Over your stay, you will be based out of two locations ideally situated by world-class hiking, food and libations, and, of course, spectacular views!

Explore the remnants of WWI frontlines where both Italian and Austro-Hungarian forces lived out of caves and blasted landmines. Today, you can enjoy a luxurious meal with specialty beer and cheese in one of these authentic bunkers and revel in the historical awe of the Dolomites. Refresh your spirit and your stomachs at any of the many rifugios – popular Dolomitic huts – that serve hikers and villagers alike with down-to-earth Italian Alpine cuisine. At the end of each day, fall asleep in premium accommodations full from dinner at Michelin starred, locally-authentic restaurants. On the Dolomiti Dreaming Hiking Adventure, you will find yourself a fan for life of this natural paradise and discover new facets of yourself along the way.
