About the trip

The Dolomites are made for families: wide meadows, lifts that take the effort out of climbing and huts every hour or so with apple strudel and hot chocolate. This trip shows children the mountains in the most fun way possible.

Walks last two to three hours. Price is per person; children under 12 travel for 30% less.
