Hiking in the Dolomites is superb and suitable for all abilities with optional Via Ferrata adventure. You need to be sure-footed and have a head for heights for Via Ferrata but the excitement of negotiating the protected scrambling routes is unbeatable.

Originally built to assist the movements of military units in WW1, Via Ferrata is the key Dolomites attraction. It is a breath taking network of scrambling routes, comprised of skilfully installed fixed cables, ladders and gorge-spanning bridges, which aid ascents to dramatic summits.

We spent one week in suitable accommodation with breathtaking views locally sourced food freshly cooked for us daily. I travelled with a group of 30 all of different levels and abilities from all corners of the globe.

A definate feel good factor on return.
