significance: during the First World War, the front line between Italy and Austria ran through these peaks. Along the route, you can still see traces of this history, including fortifications, trenches, tunnels, iron ladders, and commemorative plaques.

Distance: 6.83mi (11km); ascent: 1,817ft (554m); descent: 1,765ft (538m)

This is a spectacular mountain day, with close-up views of the Tre Cime, Paternkofel, and numerous First World War sites. The route also includes the ascent of Oberbachernspitz, at 8,783ft (2,677m), offering magnificent views throughout the day. The walking is mostly on good mountain tracks, though some descent sections can be slippery on loose gravel.

  • Accommodation:Hotel Adler

To complete the week, we take the amazing eastern approach route up Monte Piana. After 1,969ft (600m) ascent we find ourselves upon the flat-topped mountain surrounded by some of the most impressive scenery in the Dolomites. It is the site of an open-air museum dedicated to the first world war, where trenches, dugouts and shell craters can be seen among the alpine flowers. On our return, we have time to spot the brilliant blue gentians, alpine white edelweiss and bright saffron that create a beautiful scene around Lake Misurina, thanks to the beautiful pink of the limestone rock.

Distance: 8.5mi (13.7km); ascent: 2,450ft (747m); descent: 2,857ft (871m)

Monte Piana (Level 5 departures)

Leave from the picturesque Lago d’Antorno and head north in the direction of the Tre Cime to where the valley drops between the Monte di Dentro and Monte Piano, following a babbling stream that cuts down through the open alpine pasture.

As we get to a point due east of Monte Piano, we cross a torrent (usually shallow with stepping stones, but you might get a wet foot!) and make our way up a continuous switchback climb towards the Forcella dei Castrati, enjoying an increasingly spectacular view as we go up.

At the top, we are rewarded with uninterrupted views of the Tre Cime, plus the chance to explore an open-air museum dedicated to the First World War, where trenches, dugouts and shell craters can be seen among the alpine flowers. On our return, we have time to spot the brilliant blue gentians, alpine white edelweiss and bright saffron that create a beautiful scene around Lake Misurina, thanks to the beautiful pink of the limestone rock.

Accommodation

Hotel Adler, a four-star property in Villabassa

Considered the best in town, this four-star retreat has a privileged address on the village square. Rooms are traditional yet stylish and come with Hästens beds, each of which is created with natural materials.

The hotel, which has a Level 1 South Tyrol Sustainability certificate, is run by the Pircher family but began life as the home of nobleman Stefan von Kurz zum Thurn more than 400 years ago. You can see plenty of that heritage throughout the property.

The hub of social living will likely be the bar and fireplace room, where you can sip an aperitivo or perhaps a post-dinner gin and tonic, while enjoying the relaxed hubbub with the group (a local crowd often gathers here too). There’s also a good-sized pool for morning dips and a wellness centre with a sauna, steam room, solarium and small fitness centre.

Hotel Adler has also partnered with one of the world’s top restaurants, Atelier Moessmer Norbert Niederkofler. Chefs from the three Michelin-starred restaurant run masterclasses for the hotel kitchen team – bringing fresh inspiration, world-class techniques and an even more memorable dining experience for your stay.

Room upgrades

For even more comfort, Hotel Adler offers room upgrades for a special price, exclusive to Exodus travellers. There are various room types from which you can choose. Please speak to your sales representative for more details.

Worth knowing

  • There are a limited number of double rooms for single use available for a supplement.
  • Hotel Adler does not cater for vegans.

Dolomites Travel Expert
Introducing Rob A highly experienced mountain professional, Rob has spent more than 20 years guiding in the Alps.

This trip is graded Activity Level 3 (Moderate) or Activity Level 5 (Challenging), date dependent. For more information on our trip gradings, visit our Activity Level Guidelines page. If you have any queries about the difficulty of the trip, please contact us.

Activity Levels: We enjoy walks in the same areas on each trip, but the length and difficulty vary according to the Activity Level of the departure. Please make sure you choose a week that best suits your ability.

  • Most weeks offer Activity Level 3 (Moderate) walking, where we usually walk between five and seven hours per day. The area we visit is criss-crossed by a network of long-established trails and walking paths, most well-maintained and waymarked. Even so, paths are rocky and on occasion exposed. A reasonable level of fitness is required for these weeks. Maximum altitude for Activity Level 3: 8,330ft (2,539m)
  • On some weeks, we offer Activity Level 5 (Challenging) walking. On these departures, we usually walk between six and eight hours per day at a steady pace. We use established trails and mountain paths, which are often steep, rocky and more exposed than the Activity Level 3 walks. For these departures, you need to be surefooted and have a good level of fitness. Some fixed equipment (such as holding onto a steel wire or handrail for security) may be encountered. Maximum altitude for Activity Level 5: 9,314ft (2,839m)

Itinerary: The order of the treks and the routes themselves are very likely to change to accommodate both the climatic conditions and the group’s abilities. The mountains are prone to rapid changes in conditions and your expert guides make every effort to maximise your safety and enjoyment.

Required fitness and experience: The rugged, vertical nature of the Dolomites, which gives the area its unparalleled beauty and interest, requires good fitness levels, a comfort with heights (particularly for Activity Level 5 departures) and experience in walking on steep and loose terrain. Due to the terrain on this trip, neither Activity Levels are recommended for vertigo sufferers.

Key information

Start hotel: Piazza Von Kurz 3, Villabassa 39039
Phone: +39 0474 745128
Recommended arrival time: You’re welcome to arrive any time, though rooms are typically ready in the early afternoon and there’s a welcome briefing in the evening
Airport: Venice (VCE)

Getting to the start hotel

The start hotel is approximately a 3hr 30min drive from the airport. Your options for this journey are:

Take an Exodus transfer

Exodus provides one group arrival transfer from the airport, which is timed to coincide with the arrival of a chosen flight. You may join this transfer at no extra cost, provided you can be at the airport before the transfer leaves. Speak to your sales representative for the group arrival transfer times or to arrange a private transfer.

Make your own way

It’s possible to reach the start hotel by public transport, but the journey is complicated. We therefore recommend joining the group transfer where possible. If not, take a cab from directly outside the airport or arrange a private transfer through Exodus for approximately €356 (payable before departure). If you would like further information on joining this trip, please speak to your sales representative.

Catching your return flight

There’s a group departure transfer to the airport. Please speak to your sales consultant if you wish to join. If the group departure transfer does not suit your flight time, speak to your sales consultant to arrange an alternative transfer.

Consider taking the train

Reach this trip by train from the UK or across Europe and lower your carbon footprint. Our partner, Byway, can take care of the planning and booking.

Italy

Travellers from the UK, US and EU normally do not need a visa to enter Italy. Please note, visa requirements often change and it is your responsibility to obtain any required visas for this trip. Therefore, we recommend that you check with the nearest embassy or consulate of your chosen destination(s), including any countries you may be transiting or transferring through.

Some local governments provide guidance on what visas their citizens need. To help, we’ve gathered a selection of useful links below.

• Australia: www.smartraveller.gov.au/destinations/europe/italy

• United Kingdom: www.gov.uk/foreign-travel-advice/italy/entry-requirements
• USA:  www.travel.state.gov/content/travel/en/international-travel/International-Travel-Country-Information-Pages/Italy.html

Please note: it is compulsory to carry ID with you at all times in Italy.

All breakfasts, five lunches and six dinners, one of which will be an authentic Tyrolean gourmet dinner.

For breakfast, the hotel offers a large selection of cereals, fruit, cheese and cold meats, (along with tea and coffee).

Five packed lunches are provided by the hotel. Each morning there is a small buffet with items to make your own lunch (eg bread rolls, ham, salad…). In an effort to minimise the use of plastic and single-use items, the hotel provides paper bag and reusable cutlery.

Head chef Hélène Markart is a devotee of old traditional recipes but is not afraid to give them a modern twist. At the heart of her philosophy is a reliance on local produce, from the local farmer to vegetables from the hotel garden. It’s no surprise to learn her prowess has been favourably reported in reputable guides such as Michelin.

There is a set menu for standard evening meals (usually three or four courses), which may include some local specialties such as Speckknodel (a dumpling dish).

Our gourmet dinner will undoubtedly be the culinary highlight, though as keeping things fresh and seasonal is part of the charm, there’s no way to know quite yet what delights may be served.

In the Dolomites (as always in the mountains) the weather is very changeable. In summer, expect rain on one day in two, which is likely to come in short but heavy, thundery bursts. In the valleys, daytime temperatures range from 12C to 22C (54F to 72F), although 25C (77F) is not unusual. In the mountains, it will be slightly colder. There are always patches of snow remaining on the higher peaks in late May and early November, and sometimes due to unpredictable winter weather, this can remain for a little longer. There is always the possibility of snowfall at any time of the season, therefore you need to be ready for anything, so pack shorts as well as warmer clothes; full waterproofs and sunscreen.

As a certified B Corp, we’re on a mission to improve our social and environmental impact across all our adventures.

We do this through our innovative Thriving Nature, Thriving People plan.

This ‘nature positive’ approach is designed to help nature and communities thrive in harmony through practical solutions, such as reducing carbon and waste on our trips, supporting conservation projects through the Exodus Adventure Travels Foundation, and rewilding 100 square metres for every Exodus traveller.

Views for days

This was one of the most spectacular walking holidays. The Dolomites are even more impressive in person, and walking among their jagged peaks gave me a real sense of adventure. I particularly enjoyed Tre Cime di Lavaredo and exploring Monte Piana. Hotel Adler provides a relaxing end to the day with excellent meals and a great drinks list.

The Ultimate Best of Both!

All the best bits of hiking but without the rough and tumble! Gorgeous mountain scenery with both lush meadows and dramatic dolomiti peaks, picnic lunches, 10/10 views. Except this time its followed up with an Aperol Spritz in the village square in the afternoon sun to celebrate a day well spent. Then a quick swim and sauna in the beautiful hotel spa before you settle in for a four course dinner and appertivo in the wine cellar. The ultimate best of both worlds!

This was my wife and my third holiday with Exodus, and without a doubt it was our favourite. From start to finish, everything was exceptionally well organised. Our guide, Mark, was outstanding—knowledgeable, supportive, and especially encouraging when my wife felt nervous on some of the more challenging sections leading to the summits. Hotel Adler was fantastic. Our room was clean and comfortable, the food was fresh, plentiful, and delicious, and the staff were consistently polite, friendly, and professional throughout our stay. Overall, it was a wonderful experience, and we wouldn't hesitate to recommend this trip.

Most Inspirational Moment

The highlight of the trip was reaching the summit of Dürrenstein, closely followed by the breathtaking Tre Cime and the stunning Lago di Braies. Another real highlight was the group itself. It was a pleasure to spend the week with such a friendly mix of people from different backgrounds and of varying ages. Although we were the youngest in the group, we never felt out of place.

Thoughts on Group Leader

Mark was fantastic throughout the entire week. From the warm welcome at the airport on arrival to the support and encouragement he provided during the more challenging sections of the hikes, he consistently went above and beyond. He made a genuine effort to get to know everyone in the group, joining us in the evenings and taking the time to chat with each person throughout the day. His communication was always clear and informative, and he was warm, friendly, knowledgeable, and professional at

Most Inspirational Moment

The big highlight was a sense of immersion in the mountains and the scenery. The hikes were brilliantly selected and guided to get maximum experience of the mountains. The hotel was fabulous and extremely comfortable to return to after hiking.

Thoughts on Group Leader

Thomas was very engaged with the group, had genuine passion for his local area and its history that he shared with enthusiasm. He was clearly technically a skilled hiker and we felt safe with his guidance. He was very skilled at leading a diverse group and generating a positive group dynamic. He gave a clear impression of having passion and commitment for his job.

Organisation was great from booking through to the holiday throughout. The hotel was lovely, with comfortable rooms and excellent food. Our guide Anna was wonderful and the walks were all amazing.

Most Inspirational Moment

I particularly liked the Monte Piano walk, which was the most challenging but they were all good.

Thoughts on Group Leader

Anna was very knowledgeable about the local area, geography, history, flora and fauna. She was enthusiastic, shared dinner with us in the evening and briefed us on what to expect from the next day's hike. When one lady slipped and suffered a minor cut on her leg she was quick to administer some first aid. Overall, she really helped to make this a fantastic trip.

The buses provided were comfortable, clean anddrivers drove safely on mountain roads.. I liked that Exodus included tipping of drivers and hotel staff into the price of vacation - unlike previous Exodus trips.
