Hiking in the Dolomites: 8 days with panoramic tours and high mountain trails
The Dolomites in Northern Italy offer mountains that look like backdrops: bright limestone towers, green high valleys, and trails winding between pastures and mountain passes.
With flights and efficient transport, you quickly enter one of Europe's most iconic hiking areas.
This organized hiking tour is suitable for those who want to experience a lot but still have one fixed base. You stay in Kiens and take day trips to famous highlights like Pragser Wildsee, Drei Zinnen, and the Fanes area.
The week is organized with several group hiking days and a free day for recovery. If you wish to skip one of the hiking days, there are good opportunities for your own activities.
Tour operator: Rolfs Reiser
Rolfs Reiser organizes hiking in the Dolomites with flights, a fixed base, and group tours in varied terrain.
