Discover the beauty of the Dolomites in 7 days. Stay in authentic mountain huts and hike along famous spots like Tre Cime, Lago di Braies, and Cadini di Misurina.
We've mapped out a unique 5-day route that combines the highlights of the Dolomites with the most beautiful huts and refuges you can find. Get ready for authentic mountain villages and local culinary delights set against a backdrop of breathtaking nature.
The Dolomites are the most spectacular mountain range in Italy. You'll hike from hut to hut while admiring rugged peaks, green valleys, and enchanting azure blue lakes.
To combine these highlights in one week, we're using a shuttle twice. This is the only way we can bring together part of the Via Alpina and other highlights like Cadini di Misurina and the Tre Cime in one trip.
During this trail you’ll stay in authentic mountain huts, a cozy hotel with breakfast and two dinners included, and at a well-equipped campsite along the route. The huts and campsite are situated in idyllic locations, amidst stunning mountain scenery, surrounded by rugged rock formations and majestic peaks. Here, you'll experience the warm, welcoming atmosphere of mountain life and gain a unique insight into the local culture, from traditional dishes to stories from the mountains.
Securing a spot in these special huts is a challenge due to their popularity and limited capacity. That's why our experienced team has carefully crafted this route to make your experience as unforgettable as possible.
Our experienced rangers have crafted the most beautiful route for you so you can see the highlights of the Dolomites in a relatively short time. You'll pass by Lago di Braies and Lago di Sorapis, and if you choose to stay one more day, you can also add Cadini di Misurina and the Tre Cime to your itinerary!
To make this happen, we've designed a thoughtful weekly schedule where we connect the most stunning spots with two shuttles.
The trail is self-guided. This means you hike the route entirely on your own without a guide. This way, you're completely free to choose your own pace and daily schedule, so you're not tied to a group or a guide.
Our rangers on-site are available all week to assist you over the phone with advice or help with any issues.

To create a lovely continuous route, you'll spend 2 nights in an authentic mountain cabin, 1 night in a charming little hotel, and 1 night in a tent at a well-equipped campsite.
There are countless paths in the Dolomites. Making a choice and planning a complete hiking trip isn't always easy. That's why we've mapped out a week-long itinerary and arranged cozy huts along the trail. This way, you can hike past the most beautiful highlights in a relatively short period of 5 full hiking days.
The total distance of just under 85 km is fixed (including the optional hike to the Tre Cime), but the distances for the daily stages may vary based on the availability of the huts.
The Dolomiti Trail will be organized during the Summer of 2026.

We also recommend carpooling with other travelers; about 2 weeks before departure, you can join the WhatsApp group for your week.

The Dolomiti Trail is a self-guided trail. This means you'll be hiking the route entirely on your own. We ensure you have everything you need to make the journey a success. Everything is taken care of for you, so you don’t have to think about anything. All you need to do is hike and enjoy.
We provide unique sleeping arrangements. For a week, you'll be staying in charming cabins or a little hotel along the trail. One night will be spent at a campsite. We'll supply you with a tent, sleeping bag, and sleeping mat. Sanitary facilities are available at each sleeping location.
At the hotel at the beginning of the week, you can choose between a bed in a shared room with other participants or a private double room.
In the mountain huts, you'll sleep in dorms or mattress rooms. These are sleeping areas with several (bunk) beds or mattresses. So you'll be sleeping alongside other hikers. This is unique and typical of mountain hut life, where you can truly experience the mountains.
At the campsite, you'll stay in your own little tent.
It's mandatory to bring your own sleeping bag liner. Be sure to also bring earplugs and/or an eye mask to ensure a restful night in the hut.
The first hiking day at The Dolomiti Trail is the start date of your booking. For instance, if you book from September 1 to 6, you'll go on the day hike to Lago di Sorapis right on September 1.
If you want to leave well-rested, you can optionally book an extra night before the start in Misurina through us. Please note: availability is limited, and in the Travelbase app, your start date will remain September 1. However, you will see in your chosen options that an extra hotel night for the first day has been added.
During the hike, you'll regularly pass by a hut where you can grab something to eat or drink. In the huts where you spend the night, breakfast is always included, and in one of the two huts, dinner is also included.
The night you stay in a tent at the campsite, you have the option to dine at the on-site restaurant or visit the campsite's food truck. There's also a small shop with basic breakfast essentials.
On the evening when dinner is not included with your stay in the hut, you can choose your dinner from the hut's menu. (Note: this is not included, so you'll need to settle the bill yourself after dinner.)
We recommend bringing enough food for during the day. Pack plenty of snacks like nuts and dried fruit to keep your energy up.
If you'd rather not have lunch in a hut every day or want to spend a bit less, you can also purchase a foodpack from us for €65. This foodpack includes a cooking set (cooking pot, gas burner, and gas bottle) and several freeze-dried meals (daily lunch plus dinner and breakfast for the campsite). Remember to bring your own lighter and reusable cutlery or a long spoon.
Also, make sure to bring your own water bottles. Aim to carry at least 2-3 liters of water. You can refill your water bottles at the huts, sometimes for a fee.
You will receive a packing list well in advance that outlines all the necessary gear.
The basics are good hiking shoes that protect your ankles (category A-B/B), a backpack (about 30 – 45l), a sleeping bag liner, and protective (rain) clothing.
You can also optionally rent hiking poles from us for €12.00 per person. Hiking poles are highly recommended for multi-day trips in the mountains to relieve your joints and support your body.
You will sleep 1 night in a tent at a campsite along the route. We provide you with a tent, a sleeping bag, and a sleeping pad (included in the price).
You will receive a packing list in advance that outlines all the necessary gear.
The food pack is highly recommended if you want to keep your budget low and ensure that your meals provide all the necessary nutrients during an intense hike. You'll find tasty, varied, and nutritious meals (5 x lunch, 1 x dinner (camping), & 1 x breakfast (camping)).
Your cooking set (including a cooking pot, gas burner, and gas canister) is also included. Just bring your own lighter and reusable cutlery or a long spoon.
There is both a vegetarian and a non-vegetarian option available.
Unfortunately, dogs are not allowed in the huts where you will be staying. Combined with the intensity of the trail, this makes it impossible to bring your dog along.
When you book, you can choose to contribute to a certified climate project by Greentripper. Your contribution supports an initiative made up of 11 local projects in Uganda that distributes more efficient cooking stoves. This significantly reduces fuel consumption, helps protect forests from deforestation, and improves indoor air quality for local families. The project is Gold Standard certified, which guarantees the highest international standards for climate projects.
If you decide to contribute, Travelbase will also offset additional local emissions on site. After your trip, you’ll receive an official carbon credit certificate.

During the week, you'll hike just under 75 km. The stages vary between 10 and 19 km, with one longer day of 22 km. The days are well distributed and balanced, providing a nice mix between the number of kilometers covered and the elevation gained. For those looking for an extra challenge, you can book an additional night at the end of the week and add 12 more km to admire the Tre Cime Di Lavaredo.
You can park your car close to the hotel. The number of free parking spaces in the area is very limited. There is usually plenty of space in the paid parking lots nearby. You'll be paying around 14 euros per day to leave your car there. On the days you stay at the hotel, you can park for free in the hotel's parking lot.
The guides will provide all practical information and a briefing for the route on the first day at 9 AM. We recommend arriving as early as possible so that you can start the first day hike on time and beat the day tourists on the route.
You can also choose to arrive the night before and stay overnight at the hotel. You can easily add this option to your booking. Just a heads up: if the hotel is fully booked, you won't be able to add this option anymore.
