About us
CIAO!
I’m Filippo, UIAGM/IFMGA certified Mountain Guide and founder of DolomiteSafari.
Right now, while you’re reading this, I’m probably somewhere up in the mountains—climbing or skiing—out there guiding, exploring, and sharing real adventures in the Dolomites.
I’m based in Bolzano, the gateway to the Dolomites. I hold a degree in Law, but my passion for the mountains and for nature took over. For many years now, I’ve been working full time as a mountain guide in the Dolomites—exactly where I feel at home.
From here, together with our team, we design tailor-made journeys for people who want to experience the Dolomites in the most authentic way possible: moving through the mountains on foot or on skis, crossing entire mountain groups, and sometimes even the whole Dolomites—like during our ski safaris. Not just single days, but real journeys through the landscape.
Our mission is simple: to create trips that let you truly live the Dolomites. Slow travel, real effort, meaningful routes, and nights spent in family-run rifugios—simple places with great food, warm hospitality, and that unique mountain atmosphere you only find up high.
We have a deep passion for long, demanding climbing routes, the kind you might not want to tell your mother about! ;) But we’re just as committed to creating fun, active holidays for families, and to helping kids take their very first steps on the rock in the forest.
Whether you're chasing vertical challenges, planning a multi-day journey with friends, skiing across the Dolomites, tackling classic via ferratas, or hiking through remote mountain trails—we’re here to guide you, safely and authentically.
A few personal details?
My favorite peak is the Rosengarten.
My favorite rifugio dish: Press Knödel.
Dessert? Apfelstrudel. Always.
The Dolomites are home, but they’re not the limit. We also guide trips in the surrounding Alps and organize trekking adventures in Sardinia.
Let’s explore the Dolomites the way they deserve to be lived.
Our Values
At DolomiteSafari, we believe in moving through the mountains with love, respect, and intention. We travel slowly, favoring public transportation whenever possible, and we actively try to avoid mass tourism.
Our approach is personal, mindful, and deeply rooted in our connection to nature.
We value kindness — both toward the people we meet and the places we visit. Our goal is to make every guest feel at ease, welcomed, and truly seen.
Above all, we strive to offer meaningful, tailor-made experiences that leave a lasting impression — the kind you carry with you long after the journey ends.
Sustainability
When exploring the Dolomites — unless you have special timing or planning needs — the network of public buses and cable cars offers a quiet, sustainable alternative to the noise and stress of driving. Whenever possible, we love to suggest this way of moving around!
To truly experience the Dolomites and the surrounding mountains in their most authentic and wild beauty, we suggest booking outside the peak season! It’s a simple way to show more care for these incredible places — and to travel in a more gentle and sustainable way. Not only will the mountains thank you — but so will you!
