Embark on a breathtaking journey from Bolzano, the gateway to the Dolomites and the capital of South Tyrol, as we begin our scenic tour through the magnificent Dolomite mountains. Our adventure starts with a drive through the Ega Valley, nestled between the stunning Rosengarten and Latemar mountains. This historic route, constructed in 1895 during the Austro-Hungarian Empire, takes us through a picturesque canyon carved by the Ega River, showcasing the natural beauty of the area.
Our first stop is the serene Carezza Lake, considered one of the most beautiful lakes in the Dolomites. Here, you can take a leisurely 30-minute walk around the lake and absorb the breathtaking views of the surrounding landscape. From there, we continue our journey to Costalunga Pass, where we will view the historic Grand Hotel Carezza, the first luxury hotel in the Dolomites, built in 1893. This elegant hotel once hosted notable figures such as Empress Sissi, Winston Churchill, and Agatha Christie.
Next, we head into the stunning Fassa Valley in Trentino, passing through the charming towns of Vigo di Fassa and Canazei. As we make our way through the valley, we’ll be greeted by the towering peaks of the Sella Group. Our journey continues with a thrilling drive up 27 hairpin bends, known as switchbacks, leading us to the famous Pordoi Pass, situated at an altitude of 2,239 meters above sea level. Here, you’ll have the opportunity to take a one-hour break and, if you wish, ride the cable car up to Sass Pordoi, which reaches an elevation of 2,950 meters. The cable car operates from late May until mid-October and from Christmas to Easter.
After descending from Pordoi Pass, we’ll make our way to the Sella Pass, where you will be treated to stunning views of the vertical walls of the Sella massif. From this vantage point, we can admire the Marmolada Glacier (3,343 meters) and the majestic Sassolungo (3,181 meters), the most iconic mountain of the Gardena Valley. A short 10-minute photo stop allows you to capture the spectacular scenery.
Our tour then takes us down into the renowned Gardena Valley, a popular destination for tourists exploring the Dolomites. Here, we will visit Ortisei, the largest town in the valley, where you can enjoy a one-hour lunch break and explore the town’s charm. Afterward, we’ll head back to Bolzano, where we will conclude our unforgettable journey, filled with natural wonders and rich history of the Dolomites.

Amazing time with amazing friends, people along the way and Sara was the best of the best to work with. Thank you for one of the greatest experiences of our lives.
Dolomite Mountains organized a wonderful hut-to-hut hike for us. they offer a guide, but we were comfortable doing it without one. They gave us a very clear itinerary and detailed trail map prior to our departure, which matched our experience. It was very helpful to have them book the huts on our behalf.
Another amazing experience with Dolomite Mountains! Our second self-guided tour - definitely recommend this company. They make everything easy and worry-free. And in such a gorgeous part of the world!
Dolomite Mountains tour co. organized one of the best ski holidays , including many of the epic ski adventures in the Dolomites: Sella Ronda, Marmolada, Cinque Torri, overnight in Refugio’s, excellent hotels, Italian cuisine, and ski guides. Endless km’s of groomed pistes and high quality ski lifts, stunning mountain vistas, a once in a lifetime place to ski. Excellent service for the entire trip.
Excellent organization. There were four of us, women in late 50ties, hiking 7 days, staying in rifugi. We did between 12-20 km a day. Dolomite Mountains did all our reservations and gave us the directions and off we go. Everything worked very smoothly. Hotels were very good, every one of them different, food was excellent and the hikes had good length and difficulty - exactly what I asked for. The communication before the trip was prompt and thorough. I highly recommend this company.
