Well- maintained winter walking routes . Wonderful hospitality in family- run hotel Winter Walking Dobbiaco T he Dolomites are arguably one of the most beautiful mountain ranges in Italy, where sheer limestone walls are topped by improbable pinnacles of yellow, pink and bright red rock. Based in the pretty town of Dobbiaco, with easy access into this famous range of jagged peaks, we enjoy easy valley routes to Versciaco, next to the Austrian border, and up to the quaint village of Villabassa. Our walks discover some fascinating World War 1 history and reveal a strong mix of Austrian and Italian influences that make the South Tyrol such an appealing area to visit. Walking trails are very well maintained and there is an incredible variety of routes, including a winter walk to the stunning viewpoint of the most famous image of the Dolomites, Tre Cime di Lavaredo. Each evening we return to the welcoming hospitality of the Tschurtschenthaler family who have entertained our clients for many years on our cross- country skiing holidays.

Wonderful routes take us into the Fanes- Sennes Natural Park, along the shoreline of Lago di Braies and beneath the impressive Tre Cime di Lavaredo, surely the most famous image of the entire Dolomites.
