Dolomites In Comfort - 7 Days

The walk starts in the Niederdorf/Villabassa or Toblach/Dobbiaco area and finishes in the same region. The closest airports are Venice and Innsbruck, both with onward connections to the area. By train, services run from Innsbruck over the Brenner Pass to Franzensfeste, with connections into the Pustertal Valley. By road, take the A22 Brenner motorway to Brixen and follow the scenic SS49 through the Pustertal Valley.

At the end of the walk, both Dobbiaco and Villabassa have public transport connections to Bolzano, Venice and beyond for onward travel.

This walk is available from 13 June to 20 September, with start days on Mondays, Wednesdays, Fridays, Saturdays and Sundays. Walking is not available from 27 July to 30 August inclusive. While it is possible to extend into late September, early snowfall and limited public transport outside the high season make this less practical.

Private transfers are available at additional cost for those wishing to walk outside the recommended window — contact our team to discuss. Groups of five or more have increased flexibility on start dates.

This is Auswalk's most flexible Dolomites itinerary, with harder and easier walking options available each day, making it the ideal choice for first-time alpine hikers.

Graded moderate to challenging, daily distances average around 14km with up to 712m of ascent and descent. The trails are well-defined and varied, covering forest tracks, high alpine pastures, rocky mountain paths and mountain villages, with prolonged ascents and descents on rough terrain and steps throughout. Snow patches may be encountered on higher passes, so good mountain footwear is essential.

An active lifestyle and a training regime of three to four times per week is recommended. Mountain weather can change quickly — at least one member of your group should be comfortable navigating with a map. Comprehensive walk notes, maps and a navigation app are provided for each day.

You must hold adequate travel insurance for your trip, including cover for personal liability and accidental injury and illness. For all trips involving international travel, your policy must also include emergency medical treatment, evacuation and repatriation cover. We strongly recommend your policy also covers trip cancellation and curtailment, and loss of or damage to luggage.

A cancellation fee usually applies if you cancel after your booking is confirmed. Travel insurance with cancellation cover will generally cover this fee, so it's worth arranging your policy at the time of booking.

Full insurance requirements are set out in our booking terms and conditions.

A detailed information pack and itinerary will be sent to you around six weeks before departure, covering everything you need to know for a seamless experience. In the meantime, our team is always on hand to answer any questions.

For your safety and well-being, we are unable to accept bookings for solo walkers on this itinerary. The remote nature of some tracks and limited mobile reception mean that walking alone presents a higher risk in case of emergencies.
