Alpine Grand Tour
The Dolomites are undoubtedly the most impressive mountains in Europe.

Golden Autumn is a great opportunity to enjoy the mountainous region without worrying about heavy backpacks on your shoulders and crowds of tourists.

Your journey will start from Venice Airport. The consultant will tell you how to get to the tourist town of Cortina d'Ampezzo the easiest and fastest way. At about 14:00, the team leader meets the group, and we visit a cafe together. We get acquainted and take a bus to the first hotel at an altitude of 1809 meters. The transfer will take only 20 minutes, but in this short period of time you will already see what the Dolomites are! We have a rest after the transfer and in the evening we walk near the Monte Cristallo mountain range.
This is how the hike in the Dolomites from Culoire begins!
The Tre Cime di Lavaredo, or as the Italians call them, the Three Prongs, are a true hallmark of the Dolomites. The three majestic peaks that proudly rise above the landscape are undoubtedly the most famous among numerous tourists. Their unique beauty and majesty have long been a symbol of the region, adorning more than one tourist postcard. They are located on the border between the regions of Veneto and Trentino-Alto Adige, in the Park Dolomiti di Sesto. The peaks of this group include Cima Grande with a height of 2999 meters, Cima Ovest with a height of 2973 meters and Cima Piccola, which reaches 2857 meters.
In order to enjoy these natural wonders, we depart from the hotel by private bus, traveling about 17 kilometers to Rifugio Auronzo, located at an altitude of 2320 meters above sea level. This place is an ideal starting point for hiking. The route we chose is a circular one and allows you to go around all three peaks, enjoying each of them from different angles. Along the trail, you can see not only majestic rocks, but also picturesque valleys and alpine meadows that stretch around.
During the day we will walk 11 km; altitude gain: 320 м.
The second day of the active part of our hike promises to be even more exciting as we head to the Sorapis massif.
Our hike will start from the Passo Tre Croci, which is located at an altitude of 1805 meters. The trail to the lake, about 6 kilometers long, is not too difficult, but it requires some physical training, as there are steep ascents and rocky areas along the way. The road passes through dense forests and alpine meadows, which adds even more autumnal charm to the trip.
The highlight of the day is Lake Sorapis, located in one of the large cirques of the massif at an altitude of 1923 meters above sea level. This mountain body of water impresses with its bright turquoise water, which creates a contrast with the dark rocks surrounding it. It was for this natural wonder that we traveled for a couple of hours. Once we reached the lake, we could relax on its shore, enjoying the peace and quiet that reigns in this remote corner of nature. The water of the lake is so clear that you can see the reflection of the surrounding mountains and sky. After a rest on the lakeshore, we will return by the same route to the pass, where a private bus is waiting for us. A short transfer to the new house and check-in to the rooms.
During the day we will walk 12 km; altitude gain: 443 м.
After waking up at the hotel, we set off on a hike to Lago di Braies, the pearl of the Dolomites. Autumn has already dressed the surrounding forests in gold and crimson, adding to the charm of this already unforgettable place.
Lake Bryes, like a gem, is hidden among the majestic mountain peaks that seem to guard this natural wonder from the rest of the world. Its waters have a turquoise hue in the morning, reflecting the surrounding peaks and clouds. In the sunlight, the lake water becomes even more transparent, and it seems as if you are looking into another world :)
We take a leisurely walk around the lake, admiring every turn of the path, which opens up new and new views. The autumn leaves spinning in the air create the atmosphere of a fairy-tale idyll, and the surface of the lake becomes the perfect backdrop for our photos.
For those who want even more emotions, there is an opportunity to rent a boat and sail on the calm water of the lake. After the walk, we return to the house, where we have the opportunity to cook dinner to our liking (we will stop at the nearest deli).
During the day we will walk 8 km
Today we are heading to the last gem of our trip to the Dolomites - the Cinque Torre mountain, or as it is also called, the top of the Five Towers. This is a rocky group that looks like a giant stone castle.
Before hiking, we will move to Passo Falzarego (2105m), next to which is the last hotel on our trip. From there, our path runs through picturesque mountain trails to the peaks, near which autumn has generously painted the landscapes with golden and red hues.
The Cinque Torri mountain, which means "Five Towers" in Italian, consists of five separate stone towers, ranging in height from 60 to 120 meters. These gigantic monoliths were formed by erosion, which over millions of years polished limestone rocks, giving them bizarre shapes. The main towers are Torre Grande, Torre Seconda, Torre Latina, Torre Quarta and Torre Inglese. From the height at which Mount Cinque Torri is located, we will have an amazing view of the Cortina d'Ampezzo valley. The majestic valley with small houses hiding among dense forests and pastures seems as if it has come from the pages of a fairy tale. Cortina d'Ampezzo, a famous ski resort, gains a special charm in the fall, when the surrounding forests turn into a multicolored mosaic.
We return to the road, have a short transfer to the hotel, sit down for dinner and recall all the events of such an intense trip.
During the day we walk 18 km; altitude gain: 520 м.
In the morning, after breakfast, we pack our bags and get ready to leave. Around 09:00, a private bus comes to pick up the group and take them to the Cortina d'Ampezzo bus station. At 11:30, direct buses to Venice depart from there.
After saying goodbye to the group, everyone goes home. For those who have free time, we recommend visiting Venice for a walk around the city. The hike in the Dolomites is over. See you on the trails!
The teamleader has the right to make changes to the route depending on the weather conditions, condition and general wishes of the group.
The weather in the Dolomites in the fall can be unpredictable. With the onset of September, rains become more frequent, so the end of the tent hiking season is inevitable, and we switch to hotel accommodation. It is not only more convenient, but also protects the group from cold nights. However, it is difficult to guarantee always sunny weather or the presence of yellow leaves, as in the photos, from mid-September. Our consultant is ready to provide additional information and help you choose a date based on your wishes. For example, in September it can still be warm in the mountains, but the forest will remain green, while in October it gets cooler during the day, but yellow leaves appear and the number of tourists decreases.
To participate in a tour in the Dolomites, you must have a valid Schengen or biometric passport.
To participate in the hike, you must not have any diseases from this list.
