7 dagar
Vandring Self-Guided trip
Level 3
6 Breakfasts, 6 Dinners
The Dolomites hardly need any introduction. Pointed rock towers, green alpine meadows and turquoise mountain lakes make the Italian mountain range one of Europe's true hiking must-sees. On this trip, you stay at two comfortable hotels and take day trips among Cortina's most famous mountains. Hike beneath Tofane's mighty rock walls, count Cinque Torri's stone towers and follow classic trails around Tre Cime di Lavaredo / Dreizinnen. One of the trip's highlights is Lago di Sorapis, whose almost surreally turquoise water hides beneath high mountain walls. Your luggage waits at the hotel and dinner is included every evening – just comfortable enough after a day on the trails.

Dinner
Welcome to the Dolomites and the small village of Pocol, perched high above Cortina d'Ampezzo. You check in at the hotel and then have the rest of the day to settle in, enjoy the mountain air, and get acquainted with your surroundings. This is where you'll stay for the next three nights, strategically located for hikes around Cinque Torri and Tofane. In the evening, the trip's first dinner awaits at the hotel – a pleasant start before the hiking boots get to work in earnest the next morning.
Level and accommodation
Moderately challenging mountain hike for those with normal to good fitness and some hiking experience. The hike follows well-established trails, forest paths and alpine trails. Some sections are rockier, and at Lago di Sorapis there are shorter stretches with cables, railings and stairs. The five hiking days average about 12 km with 460 m up and 670 m down. Several days can be shortened or extended according to desire and energy.
The trip combines two accommodations, which means you get close to the best hikes without having to repack every day. The first three nights you stay in Pocol on the outskirts of Cortina, at a comfortable 3-star hotel with sauna and bar. After that, three nights await at Lago di Misurina at a comfortable 4-star hotel with, among other things, a pool. Breakfast and dinner are included every day.
