If you\u2019re curious about whether a Dolomite ski safari is something worth trying on your next visit to the magnificent Dolomite ski region, here are several reasons why you absolutely should add one to your upcoming itinerary.<\/p>\n

Dolomiti Superski<\/strong> \u2013 The Dolomites are home to some of the most breathtaking and incredible skiing opportunities on earth and the Dolomiti Superski doesn\u2019t disappoint. With 12 ski areas featuring 1,200 kilometers (746 miles) of spectacular prepared pistes, skiers can experience absolutely unforgettable downhill adventure on one pass. All of this is part of the ski safari experience.<\/p>\n

Breathtaking Scenery<\/strong> \u2013 Whether you\u2019re riding up a lift, skiing down a mountainside slope, traversing from hut to hut or relaxing at your final destination for the evening, the Dolomite ski regions offer some of the most amazing landscapes and breathtaking natural scenery in the world.<\/p>\n

Incredible Family-Run Rifugios<\/strong> \u2013 Rifugi are alpine inns or mountain huts that are set high atop the mountains, offering unique accommodations and an authentic cultural experience. Ski safari participants can choose which of these huts to stay in, with accommodations ranging from basic to first class, including culinary masterpieces prepared by world renowned chefs. What\u2019s more, many of these inns have been owned and\/or managed by generation after generation of the same family, lending to the warm, authentic alpine experience.<\/p>\n

Much More than Classic Resort Skiing<\/strong> \u2013 Most ski enthusiasts have already experienced the traditional downhill adventure that mountain resorts offer, but these adventures provide so much more. Participants can also ski cross country from valley to valley, hut to hut, and enjoy a more in-depth cultural experience.<\/p>\n

Enjoy Different Accommodations Each Night<\/strong> \u2013 One of the nicest features of ski safaris is the variety they offer. Instead of heading back to the same hotel or inn every single night of your trip, you can instead experience a different place each night, adding to the uniqueness and diversity of these unforgettable adventures. Stay in cozy quarters one night and then move on to a luxury stay somewhere else the next.<\/p>\n

Mouth Watering, Hearty Alpine Food<\/strong> \u2013 They say the best way to experience a new destination is through your taste buds. The Dolomite area is home to excellent culture and cuisine that is unique to the region, prepared the same way with fresh, local ingredients for generations.<\/p>\n

Lift-Service Pistes<\/strong> \u2013 In some cases, a direct cross country route from hut to hut simply isn\u2019t feasible. For those situations life service pistes are available to help you move from valley to valley and inn to inn, making it easy to reach your new destination and experience the next adventure that awaits you.<\/p>\n

Robust Network of Lifts and Pistes<\/strong> \u2013 The network of lifts available in the Dolomite area are conveniently interconnected by resort towns and high mountain rifugi, so whether it\u2019s getting from slope to slope by day or reaching your evening accommodations after a full day of skiing, you\u2019ll have no problem getting to where you need to be.<\/p>\n

Never Remove Your Skis<\/strong> \u2013 With Ski Safaris, participants can enjoy all of their adventures without ever having to remove their skis. Travel between mountains, across valleys and from hut to hut by foot or using the expansive network of lifts and gondolas.<\/p>\n

Plenty of Choices for Accommodations<\/strong> \u2013 A key feature of ski safaris is the opportunity to experience authentic mountain life by staying in the cozy rifugios of the area, but participants have plenty of other choices for where they\u2019ll lay their head for the evening. The area also features a wide variety of bed and breakfasts as well as plenty of luxury hotels throughout for those who prefer a more extravagant lodging experience.<\/p>\n

These are just a few of the countless reasons ski safaris are fast becoming the adventure of choice for Dolomite visitors across the globe. In fact, these trips were recently featured in an article<\/a> by the New York Times. If you\u2019re a skier and are up for a new experience, a ski safari should be at the top of your must-try list.<\/p>\n
