What’s a Safari in the Dolomites?
A DolomiteSafari is not just a program or a fixed itinerary. It means travelling every day across new valleys and changing scenery, in summer or in winter, crossing the Dolomites from Trentino to South Tyrol and into the Veneto region ranges. Within a single journey you experience different cultures, languages and atmospheres, all connected by one common thread: the mountains and our passion for them.
The Spirit of a Safari
Whether on skis, along a via ferrata or climbing the iconic rock towers of the Dolomites, the idea remains the same: to move with flow, to change perspective day by day and to live these extraordinary peaks from the inside rather than simply looking at them from afar! One moment you might cross a silent high alpine plateau, the next follow a via ferrata along dramatic rock walls or ski across wide open slopes with the Dolomites rising all around you. Every day feels different because the mountains, the light and the conditions shape the experience. More than reaching a destination, a DolomiteSafari is about slowing down, changing perspective and feeling part of the landscape.
Different Ways to Live a Safari
A DolomiteSafari can take many different forms. It might be a relaxed guided ski day flowing around the Sella Massif, a multi day journey across remote valleys, or a vertical adventure on the iconic rock towers of the Dolomites. Different activities, different rhythms, but always the same idea: moving through the mountains with curiosity, freedom and a deep connection to the landscape.
Guided by the mountains
Guided by a local IFMGA mountain guide, each safari adapts to the conditions, the season and the people sharing the experience. No fixed script, just real mountain days shaped by weather, light and the spirit of adventure.
When do we start?
The Grand Via Ferrata Safari of the Dolomites
The Grand Via Ferrata Safari is not a single fixed itinerary, but a logical combination of several programs that we have designed to flow naturally across the Dolomites in a geographic, progressive and meaningful way. The journey links some of the most iconic areas of these mountains, moving through the dramatic towers of the Catinaccio with the Rosengarten Safari, continuing around Sassolungo and the Sella Group, and then expanding towards the wild walls of Civetta and the vast landscapes of the Pale di San Martino. It can be experienced as one long and demanding traverse for those looking for a true challenge, or divided into different stages over time, allowing you to build your own DolomiteSafari step by step throughout the years.
Ski Safaris in the Dolomites
Ski Safaris can be lived in different ways, always following the same idea of movement and flow across the mountains. They can take the form of a classic one day journey such as the Sellaronda, where panoramic pistes and changing perspectives create a relaxed but dynamic ski experience. For those looking for longer adventures, hut to hut ski safaris open the door to multi day journeys across the Dolomiti Superski area, linking valleys and landscapes in the Grand Ski Safari. A more alpine and exploratory approach is the Grand Backcountry Ski Safari, where ski touring and remote terrain create a deeper connection with the wild side of the Dolomites.
