Fascinating organised autumn trek in 3 stages along the paths of Val di Fassa, from refuge to refuge. Ascend to dizzy heights each day following itineraries of unique beauty. The Dolomiti Trek King is so named on account of the legendary king of the many fairytales set among these enchanted mountains, thus defined due to their spectacular colours and amazing views. Places almost bewitched where a slow walk rewards you with emotions, perceptions and sounds from forgotten times which belong to a dimension so far from reality that they are almost impossible to describe... come and live it! 

The holiday package (3 nights stay, from September 18th to October 3rd 2021) includes:

  • 1 night in Dolomiti Walking Hotel (***/***S) with half board accommodation (double room);
  • 3 self guided hiking tours;
  • 2 nights in mountain hut with half board accommodation (multiple rooms) and two menus of "The flavour refuges Val di Fassa";
  • 1 cotton sheet sleeping bag.

Safety information

For your hikes in mountain always choose itineraries in accordance with your technical and physical abilities. Consult maps of the area to visit and check the best way to follow. If you walk in group including slower hikers, always calculate longer average times to cover the distances.

Preferably do not hike alone in mountain. Otherwise tell someone the itinerary that you are going to follow and let him know when you are back.

Check the weather forecast and, while hiking, constantly pay attention to the evolution of the weather.

If you do not feel safe, give up. In mountain, sometimes, it is better to surrender than to face the dangers deriving from bad weather conditions or from difficulties superior to one’s limits. In advance look for alternative itineraries to get back.

Bring rubbish back with you. Respect the flora and fauna. Remain on the marked tracks, avoiding to follow shortest ways, in order to avoid causing damages to vegetation and the territory. Respect local cultures andtraditions, always bearing in mind that you are a guest.
