If you are looking for a hiking vacation that is not too technically difficult, the Dolorama Way in Italy is the perfect match for you. In addition to the popular Alta Via 1 and Alta Via 2, this hike also gives you the chance to discover the beauty of the Dolomites.

The distance of the complete route is 61 kilometers divided into 5 stages. Through the well-marked mountain trails you will walk between rock formations and vast Alpine meadows. This 5-day package is suitable for any hiker with a good basic condition and therefore perfect as a first introduction to a hut tour. Because we have divided the first stage over 2 days, the tour becomes a lot more relaxed.
