Sensorial Dolomites: An Alpine Fall Escape

8 days

The Dolomites are one of the most iconic mountain ranges in the world and it offers experiences that are almost impossible to experience elsewhere in the world. Our carefully crafted Dolomites small group tour through this majestic region is designed to show travelers just what makes it so special. This journey takes you deep into the heart of the Dolomites and demonstrates the area’s natural beauty and ancient cultural traditions. Whether you’re drawn to hiking the Dolomite passes, exploring charming villages, or savoring local cuisine, this trip will immerse you in the essence of the Alps.

Our adventure begins with 3 nights at Chalet Sotciastel in Alta Badia, one of the region’s oldest and most charming masos. Restored in 2020, it offers modern comfort while preserving the rich history of the building. Guests will be able to relax with a rejuvenating massage, unwind in the outdoor jacuzzi, and enjoy daily farm activities like feeding the horses. There will also be a 5-course traditional Ladin dinner that will showcase just how delicious the food of this region is.

Next, we’ll stay 4 nights at the Schgaguler Hotel in Castelrotto, a boutique hotel renowned for its minimalist design and wellness focus. Guests will have access to the spa, enjoy yoga classes, and have a delicious welcome dinner. We will also explore the stunning landscapes surrounding Castelrotto, including visits to Lago di Carezza, a famous alpine lake, and the village’s many cultural gems.

This journey will include exclusive activities throughout, such as guided hikes to Lago d’Antermoia, cycling through the Dolomite passes, and the immersive Sant’Oswaldo Törggelen Experience, a celebration of the local harvest where farmhouses open their doors to share their homemade produce.Whether you’re exploring the iconic Antermoia or relaxing in Castelrotto, this small group trip in the Dolomites promises unforgettable landscapes and authentic alpine experiences. Join us for an adventure that combines nature, culture, and culinary bliss in one of Europe’s most stunning destinations.
