Ski Safari
If you love skiing, then at least once in your life you have to experience a ski safari in the Dolomites!
Imagine skiing from valley to valley, carving fresh tracks through ever-changing scenery—towering peaks, pristine forests, dramatic cliffs, and sun-drenched slopes. This is more than a ski trip: it’s an alpine journey across one of the most breathtaking mountain ranges in the world.
Your ski safari will take you through iconic destinations like the Altopiano dello Sciliar, Val Gardena, the majestic Marmolada Glacier, the wild beauty of the Civetta range, the legendary slopes of Cortina d’Ampezzo, the towers of Cinque Torri, and on to Alta Badia, Val di Fassa, and Carezza! Each day a new landscape, a new story, a new adventure!
This multi-day experience can be done entirely on-piste, following the endless runs of the Dolomiti Superski network, or we can take it off-piste for a thrilling backcountry adventure with one of our certified Mountain Guides. You decide how bold or relaxed your journey should be, and we'll tailor it to your skiing level and appetite for exploration.
By day, enjoy the freedom of gliding from slope to slope. By night, relax in alpine hotels and cozy mountain huts, where you’ll enjoy warm hospitality, incredible views, and hearty local cuisine. Wake up to sunrise over the peaks and head out for another unforgettable day on the snow.
Like all of our trips, our Ski Safaris are fully customizable. Whether you have three days or a full week, whether you're skiing with friends, family, or solo… we'll build a personalized itinerary that fits your style, pace, and schedule.

a power bank and phone charging kit
a waterproof bag with a change of clothes for the evening
a second pair of gloves

Your bags will be transferred from one accommodation to the next, and you’ll find them waiting for you upon arrival!
