Whether you’re here for high-altitude hiking, scenic cycling routes, or sampling world-class food and wine, there’s something for everyone.

Walking holidays in the Dolomites
A walking holiday in the Dolomites is all about the views. Catch the first light at sunrise or hike into the golden glow of sunset when the jagged mountain peaks take on a breathtaking pinkish hue, a phenomenon known as enrosadira.
Thanks to the region’s extensive lift network, accessing high-altitude trails is effortless. Challenge yourself with a hike up Piz Boè from Corvara, or take it easy with scenic valley walks in Val Gardena while staying in Selva. There are endless routes for all levels, from relaxed rambles to challenging summit treks.
Things to Do in the Dolomites
Holidays to the Dolomites are unlike anywhere else, combining striking mountain scenery with rich history and culture. Towering peaks, medieval castles dating back to the 1300s, and vibrant alpine villages create a landscape packed with discoveries.
Public transport and mountain lifts make getting around easy, allowing you to explore at your own pace. Spend a day exploring the many cycling trails in Kronpltaz, visit traditional markets in Ortisei, or experience the lively Ladin folk festival in Canazei with its music, dance, and colourful costumes.
Activities in the Dolomites
Hiking and walking are at the heart of any Dolomites holiday, with trails for all levels offering unforgettable views. Whether you prefer leisurely valley strolls or challenging summit hikes, there’s a perfect route for you. Cycling is just as popular, with rugged mountain trails for experienced riders and scenic road routes for those wanting to take in the landscape at a gentler pace. E-bikes are widely available, making it easier than ever to explore.
For an adrenaline rush, tackle world-class via ferrata routes, soar over the mountains paragliding, or cool off with an exhilarating rafting adventure on a hot summer day. If you prefer a more relaxed approach, you can enjoy a round of golf on scenic alpine courses or unwind in a luxury thermal spa, soaking up the mountain air while you relax.
Food & Drink in the Dolomites
A holiday in the Dolomites is a treat for food lovers. This region has more Michelin-starred restaurants than anywhere else in Italy, but you don’t need a fine-dining reservation to experience incredible flavours.
Scattered across the mountains, rifugi (mountain huts) serve up hearty local dishes, perfect for a lunch stop after spending a morning out on the walking trails. Try speck, a smoky, flavour-packed cured ham, or canederli – handmade dumplings served in a rich, creamy cheese sauce. And don’t leave without sampling a slice of traditional apple strudel, best enjoyed with a mountain view.
Family Holidays in the Dolomites
The Dolomites are ideal for an active family holiday. There are plenty of accessible walking trails for kids and teens, and many resorts offer adventure programmes packed with fun activities.
When they’ve had their fill of mountain adventures, cool off with a swim, hop on a cable car for a scenic ride, or enjoy a well-earned break at a cosy mountain hut. Whether it’s hiking, biking, or just soaking in the spectacular views, there’s no better place to create unforgettable family memories.
