This self-guided hiking tour in the Dolomites is perfect for people without time for a longer break. This 5-day hiking tour lets you explore the region around Val Badia, and the stunning Italian Dolomites.

Escape the hustle and bustle spanning the popular cities in Italy and let the astonishing, towering Dolomites in Val Badia envelop you. Experience another side of Italy’s rich culture, one that introduces delicious wines, mouthwatering cheese in the thick of nature rather than in the lively cities of Rome, Florence, and Venice.

Amid the jagged Dolomites, you’ll encounter local folk speaking a language other than Italian: Ladin—a romance language. The different language paired with the wild scenery unveils another layer of Italy. Basically, this self-guided five-day tour embodies the same elements that make the country so great, but with tall mountains and a different cultural perspective.

Trek to Rifugio Fanes
Pack a daypack because you’re going to leave La Valle for an epic hiking adventure to Rifugio Fanes. Spending a night in a rifugio is simply splendid, as you get sunset and sunrise in the mountains almost entirely to yourself. The trail slowly ascends as you pass by Sasso delle Nove’s rock faces and vistas of Austrian mountain tops. Be prepared for a steep incline during the last section of this hike. Eventually, you'll reach astonishing views of the valley sprawling below and of Fanes-Sennes-Braies Natural Park. Once you reach Rifugio Fanes, opt to go on a worthwhile 1 km jaunt to Lé Vërt lake and Limo lake.

You can also opt to take a route that requires less of a climb, but still traverses gorgeous views of mountain peaks and valleys.
