Trip Overview
One of the beauties of skiing in the Dolomites is that you can ski from resort to resort returning to a base camp hotel, or moving from hotel to rifugio. And, on this exciting ski safari, you’ll do both! On one evening you’ll experience the welcoming atmosphere of a rifugio – an alpine mountain inn set high atop the mountains with excellent views. Cozy wood-paneled bedrooms and big fluffy duvets make for a great end to the day! And crossing from region to region your taste buds will enjoy the unique combination of flavors resulting from the different Italian, Austrian, and Ladin cultures and cuisine found in these valleys.
No day is the same, with pristine valleys and terrains aplenty for your family to explore within the beautiful Dolomite Mountains. And nowhere else in the world can you access such a variety of lift-service skiing terrain covering so much ground – you may never ski the same run twice! The imposing peaks of the Dolomite Mountains provide extraordinary terrain for skiing and snowboarding. With the sun shining an unparalleled 8 days out of 10 in this sunny winter paradise – more than any other range in the Alps! – skiers of all ages will rejoice. Boasting the number one ski resort in the world, and a past Winter Olympics site to boot, the Dolomites are a winter sports paradise for families – beginners and champions alike.
Please note: It is important to us that you get the most out of your Dolomite Mountains trip! Our ski safaris require a minimum ability of intermediate to advanced skiing.

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 Hotels and B&Bs?
The
Dolomites has a multi-faceted culture and history that is reflected in
each village we visit, and we make sure to provide you with the most
authentic experience of the region possible through the hotels and
B&Bs we offer. Hotels and chalets are available in the larger
villages, while agriturismos (working farms with accommodations similar
to B&Bs) are more common in rural areas. And we always make sure you
have access to inspired regional cuisine and the best panoramas you
can get in the Dolomites!

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.
To learn even more about rifugios in the Dolomites, check out our Rifugios in the Dolomites article, and learn about one of the best ways to experience these incredible mountains!

Still want more? Why not extend your adventure!
Dolomite Mountains offers fantastic extensions that you can enjoy before or after your trip in the Dolomites. Explore Venice, Verona, Lake Garda, Florence, or Milan,

no more perfect way to recover from jet lag upon arrival, or delay your
return to reality at the end of your trip!
