What people love about The Dolomites Tours
- Classic Dolomites - Premium Adventure
This was an excellent holiday. Our tour guide was very knowledgeable and assessed the ability of our group well. We had excellent weather and we felt we had achieved quite a few challenging walks by the end of the week. The hotel was good and we had an upgrade. The set menu food was disappointing with a lot of heavy carbohydrates eg cheese dumplings, ravioli, etc. The three or four of us with a vegetarian diet struggled but they did try. Our group was very sociable and we had a fun week. Alex, our guide, gave a few options for the free day. He also was very informative on walking skills especially on the rough terrain.
- Classic Dolomites - Premium Adventure
Karl Mather is an excellent guide! Took the time to really explain the history behind the hikes in each location. We always felt safe and weren't rushed during the day. Would definitely do another Exodus trip!
- Classic Dolomites - Premium Adventure
Loved every moment! The hikes, guide, hotel, and food all exceeded my expectations. Also appreciated how comfortable the buses were as there were some long transfers and shuttles.
Travel The Dolomites your way
The Dolomites reveal their best sides when you can settle into a comfortable hotel and explore from there, rather than changing lodging every night. Our travelers consistently rate the Tre Cime di Lavaredo circuit as their standout day - you'll walk completely around these massive peaks, spotting old WWI bunkers and taking in mountain panoramas that stretch out in every direction. The Lake Braies trail covers 13km through meadows dotted with wildflowers and pine forests before opening up to those crystal-clear alpine waters that perfectly mirror the surrounding peaks. For a proper high-altitude experience, climbing Strudelkopf takes you up to 2,307m where you can see clear into Austria on good days - and yes, our guides know exactly which mountain hut serves the best apple strudel for your descent. The paths through Ampezzo Natural Park give you options: tackle some steeper sections or stick to gentler trails, with plenty of nice spots along the Boite River to stop for lunch. Our customers really value having that free day mid-week - some relax at their hotel's spa while others hop over to Bolzano to check out the fascinating Ice Man museum.

If you're looking at winter options, Exodus stands out with their snowshoeing trips, particularly the one based at Hotel Adler. Our customers who've stayed there love coming back to the spa after a day in the snow, and the food gets lots of praise too. Both Explore and Exodus guides earn high marks from our travelers for knowing the trails inside out and adapting the pace to suit different hiking abilities.Intrepid Travel puts together solid itineraries at good prices, though some of our travelers have mentioned they'd like more actual hiking time built into their Dolomites program. That said, their small group approach works well for getting to know fellow travelers and moving efficiently between locations.The guides from all three companies really understand the region's geology, flora and local culture - they're quick to point out things you might miss on your own, from rare Alpine flowers to the best spots for traditional mountain cuisine and regional wines.

"Great value for money. Good tour guide. Excellent travel company. Some days the hiking was a bit light. Would have given it 5 stars if the hiking was every day. Also tourradar/intrepid could also consider providing a higher cost tour where we stay at different refuges every day. This will reduce the transportation constraints and time and increase the Dolomites amazing experience.

"The tour enabled us to see the amazing beauty of the Dolomites. There was a good balance between dramatic scenery and visits to historic towns. Our tour guide, Matilda, was lovely, very knowledgeable, helpful and approachable. Our driver was very considerate and careful...we were treated to heavy snowfall in the mountains! Hotels were very good. Would very much recommend the tour. As a solo traveler it was a great way to see the area.

Private / Personalized
13 tours in The DolomitesIf you want more control over your schedule, our private tours really deliver in the Dolomites. The Innsbruck-Verona cycling route comes with a handy route app that helps you navigate while keeping your independence - our cyclists particularly like this balance. Many travelers choose the hiking focus around Cortina, using private transfers to reach trailheads like Passo Tre Croci. You can modify daily routes based on how you feel; maybe do the full Lake Sorapis circuit one day or take it easier with shorter walks near the Averau refuge. What makes these tours work so well is the freedom to spend time where you want, whether that's getting those perfect photos of Tre Cime peaks, exploring more of Bolzano's old town or just taking an extra coffee break.
Top The Dolomites travel itineraries to fit your plans
The week-long Dolomites tours blend serious hiking with comfortable lodging, typically starting from Cortina d'Ampezzo. One popular route follows wartime paths near the Tofano peaks where you'll discover old bunkers and mountain shelters - real pieces of history right on the trail. Our customers consistently note how well the guides manage safety, though they remind newcomers to prepare for some demanding days that can stretch up to 25km. For cyclists, there's a solid 7-day option from Trento that takes on famous mountain passes. The highlight is the Sella Ronda loop - a proper mountain challenge connecting the Gardena, Campolongo, Pordoi and also Sella passes. You're looking at 66km of riding with about 2000m climbing - it's the real deal for serious riders. The Tre Cime di Lavaredo area offers varied hiking that our travelers really like. You can mix tough climbs with easier valley walks, adjusting each day's difficulty as you go. The routes pass clear mountain lakes like Sorapis and Misurina, with some sections equipped with cables and rails for safety. You'll stay in both valley hotels and mountain refuges - our customers mention these can be quite basic, with shared dorms and sometimes unpredictable hot water, but they're genuine mountain experiences.

Demographics
The Dolomites hiking tours around Dobbiaco and Cortina d'Ampezzo work really well for people traveling on their own. There's this lovely walk from Lake Braies that winds through valleys full of wildflowers up to Putzalm hut - it's where our solo guests naturally connect during coffee breaks. You can choose your daily challenge level; join others for the full Tre Cime circuit or take it easier with walks around Lake Misurina. What our single travelers mention most often is how much they enjoy staying at one hotel throughout, getting to know both the local hosts and other guests while sharing traditional Tyrolean dinners.The multi-sport tours hit exactly what young adults want in the mountains. From Bolzano, you'll cycle about 60km daily through wine country and along the Etsch river valley - pushing up mountain passes then cruising down to cool off with a swim in the lakes. A lot of our younger travelers mix it up by adding via ferrata climbing between hiking days. The Cortina tours nail that balance of physical challenge and social time, with treks up to mountain huts where you'll share local food, drinks and also stories with new friends from your group.The 4-day tours from Milan really suit our senior travelers, combining easy travel with great mountain views. A modern minibus means you can reach impressive viewpoints without difficult hiking - something our older guests consistently praise. The route takes you through Verona's historic center, then winds into the Dolomites with stops at Lake Misurina, Cortina d'Ampezzo and also the medieval towns of Merano and Bolzano. Our guides have picked out excellent local restaurants and know exactly when to schedule free time. Our senior travelers often tell us they love how the tour balances group activities with time to explore independently.

Best time to visit The Dolomites
- Spring 2025
As snow melts and flowers start popping up, spring opens possibilities for cycling and early hiking. The bike path from Merano to Lake Garda follows old wine roads past orchards in bloom and authentic South Tyrolean villages. Our cyclists especially like riding through Val Pusteria - it's mostly downhill and you get amazing views of snow-topped peaks perfect for photos. If walking's more your style, the trails around Dobbiaco become accessible bit by bit as spring moves along, starting with lower routes like the Lake Braies loop and valleys dotted with Alpine blooms.
- Summer 2025
Summer means full access to high trails and our most diverse hiking options. From Dobbiaco, you can tackle different terrain each day - maybe climbing through meadows to reach Putzalm hut, then walking the ridge between Italy and Austria on Mount Elmo the next. Our guides are great at adjusting daily routes based on weather and how the group's feeling. If you prefer going solo, self-guided trips come with detailed route notes so you can move at your own speed. Multi-day tours include rest days for cycling, checking out Bolzano's archaeological museum or exploring WWI trenches and bunkers on Monte Piano.

- Fall / Autumn 2025
Fall brings fewer crowds, golden larches and tours that mix hiking with local culture. The Classic Dolomites routes from Villabassa offer solid value - you'll walk through colorful forests and visit traditional mountain huts. Our guides pick the perfect time to do the Tre Cime di Lavaredo circuit for the best light on those limestone peaks. Weather can change quickly, but that's what makes autumn interesting - you might start in sunshine and end up watching clouds dance around the mountains. You'll also dig into regional food, trying local wines and traditional Tyrolean cooking. Travelers consistently tell us good things about Explore's guided walks through the Dolomites - just keep in mind you'll need decent fitness to fully enjoy the routes and daily distances. Their guides have this knack for sharing local knowledge that really adds depth to the walking experience.
