Hard things in scenic places with beautiful (souls) people

Highlights:
Sharing strudel, wine and company with remarkable, fun intentional adventurers – interesting and interested in others
Yellow-billed chough flying overhead against the blue skies.
Lago di Braies turquoise waters. Stopping for lunch and to take it all in.

Most Inspirational Moment

Visiting the sophisticated alpine town of Cortina on a mountain bike (off day) from Villabassa...towering limestone peaks, lakes and mossy pine forest growth, mountain air and cool damp air. Exhilarating.

Thoughts on Group Leader

Rob is a total professional, fun and informative. Highly recommend.

Advice for Potential Travellers

prepare with long (3+ hour) walks/hikes at least a month or two in advance. pack light. layer. get to know your fellow adventurers.

Amazing Dolomites Experience

From start to finish, this was a first-class experience. Everything was thoughtfully planned, the food was fabulous, and each hike was perfectly chosen—challenging, spectacular, and filled with epic views. An unforgettable trip, and I would absolutely travel with Exodus again.

Most Inspirational Moment

Submitting Mt Durrenstein - there was a really scary short section, that our guide and fellow hikers all supported everyone getting through. It was amazing to make it to the top!

Thoughts on Group Leader

Mark Brown was an awesome guide—knowledgeable, engaging, and attentive to everyone’s needs. He chose fantastic hikes with spectacular views and added personal touches, like teaching us about the local flowers and helping us find Edelweiss. He made an unforgettable trip even more special.

Advice for Potential Travellers

Don't overthink this one, just do it… If you want a more challenging adventure, definitely go for the challenging option.

Hiking the Dolomites

The holiday was exactly what I was hoping for, exceeding my expectations. The prospectus was clear and accurate. The booking system and sales support team were excellent. Leaders and accommodation were equally good. The walks were well-graded and took us through the most lovely landscapes. As always, I found myself in like-minded company and quickly made friends of my fellow travellors.

Most Inspirational Moment

The scenery, the alpine meadows and their biodiversity. The good leadership and good company.

Thoughts on Group Leader

Both leaders were well-informed and experienced. They knew their patch very well and Mark had helpful botanical knowledge, which I appreciated. They were personable, with excellent inter personal and leadership skills. They had the skill of cementing together a party of disparate nationals into a fellowship.

Hiking the Dolomites

Hotel accommodation is great. The two hiking guides, especially Jenny, were professional and gave expert advice.

Most Inspirational Moment

The Dolomites mountain ranges and alpine meadows are mesmerizing.

Thoughts on Group Leader

Jenny is helpful and caring. She makes sure that everyone finishes the hike safely and satisfactorily.

Hiking the Dolomites

Everything was great. The options of 3 or 5 level hikes, the private transfers that cut down on the long waiting for public buses and made us feel safe on the mountain roads, the selection of hikes, the kindness and helping tips from Jenny and Rob, getting to experience both as hike leaders, the exceptional hotel staff, delicious food… all was wonderful

Most Inspirational Moment

Learning from the hike leaders (poling skills, plants, so much!), Jenny and Rob. Gorgeous surroundings! Personalized care from the hotel staff (food preferences). The guides got us to the most wow factor places no matter our abilities. We lived the others in our group also and the option to mix levels each day so we often hiked with new people.

Thoughts on Group Leader

Jenny was AMAZING. She was very knowledgeable of the area and hiking in general. She was kind and funny and patient and challenged us to try new things. She helped us work together and allowed us to go at our own pace. Rob was also very good - although we only did one hike with him - and added a lot with his geology knowledge.

Hiking the Dolomites

Our guides…Jenny, Mark and Rob (Mark left and Rob replaced him)..where knowledgeable, gave excellent advise and always there to help

Most Inspirational Moment

Scenery, varied walking hikes, accommodation and meals were great, and met some great people

Thoughts on Group Leader

Good holiday, would recommended highly

Transportation

Great scenery, well selected hikes, great guides, nice hotel. Overall a great vacation!
But……..

Thoughts on Group Leader

Mark and Jenny did great work, adjusted for weather and capabilities of hikers. Some of the guests needed more assistance and they did not hesitate to accommodate them. Well done!

Advice for Potential Travellers

This trip uses public transportation for getting to/from our hikes. The busses are crowded, late, and don’t seem to follow any specific schedule. We were left standing on some occasions, gave up and walked on others, and had to push and shove to get on and off every time. This aspect of the vacation is unacceptable and I unfortunately can’t recommend the trip unless it is changed to private transportation.

Hiking the Dolomites

Stunning scenery , well organised hikes. Appropriate focus on hiking, whilst offering decent accommodation. Friendly inclusive ethos

Most Inspirational Moment

Climb to Piz Boè

Thoughts on Group Leader

Had a great week with Mark. He was particularly good at encouraging everyone to reach their potential without taking unnecessary risks.

Highlights of the Dolomites

Great trip

Most Inspirational Moment

Summiting at a refuge with 360 degree views

Thoughts on Group Leader

Jenny Smith--who was excdellent

Well done

I offer the following comments
First, Jenny and Mark were extraordinary tour leaders. They were thoughtful, attentive and kind. and very knowledgeable
Second, the walks were great; the scenery delightful.
Third, while I am not a coffee drinker, I heard a number of our group wish the hotel’s dining room would offer coffee/tea before the 730 am start to breakfast. some of the group awoke early and would have dearly liked a good cup of coffee, and there was none to be had. please consider.
Fourth, we started each day with a bus ride. However, the local buses were often late or the lines of riders very very long, thus delaying the start to our hikes. Please consider having a bus available for the group to start the day.

Most Inspirational Moment

some of the views of the Dolomites from trailheads or close to trailheads.

Thoughts on Group Leader

great!

Advice for Potential Travellers

As we stopped at mountain huts each day for lunch, no need to worry about carrying a lunch any day. bring good hiking poles.
