Book Your Self-Guided Dolomites Hiking Tour And You’ll Get
- Great value for money. You get the planning, the bookings and the local knowledge of a guided trip at self-guided prices.
- The freedom to hike on your own schedule with the people you choose. No group to keep pace with, and no fixed departure time in the morning.
- Every mountain hut and hotel booked for you. There’s no central booking system in the Dolomites, so each hut has to be reserved by phone or email. We do all of that.
- Alternative routes where they exist, so you can shorten a stage on the day your legs have had enough.
- Accommodation picked around what matters to you, whether that’s location, comfort or a private room rather than a dormitory bed.
- A tour designed by hikers, for hikers. We combine our own hiking experience with our local partners’ knowledge of the Dolomites to build every itinerary.
- A free personalized fitness plan worth €300, written around your tour, your fitness level and where you live, even if where you live is flat.
How Paying For Your Dolomites Tour Works
A 30% deposit is due once we’ve confirmed your accommodation, and the balance is due 21 days before you hike.
- Dormitory beds in the mountain huts are what the price covers, along with breakfast and dinner in the huts and breakfast at your basecamp hotel.
- Private rooms in the huts can be requested in advance where they exist, subject to availability. They’re very limited on the Alta Via 1, and the supplement is €20 per person per night there, or €15 on the two 5-day tours.
- Single supplements cover a private room in the basecamp accommodation and vary by tour, so ask us for the figure on the route you’re considering.
- Travel insurance isn’t included. Use our Travel Insurance Finder to compare policies for the trip you’re planning.
