The south of Italy may be known for sun-kissed beaches and long stretches of attractive coastline, but the north is famous for its vast great outdoors. Trekkers and mountaineers are particularly drawn to the Dolomites mountain range, which are part of the Alps in the northeast of the country. In a week or more you can experience these peaks up close and personal on a trek through some of the most incredible alpine scenery in the nation.
On this seven day trek, you'll encounter some of the world's most beautiful alpine scenery, including three of the most famous peaks in the Dolomites: the Tre Cime di Lavaredo. Hike between mountain huts high in the beautiful Northern Dolomites, traverse sheer rock walls using the area's famous via ferrati, and enjoy authentic Italian cuisine in cozy refugi lodges along the route.
Traverse the northern Dolomites starting at the Tre Cime di Lavaredo, three of the range's most famous peaks, and make your way to the Grupo Latemar near Bolzano. You'll hike through a number of national parks, crossing desert rocklands, forests, and green pastures as you travel the cultural and historic border between Europe's southern Latin and northern Germanic regions.
