The Dolomiti Trail is a self-guided trail. This means you'll be hiking the route entirely on your own. We ensure you have everything you need to make the journey a success. Everything is taken care of for you, so you don’t have to think about anything. All you need to do is hike and enjoy.

• Our experienced rangers will give you a comprehensive briefing on the first day.
• Then you'll start on the achievable and balanced route we've mapped out for you, all on your own.
• In our handy trail app, you'll find an overview of all the routes and important info for each day. This should enable you to hike the route completely independently.
• We've also arranged your nights in the huts or on campsites along the trail.
• Of course, the rangers are available to help you whenever needed. You can contact them with questions throughout the entire trip.

We provide unique sleeping arrangements. For the duration of the trip, you'll sleep in charming cabins along the trail. One night you'll stay at a campsite. We'll provide you with a tent, sleeping bag, and sleeping pad. Sanitary facilities are available at each sleeping location.

• 1 night in a cozy little hotel by the lake, including breakfast and dinner
• 2 nights in cabins along the trail, including breakfast and dinner (you need to bring your own liner)
• 1 night in a tent at a campsite along the trail (tent, sleeping bag, and sleeping pad included)

In the mountain huts, you'll sleep in dorms or mattress rooms. These are shared rooms with multiple (bunk) beds or mattresses. So, you'll be sleeping alongside other hikers. This is unique and typical of life in the mountain hut. Here, you can truly experience the mountains!

It's mandatory to bring your own sleeping bag liner. Be sure to also bring earplugs and/or an eye mask to ensure a peaceful night in the hut.

During the hike, you won’t come across many restaurants or supermarkets. However, you'll regularly pass by a hut where you can grab something to eat or drink. At the huts where you'll be staying overnight, breakfast and dinner are included. On the night you camp in a tent, we'll provide a freeze-dried "just add hot water" meal for both dinner and breakfast.

We recommend bringing enough food for the daytime. Make sure to pack plenty of snacks like nuts and dried fruit to keep your energy levels up. You can also purchase a food pack from us for €65. This food pack includes a cooking set (cooking pot, gas burner, and gas canister) and the right amount of freeze-dried meals (mainly for lunch). Don't forget to bring a lighter and reusable cutlery or a long spoon.

Additionally, make sure to bring your own water bottles. Ensure you can carry at least 2 liters of water. You can refill your water bottles at the huts.

You will receive a packing list well in advance with an overview of all the necessary gear.

The essentials are good hiking shoes that protect your ankles (category A-B/B), a backpack (about 50 – 70l), a sleeping bag liner, and protective (rain) clothing.

• Choose shoes that you feel comfortable enough in for a long trek.
• Prepare for changing weather patterns. Good protective rain gear is an absolute must, and you shouldn't forget a few warm clothing items either. It can get chilly, especially in the evenings.
• It's mandatory to bring your own sleeping bag liner to the huts. You can optionally rent a sleeping bag liner from us for €12.00 per person.

You can also optionally rent hiking poles from us for €12.00 per person. Hiking poles are highly recommended for multi-day trips in the mountains to relieve your joints and support your body.

You will sleep 1 night in a tent at a campsite along the route. We provide you with a tent, a sleeping bag, and a sleeping pad (included in the price).

You will receive a packing list in advance that outlines all the necessary gear.

The food pack is highly recommended if you want to keep it low budget and ensure that your meals provide you with all the necessary nutrients during an intense hike. You'll find tasty, varied, and nutritious meals (mainly lunch since breakfast and dinner are provided in the huts). The quantity of meals is perfectly tailored to what you need throughout the day.

Your cooking kit (including a cooking pot, gas burner, and gas canister) is also included. Just bring your own lighter and reusable cutlery or a long spoon.

There is both a vegetarian and a non-vegetarian option available.

Unfortunately, dogs are not allowed in the huts where you will be staying. Combined with the intensity of the trail, this makes it impossible to bring your dog along.

The planet offers us so much beauty to admire, but if we want to continue enjoying it in the future, we need to protect it today. That's why we make extra efforts to reduce the impact of our trips, and you can contribute reliably to a climate project by Greentripper in the booking form, which balances the CO2 emissions of your transport. By contributing to their certified project “Wildlife Cambodia,” you help protect beautiful forests and the wildlife within them, support local communities, and reduce the CO2 emissions of your transport. If you choose to contribute to offsetting your transport emissions, Travelbase will also make an additional contribution to offset the emissions on-site. After your trip, you'll receive an official carbon credit certificate.

During the week, you'll hike just under 80 km. The stages range from 10 to 19 km, with one longer day of 22 km. The days are well distributed and balanced, providing a nice mix between the number of kilometers covered and the elevation gained. If you're looking for an extra challenge, you can book an additional night at the end of the week and add another 19 km to go admire the Tre Cime Di Lavaredo.

You can park your car close to the hotel. The number of free parking spaces in the area is very limited. There is usually plenty of space in the paid parking lots nearby. You'll be paying around 14 euros per day to leave your car there. On the days you stay at the hotel, you can park for free in the hotel's parking lot.

You can arrive whenever you want. The guides will be ready to welcome you with all the practical information and a briefing for the route starting around 8 AM. We recommend arriving as early as possible so you can hike the 2 suggested trails and fully enjoy the first day.

Yes, an experienced team of English-speaking rangers is on-site to provide support. Since this is a self-guided trail, they won't walk with you. However, they are available by phone for assistance. On the first day, you'll also receive all the briefings, explanations, and materials from our rangers.
