Hiking the Dolomites

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

Great trip

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.

I was travelling as an Exodus Staff Member: This trip was stunning and up there with one of the best I have done with Exodus. You can chose between grade 3 and grade 5 walks every day, which gives you the freedom to decide how challenging your days are. I opted for grade 5 every day and chose to enjoy my free day at thr QC Terme Dolomiti spa which was a welcomed relax between the walks. The weather was stunning during the days and walks varied, every walk was breath taking and offered something different, even though I don't think you could ever get bored of the scenary. Campitello di fassa was a lovely town to be based in, it has everything you needed without feeling too big or busy.

Overall an excellent experience, headquartered in Campitello de Fassa. Accommodations/food was very good. Hiking all fun. Great leaders. My only recommendation would be the city busses were not timely, and they were full at times; having been cut back from the summer schedule.. It would be worth a few extra $ to have private transportation in the morning to the hike/gondola site.
