What a wonderful experience. The guides and hotels were top notch. The weather was lovely, the wildflowers were blooming and the residual snow added another touch. I highly recommend this tour to others interested in hiking the Dolomites
Italy: The Dolomites
We just returned from our 3rd Country Walkers trip and this one to the Dolomites exceeded our expectations. We included the pre & post-trip offerings to Innsbruck & Venice. We did add two extra days in Innsbruck because we thought the one night extra offered would be too short to totally enjoy the city (and we are glad we did). Innsbruck offered many museums and things to do along with being close enough for a day trip to Neuschwanstein Castle in Germany. Our stay in Venice was the correct length of time and allowed us to end with some culture by visiting their many museums including Doge's Palace & St. Jacob Basilica. As far as the tour of the Dolomites the itinerary was near perfect with challenging (but very doable hiking) each of the six days. Keegan & Claudia were very knowledgeable about this area and also were very patient with all of us hikers so that we could accomplish the daily hikes. Keegan is very knowledgeable about geology & olive growing and Claudia (though quieter) complimented him to make the perfect team. Our weather was amazing, but as one could predict we did have one day of our six where the clouds were lower, and we didn't get to see the Tre Crimi peaks. One of the highlights of our daily hikes (besides the amazing scenery - like none we'd ever seen before) was the lunches at the refugios (mountain huts). Each provided great tasting food and a nice break before finishing up our hikes. We've been fortunate enough to travel a fair amount over the past years and I can truly say that this was probably our 3rd favorite trip of all time (Argentina & New Zealand still at the top). We would highly recommend consider Country Walkers for this trip or any of the others they offer - all the details are taken care of, lodging & meals are quality.
