SUMMER

From June to September takes place a great alpine summer. There’s a high season in July and August; the prices of accommodations are higher and the weather mostly changeable. If you can choose the period it’s better to come in June or September when the weather is settled, there is less people and the prices are lower.
Look at our proposals for that period but don’t forget to ask us per mail a programme adapted to your needs. We’ll answer very soon!

(NDTT) Northern Dolomites Trekking Tour (4 days hut to hut)

This trek covers the north sector of the Dolomites with its most famous groups: Odle, Fanis, Counturines, Tofane. We leave from Bressanone and in a four-days trek from west to east we arrive in Cortina. We’ll overnight in unique places like the sanctuary of Sas dl Crusc and the rifugio/hut on the Lagazuoi’s peak with its breath-taking view. This tour is well suited also for less-trained people, apart from Day 1, every other day the hiking program can be shortened using public transportation. During the whole trek we’ll be touched by ancient ladins traditions.

Day 1 - Arriving in Bolzano you’ll be welcomed by your mountain guide who will accompany you to your chosen hotel. There we’ll have a short briefing to detail every single day of your chosen program. In the evening we’ll have dinner downtown in one of the historical restaurants of the city.

Day 2 - We catch the train from Bolzano to Bressanone arriving in more or less 30min. From here we take the rope-ways heading to Plose at 2050 m. We cross all of the Plose’s alpine meadows heading to the peak of Sas da Putia. A steep pathway takes us to high saddle of Putia and in short time we reach Rifugio/hut Genova (2297 m). (6 hours)

Day 3 - From Rifugio/hut Genova we cross over to the opposite side descending to Longiarù valley, in a short time we get to Juel pass after which we descend to Pedraces in Badia valley. After a little break we continue to the enchanting sanctuary Sas dl Crusc (2045 m) where we’ll overnight in the adjacent Ospizio/hospice (8 hours, shortened to 6 if you want to use cable-ways).

Day 4 - Today we hike along the base perimeter of the imposing rock faces of Fanis and Counturines to the little village of S. Cassiano and further to begin a long but moderately steep hike to Lagazuoi peak and rifugio/hut where we’ll stay overnight.(2762 m). (8 hours, shortened to 4 if you want to use cable-ways).

Day 5 - We get up REALLY early to take some awesome pictures of the truly unforgettable “bird-eye” view of the Dolomites at dawn. After breakfast we start our descent crossing the internal portion of Tofane’s group. We’ll encounter rests of WW1 Austrian and Italian trenches and we’ll be hiking all along the base perimeter of the great rock face of Tofana di Rozes to head down to Cortina. After a visit to this world-famous VIPs town we head back to Bolzano by bus and train (5 hours, shortened to 3 if you want to use cable-ways/public transportation). If you would like to end your tour in Cortina, your mountain guide can arrange for your luggage to be taken from your hotel in Bolzano to your new hotel in Cortina at an extra cost of € 150. In the evening we’ll enjoy a farewell dinner at Hopfen, one of the historical restaurants in Bolzano which has home-baked bread and its own micro-brewery. Awesome!
