Hut to hut walking and yoga in the Dolomites

 28 June - 4 July 2024

 

MODERATE

A 7 day walking trip in the beautiful Italian Dolomites, based predominantly around the town of Cortina D'Ampezzo.   We will be spending the evenings in comfortable mountain huts and hotels and taking in a number of the classic walks in the area including the iconic Tre Cime, walking around Croda del Lago and also seeing the stunningly coloured lac de Sorapis.  Each day will consist a of at least one yoga session and a walk of between 8 - 10 miles.  There is the opportunity for 2 days in Venice at the end of the trip for those who wish to extend their visit.

Itinerary

  • Arrive at Venice Marco Polo airport and check into the Hilton hotel close to Venice airport. I will meet you at the airport and take you to the hotel. We will meet for dinner in the evening.

  • Drive to Cortina D’Ampezzo and check into hotel. We will meet for dinner in the Bel de Seppa restaurant, just across the road from the hotel

  • Walk to Nuvolau (2574m), the oldest Refugio in the Dolomites. Stay in the hut for the night

  • After morning yoga walk to Refugio Lagazuoi. The walk should take about 4-5 hours and has a steep climb near the end of the walk to reach the top of Lagazuoi. Night in Refugio Lagazuoi

  • The day is a little longer than the previous day and includes a stiff climb for about an hour after about 2 hours. Stay in Refugio

  • This is about an 11 mile walk through the Dolomite National park. The route initially descends for 4 miles through the valley to the Fanes waterfall before we climb around 300m over the wooded pass under Col Rosa. Once over the pass we have a further 5 miles descent into Cortina and back to the Columbia Hotel. Evening yoga (depending on how everyone feels)

  • Either for return flight home or to take in a couple of nights in Venice.
