The trip was brilliant - non-stop action from morning til night with not one drop of rain. The hotel was excellent - fantastic breakfasts, picnic lunches and four course evening meals - even though it was opposite the church whose bells struck EVERY quarter, half and full hour ALL THROUGH THE NIGHT! We managed to drag ourselves to the wellness centre - pool, steam room, sauna, herbal shower - 3 of the nights in preference to having a pre-dinner beer in the bar.

What did you think of your group leader?
The guide was very knowledgeable (I wasn't keen on his sense of humour) and went beyond the call of duty in looking after us. However, we're even thinking of doing the snow shoe trip in October with the same guide. The staff were fantastic.

Do you have any advice for potential travellers?
The walking was strenuous (I haven't done much exercise this year so did suffer from stiff legs by day 2) which is what we wanted and the Antipodean mountain goats that we had as company were more than satisfied.
Is there anything else you would like to add?
Having done 'Explore' trips in the past, Exodus absolutely scores higher.

Excellent range of walks in a short period of time gives a taster for more and we are likely to return to the Dolomites. Good hotel accommodation with excellent variety of food and facilities.

What was the most inspirational moment of your trip?
Monte Piano and Tre Cime, good walking with spectacular views.
What did you think of your group leader?
Karl was friendly and knowledgeable of the area. He kept the group well informed and was flexible with the itinerary following the flight delay which resulted in a enjoyable first day.
Do you have any advice for potential travellers?
Take your walking polls and don’t forget your bathing costume for the hotel swimming pool, Jacuzzi etc.

The hotel situation meant that this was not a holiday for anyone who values sleep. On a square with a nearby church the bells of which sounded evey quarter hour night and day, I was desperate for a decent night sleep by the time I arrived home. Food well over rated. Also the Wellness centre - a major attraction for me was not in fact available when we were there.

What was the most inspirational moment of your trip?
Getting home to my own bed! generally the whole trip felt a bit tame but I was exhausted through lack of sleep..
What did you think of your group leader?
OK seemed to know the local area well.
Do you have any advice for potential travellers?
Do not go to this hotel/ pack ear plugs
Is there anything else you would like to add?
I have been on quite a few Exodus trips and to date this has been the most disappointing

awesome scenery , fantastic weather , everything went according to plan and exodus did what it said on the tin ... all I had to do was relax , walk and soak up the scenery .. which I did !Then there was the beatiful quirky spa and pool ... just hit the spot after a long days walk.

What was the most inspirational moment of your trip?
Can't pick one moment ... so many amazing views . I shall never forget the beautiful lush wild flower meadows, the dazzling bright minature alpine flowers seemingly growing out of bare rock . The feeling of freedom , after walking up to just below the peaks ,and surveying all below me .
I didnt want to leave .
What did you think of your group leader?
What a liitle gem was Karl Mather ! A true Gent who oozed enthusiasm and love for the region . He clearly knew the paths like the back of his hand and he looked after us like a shepherd on the hills . He had taken the time to learn about local history and culture and it was very interesting to learn aout the Italian and Austrian fight for the peaks and to see the remains of fortresses and trenches.
He told some strange but true local legends and myths which kept him amused and us bemused !
Do you have any advice for potential travellers?
The trip was accurately described and exodus provided good support and communication before , during and after the trip . Pack your swimming costume and try the sauna etc at the lovely quirky hotel .Don't be put off by the Rest day ... make the most of it and hire a bicycle and ride around villebasse or the adjacent valley ... so beautiful . take your ear plugs if you are a light sleeper... those chuch bells are loud if you are facing the square.
Is there anything else you would like to add?
thank you Exodus I will travel with you again. Already planning to return to the area on your snow shoe trip

What was the most inspirational moment of your trip?
Getting lost while mountain biking on the day off my walking holiday. I somehow ended up on the walking track and struggled to ride up (actually push the bike up two thirds of the way to the top of Putzalm. It started to rain soon after I reached the top and I had a white knuckle ride down the wet mountain track as I nearly flipped the bike over a couple of times due to the steepness of the descent.
I am more of a biking holiday type, but I still enjoyed my walking holiday.
What did you think of your group leader?
Terrible taste in music, we all had to listen to the Macdonalds/Pizza hut/KFC song everyday on our way to and back from the walks in the Exodus van. For my trip mates having withdrawal symptons (especially IAN) the link to the song is below... enjoy

Do you have any advice for potential travellers?
- Put plenty of sunscreen, especially on your lips. The sun is deceptive strong in the cool mountain air.
Is there anything else you would like to add?
As this was my first "Solo" holiday I did not know and I was not told I would be sharing a room. Thankfully my room mate was a top bloke. I was apprehensive as I snore and although he is a light sleeper he did not even once complain about it.
