A perfect trekking tour for those who love altitude differences and mountain walks and want to explore the Dolomites: they are among the most famous mountains in the world, but together we will walk along their most authentic trails, often far from the most crowded places, to experience breathtaking views and total immersion in nature. Immerse yourself in the Belluno and Trentino Dolomites, based on the shores of the picturesque Lake Alleghe in a comfortable hotel with spa and half board. It will be an unforgettable experience among vast landscapes, exciting treks, and new experiences, a journey that combines the beauty of these legendary mountains with the desire to explore them in a sustainable way, far from overtourism.
We look forward to seeing you in Alleghe for a group vacation with a historic Jonas guide to discover the Lagazuoi Tunnel, the Croda da Lago Ring , and the ascent to Monte Mulaz. The most special moment? Sleeping in a mountain hut and waking up at dawn on Cima Coldai, with the sun illuminating the imposing walls of Monte Civetta.
The trip is structured at a smart pace, designed to allow you to enjoy each excursion with energy and pleasure. The basic formula includes 5 days, from Sunday to Thursday, a concentration of iconic treks between Civetta and Lagazuoi. For those who want to truly immerse themselves in the soul of the Dolomites, it is possible to add the following days at an unmissable price, transforming the experience into a full 8-day week in the Dolomites. This is the option we recommend: it allows you to alternate intense days with moments of recovery, experience more environments, and enjoy the mountains without rushing, with a perfect balance between exertion, views, and relaxation.
Five days are a powerful taste. Eight days are the true Dolomite experience.
WHERE ARE WE GOING?
Program
Sunday
Whether you have chosen the short 4-night package or the full 8-day package in the Dolomites, our journey begins in one of the most charming villages in the Dolomites. Welcome to Alleghe, the gateway to the Belluno Dolomites. Easily accessible, it is the ideal starting point for a trekking holiday. We settle into our hotel, which has a wellness area and an outdoor terrace with a bar. In the afternoon, we meet our guide, who will accompany us over the next few days as we discover the Dolomites. It will also be the perfect time to get to know the rest of the group, perhaps over an aperitif together or a walk through the center of Alleghe. The vacation has officially begun!
Monday
Lagazuoi: between history and endless views
After breakfast,transfer to Passo Falzarego and trekking excursion on the Lagazuoi Group, in the heart of the Dolomites. Climb along the path to the historic Lagazuoi Tunnel, dug during the Great War. The tunnel ends upstream near the Lagazuoi secondary peak, from where we can already see the Lagazuoi Refuge. The terrace is famous for its incredible view of the Dolomite peaks, so much so that it is mentioned among the most spectacular viewpoints by the most prestigious mountain and tourism magazines. Before enjoying lunch, we recommend a short walk to the top of Lagazuoi. For the return trip, we can choose to walk down with our guide or take the panoramic cable car. Return to the hotel for some relaxation, then dinner with a barbecue in the woods.
Tuesday
Under the Civetta and night in a mountain hut at Cima Coldai
Trekking on the northern side of the Civetta Group. Cable car ride from Alleghe to Piani di Pezzè and scenic walk to Col dei Baldi with a 360° view of Monte Pelmo. After a short break, we continue to the Coldai mountain hut, where we will arrive around lunchtime. In the afternoon, for those who wish, it is possible to climb Cima Coldai: from the summit you can enjoy a privileged view. For everyone else, relaxation in the refuge. It is here thatthe WOW experience of this tour awaits us: a night in a refuge! A typical dinner and an incredible view will make this group holiday unforgettable, followed by an overnight stay in one of the most beautiful refuges in the Dolomites.
Wednesday
Crossing Civetta
Waking up at Rifugio Coldai will be an unforgettable experience! We begin our crossing of Civetta, passing at the foot of the "wall of walls," 5 km wide and up to 1,200 meters high. Today's hike takes us near Lago Coldai, a beautiful alpine lake. We arrive near Forcella Col Reàn and begin the steep climb to the top of the hill itself: from here, the view overlooking Lake Alleghe is breathtaking! A short break at Rifugio Tissi and we continue our traverse of this Dolomite massif. The trail now becomes flatter. Stop for lunch. Then we descend along an easy mule track to Capanna Trieste and return to Alleghe with transfer included in the package.
Thursday
day off
We say goodbye to those returning home after this intense first part of the week. Those who are continuing the adventure today deserve a day off! As a suggestion, we recommend a walk to Lake Alleghe, an easy circular route that can be combined with a visit to the Serrai di Sottoguda, the spectacular Dolomite canyon. For the more active: the Marmolada, Queen of the Dolomites. From Malga Ciapela, three cable cars take you up to Punta Rocca, opposite Punta Penia, the highest peak in the Dolomites. Alternatively, from Arabba you can reach the Pordoi Pass and take the cable car up to Sass Pordoi, a natural balcony overlooking the Sella Group, with the option of hiking to Piz Boè.
Friday (optional)
Croda da Lago loop trail
After breakfast, transfer by car to Passo Giau for a splendid loop hike around Croda da Lago, in the heart of the Dolomites, which allows us to cross a series of very different environments. From the initial fir forest, we cross the lunar landscapes of Val de Formin: here, our gaze wanders upwards, towards the magnificent peaks of Croda and the rocky outcrops below, where we often see agile chamois scampering about. We pass through the grasslands of Mondeval, a Mesolithic archaeological site, climb up to Forcella Ambrizzola and descend to Lake Fedèra and the Palmieri Refuge, a stopon Alta Via n.1, the most famous trekking route in the Dolomites. From the refuge, we set off again for the initial fir forest and complete the circular route. Return to the hotel for some relaxation and dinner together.
Saturday (optional)
Pale di San Martino: grand finale
The last stage of our week in the Dolomites takes us to the heart of the Pale di San Martino, within the Paneveggio Natural Park, one of the most elegant and luminous settings in the Dolomites. From the splendid Val Venegia, we begin our hike through pastures, woods, and panoramic views. The trail climbs gently, alternating between green stretches and hairpin bends among rocks and gravel, until it reaches the Volpi al Mulaz mountain hut. For those who wish, there is the option of climbing to the nearby peak of Mulaz, recognizable by its characteristic bell. After a well-deserved lunch break, we return to the cars along the same route, with one of the most iconic landscapes of the Dolomites in our eyes. Relax at the hotel and enjoy a final dinner to celebrate this fantastic Dolomite vacation together!
Sunday (optional)
The last day of our trekking tour has arrived: an intense week among the peaks of Lagazuoi, the majesty of Civetta, and the luminous elegance of Pale di San Martino. We walked through history and nature, crossed very different environments, slept in mountain huts, shared views, fatigue, and smiles. We chose to travel together, sharing transportation and reducing our environmental impact: a vacation that combines discovery, relationships, and care for the mountains that host us. Because the Dolomites are to be experienced, but above all, respected. Some chose to participate for the entire week, while others joined us for only part of the trip: whatever your choice, thank you for sharing the journey with us!
