Start in Cortina d'Ampezzo and end in Campitello Di Fassa, the "Walking In The Dolomites" tour is a self-guided walking tour that takes 8 days. You will travel through Campitello Di Fassa, Lake Antorno, Rifugio Auronzo and 4 other destinations in Italy. "Walking In The Dolomites" is a private tour which includes accommodation, transport, meals and others.

Self guided walk beneath the dramatic limestone peaks of the Italian Alps. This Dolomites hiking holiday starts with a walk to the spectacular Tre Cime di Lavaredo, a fantastic first day’s walk if ever there was to set the standard for the week. The scenery continues to impress with new panoramas unfolding with each turn and every crossing of the passes. The cliffs of the Tofana, Sella and Marmolada massifs tower above the winding paths where all this magnificent scenery seems packed into an impossibly small area. High mountain paths are interspersed with lush meadows and pretty hamlets and villages. Refuges and mountain restaurants provide a perfect excuse to rest from your walking and drink in the views as well as welcome refreshments. To cap it all, there are opportunities for the not-so-faint-hearted to stand on a couple of summits and peer down the almost vertical rock faces.
The Dolomites are amongst the most striking of all European mountains. Although not exceptionally high (the highest peak is Marmolada at 3342m), they rise in steep limestone spires, coloured in weathered hues of rose, yellow, white and grey.
Below the peaks bright green meadows come alive with wild flowers all summer, while the lower valleys are full of orchards, vineyards and a chequerboard of cultivated fields.
The region was heavily fought over in World War I and, in fact, the fighting even changed the shape of some of the mountains. Nowadays, in more peaceful circumstances, we can enjoy one of the most spectacular walking holidays in all of Italy.
