HOTEL BASED DOLOMITES SAFARI

Depending on the time of your arrival in Bolzano, a visit to the Oetzi Archaeological Museum or a simple leisure walk in the lively streets and squares of the medieval town of Bolzano will be possible. If you choose to stay in Eppan, you can enjoy a scenic walk to the nearby castles, or rent a bike in the village and ride out to the volcanic lakes of Monticolo — and why not take a refreshing swim while you're there!

You will have a welcome briefing before dinner with your guide, who will give you your via ferrata gear, double check the equipment…  and recommend a typical restaurant for dinner!

Today, your Dolomites safari kicks off with a via ferrata adventure in the famous Val Gardena!

If you're a beginner, your guide will introduce you to the gear and teach you basic climbing techniques — the perfect way to build a solid foundation for the days ahead. If you're already an experienced climber, you can start right away with one of the many more challenging routes in the area.

Some options for this day? The Piccolo Cir via ferrata, the Tridentina, the Forcella Sassolungo route, or the Col Rodella via ferrata.

After the climb, enjoy a well-earned lunch or afternoon snack at a local mountain hut, then head back to your hotel to relax and recharge.

The day begins with a transfer to Carezza, for a spectacular loop through the via ferratas of the Catinaccio range.

Depending on conditions, you may climb the stunning Santner via ferrata, with a return through Val di Fassa using public transport (20 min by bus)— or opt for the classic Roda di Vael via ferrata, possibly extending to the Masarè route for those with extra energy and experience.

On the way back, enjoy a short stop to admire the crystal-clear waters and magical colors of Lake Carezza, before returning to your hotel for a well-deserved rest.

Today, after about a one-hour car transfer, you'll explore the spectacular Val di Fassa area. As always, your guide will choose the best via ferrata based on the weather, conditions, your ability level, and what kind of adventure you're in the mood for. You might climb the scenic Kesselkogel via ferrata, take on the Via Ferrata dei Finanzieri, or challenge yourself with the demanding “I Magnifici 4” — just to name a few possibilities.

In the afternoon, you’ll return to your hotel to relax and recharge for the next day.

On Day 5, you might feel like taking a break from the exposed, adrenaline-filled via ferratas and enjoy a relaxing walk or bike ride on the wide-open plateau of the Sciliar — the stunning Alpe di Siusi. This is the largest high-altitude meadow in Europe, with gentle trails, vast green pastures, and breathtaking Dolomite views in every direction. It’s the perfect place to slow down, stretch your legs, and reconnect with nature.

Whether you choose a peaceful hike among blooming meadows or a fun e-bike ride along panoramic paths, the area offers pure alpine magic. The iconic Sciliar mountain rises dramatically above the plateau, and along the way you’ll find cozy huts where you can stop for a traditional South Tyrolean lunch or a slice of homemade strudel.

And for those tireless climbers who still want more adventure, your guide will be happy to propose another via ferrata day!

Today you’ll set off early toward the Cortina area, where your guide will choose the perfect via ferrata in the stunning region between Passo Falzarego and the Tofane peaks.

This area offers some of the most breathtaking scenery in the Dolomites — and it’s steeped in history, with many routes winding through landscapes that were once battlefields during World War I.

Depending on conditions and your preferences, you might climb the fun and scenic Col dei Bos, the short but striking Sass de Stria, or the epic Via Ferrata Lipella, known for its length and serious elevation gain. Or perhaps another gem in this spectacular area — whatever the choice, you won’t be disappointed.

After the climb, you’ll return to your hotel to relax and reflect on an unforgettable day in one of the Dolomites' most iconic settings.
