This wonderful itinerary commences in amongst the incredible spires of the Rosengarten Massif where we will hike balcony trails and have time to better understand Otzi, the Copper Age Iceman found at the base of a glacier at 10,000ft, who perished in the Alps some 5,300 years ago.

Utilising rugged Alpine paths we will hike in magnificent surroundings calling into one of the many high mountain Rifugios for coffee stops and tasty lunches. Leaving the Rosengarten behind we journey across the Alpe di Siusi Plateau and descend into Ortisei via cable car; a stylish mountain town.

Our journey continues on to St Peter village, the birth place of Reinhold Messner. A visionary and pioneering mountaineer, Messner was the first person to climb all 14 x 8000m peaks without oxygen. We visit one of the Messner mountain museums high up on the Kronplatz plateau in a truly spectacular setting. Journeying on to the Badia valley with magnificent vistas of the eastern Fanes and Sella mountains.

Our second penultimate hike is set in a breathtaking location, and steeped in WWI history with a network of tunnels constructed inside the mountain that were used as part of the Italian stronghold against the Austrians.

For our final stage of this Dolomiti adventure we descend in the shadow of the Tofane massif with many of the peaks over 10 500ft in height. Alpine meadows our at their best in early summer and we lavish in the flower fields with obligatory photos to save the moment before descending into Cortina d’Ampezzo and enjoying our 5* luxury hotel for two nights before a farewell dinner in this beautiful Italian town.
