La Vita e l’avventura! That’s our motto on this
mountaineering trip of a lifetime in the Dolomites. Italy
is the land of beauty: beautiful cities, food, people and,
art. It’s no surprise that its alpine style sets the bar
for bellissimo. The Dolomites tower in jagged spires and
buttresses of limestone. Sunsets cast pink light magic that
dances through the sky. Spend your days walking the Alta Vias
(high paths) and spend your nights in rifugios nestled in the
alpine glow. Summit impressive passes, rock climb the ancient
formations, and explore mountain tunnels used in World War I.
You won’t have to remove your rose colored lenses as you trek
these incredible footpaths. Che bello!
