Trip Overview
If you love to ski, and the more runs you can get in on different slopes each day the better, then you should check out our Dolomites Ski Safari Group Departure! We’ve crafted this trip to maximize your time on the slopes, exploring a wide range of terrain across different resorts in some of the most beautiful mountains on earth – the Dolomites.
With an intimate 6:1 guest-to-guide ratio, you’ll enjoy your agility and speed within a group of compatible endurance skiers who are also seeking adrenaline and connection in the Dolomite Mountains.
You’ll enjoy five full days of unforgettable skiing with our outstanding UIAGM/IFMGA professional mountain guides. Your journey begins in Alta Badia, where you’ll explore the legendary slopes of Gran Risa, Piz La Villa, Gardenaccia, and Santa Croce. From there, ski into Val di Fassa and embark on the renowned Sellaronda Ski Tour. Next, conquer the Marmolada Glacier, where the awe-inspiring landscapes will leave you speechless. Continue your adventure through the valleys of Alleghe, Selva di Cadore, Zoldo, and Palafavera on Monte Civetta, soaking up the history and traditions along the way. Finally, experience the magic of Cinque Torri and the Lagazuoi ski areas, with their enchanting descents and fairytale-like scenery.
Every day you’ll explore a different ski area within Dolomiti Superski – 12 ski areas featuring 1,200 kilometers (746 miles) of prepared pistes, all on one ski pass, leading you through the breathtaking beauty of these mountains.
In the evenings, relax in the welcoming atmosphere of traditional rifugios – Alpine mountain inns set high in the Dolomites with spectacular views – and savor the rich culture and cuisine unique to the region.

Accommodation
Great hotels with Dolomite Mountains. Whether intimate lodge, family run B&B, or luxury spa resort, our hotels are unique, eminently local, and hard to leave.
Want to learn more about our Luxury Hotels?
Luxury accommodations in the Dolomites combine the ultimate in comfort and refinement. From five star hotels, Michelin star-rated restaurants, and pampering spas, just because you are in the mountains does not mean you cannot have a truly luxe Italian experience in the Dolomites! From the chic town of Cortina d’Ampezzo, a popular destination for the rich and famous, to the quiet and discreet luxury of San Cassiano in Alta Badia, you will find accommodations with credentials ranging from membership in the exclusive Relais & Châteaux to The Leading Hotels of the World!
Want to learn more about our Mountain Inns & Rifugios?
Rifugios – or mountain huts in English – are the classic accommodation for hikers, climbers, mountaineers, and ski mountaineers in the Alps. Set in spectacular locations high in the Dolomites, rifugios are accessible only on foot (with a few exceptions that are reachable by car). These marvelous establishments are open primarily in the summer, with a select few in winter, and offer meals and sleeping facilities.
The Dolomite rifugios are considered the best in the Alps. While some are dormitory style with bunk beds, many meet the standard of a simple guest house with private rooms and en-suite bathrooms, and each has its own unique character and charm. Bedding and linens are provided, hot showers are available, and meals are served in common dining areas – like a small mountain inn set high in the mountains with the most incredible vistas in the Dolomites. Whether you’re hiking in summer or skiing in winter, an overnight rifugio stay is not to miss on a Dolomite holiday.
