Italy Dolomites Scenic Photography Trek

Selected leisure routes, light walking to enjoy the beautiful scenery

Carefully selected classic passages, avoiding high-intensity climbing, let you walk into the depths of the Dolomites in the easiest way. The whole process crosses many sections of glaciers, snowy mountains, meadows and alpine lakes. The scenery progresses layer by layer, and the whole way is picturesque and dreamy.

The high mountain professional guide will accompany you throughout the whole process, which is safe and secure.

Led by an internationally certified foreign alpine guide, he not only ensures safety, but also explains mountain knowledge, landform formation and mountaineering culture along the way, making this journey more in-depth and meaningful.

Logistics support is in place, luggage check-in, light pack departure

The professional logistics team checks in large luggage every day and provides supply and connection services, so that you can enjoy the rhythm and freedom of hiking with peace of mind.

Go deep into the core of the Dolomity and feel the cultural vein of the mountains.

Passing through the villages of the Laden-speaking area, ancient farmhouses and alpine pastures, listen to the guide about the myths and geological evolution hidden behind the Rose Valley and the Three Peaks, so that you can better understand the soul of this mountain while hiking.

Selected mountain hotels throughout the whole process, taking into account comfort and local experience

We select local alpine hotels with excellent scenery and considerate service. The whole process is equipped with double rooms as standard, and you can enjoy hot baths and local delicacies on foot. Some hotels are located deep in high mountain towns or valleys, allowing you to blend in with nature in comfort and feel the real Alpine night in the quiet.

June: The snow is not ending, and the wild flowers are just blooming

In early summer, there is still some high mountain snow in the Dolomites, and some sections of the road may need to step on the snow. There are fewer hikers, and you can quietly feel the beauty of the mountains. Wildflowers are quietly blooming in the valley, and occasionally wild animals can be active in the forest. It is the most "secret" season of the year.

July: The sea of flowers is in full bloom, and the mountains and fields are the most beautiful

July is the most splendid season in the Dolomites. The alpine meadow is full of wild flowers. The local guide will combine the explanation of plants to help you identify those colors that only belong to the Alps. At this time, the weather is stable and the sunshine is sufficient. It is the golden period of hiking and photography. The atmosphere in the mountains is warm but not noisy, which is suitable for integrating into nature.

August: midsummer peak, ripe mountain fruits

August is the peak of tourism in the Dolomites, with good road conditions and a strong summer atmosphere. The temperature in the mountains is cool and pleasant, suitable for families and light hikers. Some alpine wild fruits are ripe, and you can pick wild blueberries or raspberries during breaks to experience the childishness of interacting with nature.

September: The beginning of autumn, the paradise of photography

In September, the climate is still pleasant, with fewer tourists and a return to tranquility. The valley and the mountains and forests gradually change color, and the golden and orange red render the autumn picture of the Dolomites. The sunshine is gentle, the wind is light and the clouds are light, which is the favorite of photography enthusiasts and quiet hikers.

October: Color curtain, poetic ending

October is the end of autumn in the Dolomites. The alpine forests enter the last splendor, and some trails begin to close. The small town in the mountain gradually returned to tranquility. At this time, it was as if walking into the mountain to have a deep dialogue with people. Before the autumn leaves fall, take a journey of your own, let nature take away fatigue and leave tenderness.

This route is a light leisure hiking route in Dolomite. It is selected from the most scenic and varied sections, covering a variety of landforms such as alpine meadows, classic ridge lines, glacial lakes, primeval forests and so on.

The daily hiking time is about 5 to 7 hours, and the altitude is about +600 to +800 meters. The whole process does not involve technical climbing or high-altitude reaction. It is suitable for travelers who are in good health, have some outdoor experience or love hiking.

Under the guidance of a professional alpine guide, you can not only adjust the rhythm according to the state of the day, but also be flexibly optimized by the guide according to the team situation. We will take you to avoid the popular crowds, go deep into the secret road and viewing platform, and find those "hidden seats" that only local people know.

At the same time, the whole process is equipped with logistics luggage transportation services, so that you can carry a heavy backpack and focus on enjoying the scenery of the mountains and fields. In case of physical exhaustion or other special circumstances, the logistics support vehicle can take you directly to the next hiking starting point to ensure the consistency and safety of the experience.

In order to better enjoy this Alpine hiking trip, it is recommended that you do basic physical preparation 2 to 3 months before departure, such as jogging 5 kilometers a week, cycling for 30 minutes or climbing training, to improve cardiopulmonary ability and enhance leg strength, which will greatly improve your comfort and sense of accomplishment on the journey.

Breakfast is usually a continental breakfast, juice; coffee; bread; jam, milk, etc.

Lunch (road meal) Lunch is a light mountain meal prepared by the guide team according to the daily itinerary. It is suitable for enjoying during the picnic break on the way. The content is mainly made of traditional ingredients from the Dolomite region, including air-dried South Tyrol ham (Speck), handmade sausages, local alpine cheese, whole wheat bread, fresh fruit and vegetable salad, etc., with balanced nutrition and rich taste.

At the same time, we also take into account the eating habits of Chinese guests, and accompany some Chinese simple meal ingredients, such as instant noodles, squeezed vegetables, chili sauce and other snacks, so that they can also eat comfortably and deliciously on the way.

Dinner is mainly a local special dinner. The meal style combines the German and Italian mixed flavor of South Tyrol with the traditional flavor of the Dolomiti Mountains, with local meat, spaghetti, veal, cheese, and there are also hikers who adapt to vegetarianism (communicate with the guide in advance)

Accommodation arrangement

The whole route is for accommodation in selected high-mountain hotels, including local hotels located in the Funes Valley, Ortisei, Cortina and other places.

The environmental ecosystem of the Dolomiti Mountains is very fragile. With the increase in the number of hikers, the environmental vegetation, animals and plants are threatened. During the hiking process, try to follow the guide's footsteps to avoid taking shortcuts and stepping on vegetation. At the same time, it should be noted that the fruit peel paper, etc. brought are all brought into the high mountain wooden house; discard according to the garbage classification; although the fruit peel is degradable, it is basically impossible to degrade in the mountainous environment. The awareness of environmental protection is very important.

More and more Chinese hikers are on this route, representing the world influence of the Chinese people. Try to avoid loud noise in public places, be friendly to hikers from all over the world, protect the environment, abide by the precautions of alpine wooden houses, etc., and avoid wasting food.
