Finding your perfect Alpine or Dolomites walking holiday

One of the most popular choices among our customers is a Dolomites walking holiday, and it’s easy to see why. With every day bringing a new perspective of the jagged peaks, walking in the Dolomites promises a real thrill. But the Dolomites are far from being the only draw in the Italian Alps. Let’s not forget the impressive Ötztaler Alps to the west, where we offer another holiday: the centre-based Traditions of South Tyrol. Beyond South Tyrol, other regions in the Italian Alps that you can explore through Inntravel are the mountains north of Lake Como, the Valle Maira – a magical valley in the Cottian Alps near France – and the world-famous route that is the Tour du Mont Blanc.

Which Dolomites walking holiday?

Inntravel has four very different Dolomite walking holidays: A Stroll in the Italian Dolomites offers relaxing walking close to the breathtaking Seiser Alm plateau; while The Dolomites’ Three Peaks is a demanding but rewarding hike that takes in the iconic Tre Cime; Secret Dolomites starts in the mountains to the south and promises a sense of journey as you head north; and The High Dolomites explores both meadows and landmark peaks. You can combine the latter two to make a thrilling 12-night adventure – perhaps the ultimate hiking holiday in Italy!
