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!

(CDTT) Central Dolomites Trekking Tour (6 days hut to hut)

This trek is a complete crossing of the central Dolomites, it’s not particularly difficult but it requires you to have a good level of physical fitness and training. Hiking pathways and crossing through mountain passes you’ll be totally surrounded by unforgettable views and live every day in touch with local traditions while staying in pictoresque alpine huts/rifugios. This is a 6 days hike that could take one day more or one less following your desire for a softer vs. extreme adventure.

Day 1
Arriving in Bolzano you’ll be welcomed by your mountain guide who will accompany you to your chosen hotel. Sipping a cup of marvellous Italian espresso we’ll have a briefing to detail every single day of your chosen program. http://www.hotelhanny.it/en/index.html

Day 2
Leaving from your hotel we stroll through the city centre to take the bus to Obereggen (half hour trip). From here we go up to Rifugio/hut Torre di Pisa (2671 m) where we’ll stay overnight. It takes a 3 hours trek or 1h45’ with cableways/gondolas to reach the hut. You can choose…

Day 3
10 m from the hut we cross the top of the crest entering the big basin of Gruppo del Latemar. We head north in order to catch the pathway that follows the basin’s perimeter and then head down to Passo Costalunga. From here we’ll ascend on the opposite side to Rifugio/hut Roda di Vael (2280 m) in Catinaccio/Rosengarten (7 h).

Day 4
We head straight up to the steep Passo delle Zigolade (2579 m) and descend on the opposite side where we hike along the base of the unique rock face of Catinaccio/Rosengarten until we reach Rifugio/hut Vajolet. After visiting this historical rifugio/hut we first head up to Passo Principe (2599 m) and next -close by- to Passo d’Antermoja (2770 m) (7 h)

Day 5
Today we abandon the group of Catinaccio to follow the perimeter of the group of Sassolungo on the panoramic pathway Friedrich August Weg to reach Passo Sella (2813 m). We overnight at rifugio/hut Valentini or rifugio Friedrich August. (5 h)

Day 6
We cross the wide Passo Sella and enter one of the most impressing valleys in the Dolomites Val Lasties. We hike it all to have access to the great plateau of gruppo del Sella – all across and up to its highest peak Piz Boè (3152 m) where we find la Capanna/hut Fassa where we’ll be spending our last night. (6 h)

Day 7
We get up REALLY early to take some awesome pictures of the truly unforgettable “bird-eye” view of the Dolomites at dawn. Later we start our descent towards Forcella Pordoi and across it to Passo Pordoi (2 h). From here a bus ride takes us back to Bolzano and your hotel. In the evening we’ll enjoy a farewell dinner at Hopfen, one of the historical restaurant in Bolzano which has home-baked bread and its own micro-brewery. Awesome!
