Cowbells clang in the distance as you inhale the cool mountain air atop Pütia saddle. The trail ahead winds through lush grassy slopes dotted with hay barns towards distant rocky spires. Across the next meadow lies a wood-timbered mountain refuge with forest-green shutters, vibrant red geraniums, and delectably sweet Kaiserschmarrn pancakes. Of course, indulging your taste buds requires no excuse on this Dolomites hiking tour. Admiring the scenery can wait. You’ve got hours before the setting sun casts its enrosadira (alpenglow) over the limestone peaks. For now, enjoy the Dolomites’ heavenly human touches: a south Tyrolean farm family’s warm welcome, cappuccino, strudel, and homemade dumplings with cheese from the dairy next doors
Highlights
- Tour the remains of World War I bunkers and tunnels, learning about the area’s fascinating history with your knowledgeable guides.
- Admire the colossal pinnacles of the Tre Cime di Lavaredo trail, one of the most iconic landmarks of the UNESCO-preserved Dolomites.
- Experience authentic South Tyrolean hospitality and traditional Ladin culture and personalized attention from the Cristofolini family, owners of this truly unique historic hotel in the heart of the Dolomites.
- Follow a path of gradual switchbacks carpeted with junipers to Limo Pass, where Lake Limo sits within a natural amphitheater, surrounded by wind-carved karst formations.

This tour was beautiful and I felt the the rating of moderate to challenging was correct. There were some challenging hiking days.
Italy: The Dolomites
Overall trip was great. Challenging hikes, beautiful scenery, amazing guides and great accommodations and food. Would have been 5 stars if it wasn't for the fact I was third wheeling on someone else's family vacation.
