Great trips to Dolomites start here.

9 day hut to hut hike through the Italian Alps Astounding 360 views, followed by 3 course Italian meals & wine; what more could you want? A truly unforgettable trip that needs to be on your bucket list! If you do a self guided hike, as I did, it can be overwhelming to plan.

This is the ultimate 7-day itinerary for when you visit the Italian Dolomites. The Dolomites is one of my absolute favorite. One of the most notable features of this area is the incredible landscape, with jagged peaks, towering cliffs, and picturesque valleys.

Cortina d’Ampezzo is one of the best towns to use as your base for exploring the Dolomites! Known as a playground for the wealthy, there’s plenty to do in the town that won’t break the bank too. I’ve included several restaurants that won’t break the bank as well as a few worth a splurge. There’s a ton of great hiking and skiing around Cortina, including some without needing a car. This guide is more focused on hiking- I don't include ski runs here. On this guide, you’ll get: - the major sights with notes on what you’re seeing and if they need advanced booking - an interactive map to help navigate you to each spot - 5 of the major hiking areas or views, along with advice on how to get there - 7 restaurants at varying price points, along with a breakfast spot - 2 shops you’ll want to see - 1 3-star hotel
