This trip was stunning and up there with one of the best I have done with Exodus. You can chose between grade 3 and grade 5 walks every day, which gives you the freedom to decide how challenging your days are. I opted for grade 5 every day and chose to enjoy my free day at thr QC Terme Dolomiti spa which was a welcomed relax between the walks. The weather was stunning during the days and walks varied, every walk was breath taking and offered something different, even though I don’t think you could ever get bored of the scenary. Campitello di fassa was a lovely town to be based in, it has everything you needed without feeling too big or busy.

Dolomites – Winter & Hiking Holidays
Located in the northern part of Italy, the Dolomites are among the most striking mountain ranges in Europe. They are tinted in weathered shades of rose, yellow and grey, and rise up in steep spires and soaring pinnacles, once coral beds forced up from the sea floor over 60 million years ago.
Their towering walls have attracted rock climbers since the early 20th century and the awe-inspiring landscapes mean Dolomites trips are a dream for walkers, with numerous routes that explore the lower hills and valleys. This is an excellent location to see remarkable rock formations, verdant valleys, emerald-green lakes and glorious glaciers. At certain times of the year there are wild flowers in abundance, and the quaint villages and hamlets you come to along the way offer an insight into life in this mountainous region. In winter, the area is transformed with a blanket of crisp snow, perfect for exploring on snowshoes or by cross-country skiing. Our Cross-Country Skiing in Dobbiaco trip is great for beginners as well as advanced skiers with qualified instructors to support you through the pre-cut tracks, as we explore the wonderland of the Dolomites under snow.
During the First World War, the line between the Italian and Austro-Hungarian forces ran through the Dolomites and many high-level paths visited on our various walks show this fascinating history in all too real detail. On some Dolomites tours, we visit these open-air museums and marvel at their views of the peaks.

Cheryl Davis Classic Dolomites – Premium AdventureThe accommodations at the Adler were better than expected. The room was lovely and the staff (especially Jesus) were very friendly and efficient.
The hiking agenda had to be adjusted due to deteriorating weather conditions but it did not take away from the experience for me. Such a beautiful place!
