A wonderful introduction to the Dolomites

I could not have asked for a better introduction to one of the world's most spectacular mountain ranges. The trip began in the old, German speaking town of Innchen/San Candido and worked its way to Misurina on the Italian speaking side which serves as a base camp for the UNESCO rated Tre Cime di Lavaredo, the open air World War I museum of Monte Piana, and a wide variety of other spectacular mountain trails.

I could not have asked for a better introduction to one of the world's most spectacular mountain ranges. The trip began in the old, German speaking town of Innchen/San Candido and worked its way to Misurina on the Italian speaking side which serves as a base camp for the UNESCO rated Tre Cime di Lavaredo, the open air World War I museum of Monte Piana, and a wide variety of other spectacular mountain trails. It then went on to Cortina d'Ampezzo, the glitzy site of the 2026 Winter Olympics, from which there was a variety of trails available, including perhaps the most spectacular mountain vista I've seen from Italy's highest Refugio. Other than the area immediately around the Tre Cime, the routes were carefully picked to avoid the crowds, allowing a much more relaxed way of appreciating the mountains. The hotels each had a real sense of place and were picked to present different perspectives on the visitor experience in the region. As has consistently been my experience with On Foot walks, the logistics were flawless and the background information and trip notes superb.

This was my 9th walk with On Foot. I keep on returning because of the company's commitment to finding unique, and quality walking experiences which have been carefully vetted and curated by the central office staff and supported by committed local representatives, who have always been available for up to date logistical considerations or information about the area in general. The route choices have consistently been picked to show the unique aspects of the area rather than following a "standard route" along with a herd of other walkers. The mechanics of the lodgings, transfers, and luggage transfers have always worked seamlessly, and the local providers have shown a consistent and loyal appreciation of their On Foot connection. As I have finished each walk, I have always looked forward to finding the next one.

Beautiful hiking and a wonderfully organised holiday

We hiked the spectacular Dolomites and loved the hotels and towns that we stayed in each night.

On Foot is first class. Their choice of walks is superb, as is their choice of hotels along the way. Their service and helpfulness is unmatchable. We have used them many times and will do so again and again.

Excellent introduction to hiking in the Dolomites

Our five-day tour of the Dolomites gave us the chance to explore a variety of beautiful hiking routes, staying at delightful hotels and enjoying the Tyrolean vibe. Routes included river valleys, alpine meadows and rocky plateaux, with a range of optional alternatives to choose from.

On Foot holidays organised the trip very well. The communication was excellent. They responded quickly and fully to any queries, gave lots of detailed information, and planning was good. It felt personal, like they really cared about whether we had a good holiday.

Wonderful Hiking Adventure

We hiked in the Dolomites and it was challenging but rewarding. I traveled with my adult sons and it was a lovely holiday exploring Italy and hiking in the Dolomites. Everyone should experience this beauty!

On Foot Holidays was very organized and their detailed hiking itinerary was perfect. We were never lost or confused and appreciated knowing what to expect at all times. Our lodging was nice and each town had so much charm. We can’t wait to return for another hiking adventure!

Hiking The Dolomites

We loved the incredible mountain scenery, the culture (mix of Germanic and Italian), and hearing the history and stories about the area (World War I). The trip offered a diversity of experiences.......interesting selection of places to visit and stay.

Without the planning support from On Foot Holidays, I don't think we would have had the opportunity to actually hike in this part of the world. Getting in and out of the Dolomite region can be challenging. I appreciate the attention to detail that made the process of making the trip possible. On Foot Holidays made selections (routes, lodging, suggestions) that were well matched to our needs.

Amazing Dolomites

This was a terrific walking trip planned by On Foot Holidays. The scenery, the interesting routes, hotels and meals were all excellent. Love how this walking trip starts near the Austrian border with lots of German influence and continues on south to Cortina which is full on Italian.

On Foot Holidays provided us with all the travel information to get to the start of the walk and transfer times to get to our next location at the end of the walk. A booklet with history and information about the towns that we walked through was so helpful and interesting. The route notes to follow on our walk were excellent as were the suggestions for restaurants when meals were not provided at the hotels.

Spectacular

Walking tour of the Dolomites that had everything you would ask for from a walk in the Italian alps - jagged peaks, 360 degree views, pine forests, cows and cow-bells(!), perfect weather, history and mountain hospitality

Provided very detailed information to get to the walk and to prepare for the walk itself - well in advance and leading up to. The track notes for the walk were very detailed such that we never got into trouble.
