Dolomites, Italy

1 itinerary · 0 open departures · 0 missions

The Dolomites are a mountain range in northeastern Italy, spanning the regions of Trentino-Alto Adige and Veneto, and recognised as a UNESCO World Heritage Site for their dramatic, jagged peaks and vertical rock faces. Known for iconic summits like the Tre Cime di Lavaredo and the Marmolada glacier, the range offers some of Europe's most spectacular alpine scenery. In winter, the area transforms into a premier ski destination with the vast Dolomiti Superski circuit linking hundreds of slopes, while summer draws hikers, climbers, and via ferrata enthusiasts to its well-marked trail networks. The blend of Italian and Austrian cultural influences — reflected in the local cuisine, architecture, and bilingual towns — adds a distinctive character that sets the Dolomites apart from other Alpine destinations.

Self-Launched Hut-to-Hut Trekking on the Dolomites' Alta Via 1 (Southern Section)

A self-launched version of the classic southern Alta Via 1 hut-to-hut trek through the Italian Dolomites, starting at Passo Valparola and finishing in Belluno. You'll walk the same route past Cinque Torri, Lake Federa, Monte Pelmo, Lake Coldai and the Civetta west face, sleeping in the same traditional family-run rifugios — but booking huts, buses and transfers yourself. No guide required: the AV1 is well waymarked with red-and-white paint flashes (trail numbers 436, 434, 561, 556), and apps like Komoot, Gaia GPS or the official Alta Via 1 guidebook cover every stage. Perfect for confident, fit solo hikers comfortable carrying a 40-litre pack over back-to-back 5-7 hour days.

Missions

Nobody's posted a Mission for Dolomites, Italy yet — which, frankly, is an opportunity.

Wait, what's a Mission?It's not a scheduled trip with dates and a minimum group size like a Departure — it's a goal. Learn to dive, do a Muay Thai camp, live somewhere for a month and work on something, chase one very specific experience. Post it, and other people chasing the same thing find you.

Be the first to post one: "Eat the strangest thing on the menu every single day for a week and document the regret."
