The Alto Adige Dolorama Trek is a gorgeous hiking adventure in the magical atmosphere of the Dolomites, a region of wild open spaces, green meadows, and jagged peaks standing out against the deep blue sky. From the beginning to the end of this adventure you’ll be surrounded by glaciers, ridges, and massifs, enjoying spellbinding views that make every walk unforgettable.

The Dolorama Trail, which you’ll be following, is an easier trekking route that’s suitable for newer and younger hikers, making this an ideal choice for less experienced trekkers or anyone wanting an adventure they can enjoy without the effort that other routes in this area demand.

A must-do for first timers and families, surrounded by the most beautiful peaks of the world. The Dolorama Trail consists almost entirely of forestry paths and hiking trails and is only crossed once by a paved road. Enjoy nights in quiet villages where you can taste the cuisine of the region and local accommodations that are wonderfully welcoming.
