Curator’s statement

The Dolomites is one of the most underrated and special destinations I've been to in recent years- it offers a great mix of culture, food & wine, and the great outdoors. The Dolomites are also great for skiing in the winter, but summer is my chosen season because the colors are so vivid at that time of year- the towns are quiet and peaceful and the hiking trails are just screaming for you to walk them. Even though this region is technically part of Italy, it has it's own distinct mountain culture (Sud-Tirolese)- for most people, Italian is really their second language. But this just makes for an incredible cross cultural experience that mixes really well if you're planning to make the Dolomites a stop on a longer European or Italian itinerary. I can't wait for you to explore it!

Day 1: Arrival into the Dolomites

People cheering up with glasses of wine.

Generally, the drive from Venice or Milan is a 3 hour drive without stopping. However, if you enjoy wine - I highly recommend a stop for lunch on the way - and I know just the place to buy all the best Italian wines (think: Gaja) at inexpensive prices for you to bring with you to the mountains. Set up at your hotel, and enjoy the afternoon at the spa. Tomorrow, we get going!

Day 2: Skiing & dining

Zipline within hazy mountains.

Head up to the lift from La Villa (Piz Sorega). You can even walk up from Corvara. Lunch at the delicious Rifugio Bioch. Dinner at L'Fana Grill.

Day 3: Hiking & paragliding

A hut with animals standing outside in a hilly area.

Day 4: Rock climbing
