The Dolomites Walking & Hiking Tour
We had an amazing time. Our guide, Marta, was wonderful and planned our hikes perfectly to avoid the rain.
Hiking in the Dolomites
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.

July and August draw the largest crowds with temperatures ranging from 20-25°C perfect for trails like the Tre Cime di Lavaredo circuit and Val di Fassa.

The area near Cortina d'Ampezzo also offers excellent paths with views of limestone peaks.

Venice serves as the main entry point to the Dolomites with good connections to hiking bases like Cortina d'Ampezzo Dobbiaco and San Cassiano.
