About the trip

Most visitors see the Dolomites by day and go back to the valley at night. On this trip we stay up high, in permitted camping spots below the Odle and Puez, and get the mountains to ourselves at sunset and sunrise.

Walks are short, so there is plenty of time to rest, read and watch the light change. Packs are heavier than on a hut trip, but Marco shares out the group kit and the routes are gentle.

What's included

  • Tents, mats and sleeping bags
  • All meals
  • Marco as your guide
  • Lift tickets
  • Transfer from Ortisei
