The Dolomites were beautiful, the hikes were challenging but there was room to opt in and out of some of the harder/longer sections, and the guides were exceptional. The Rifugios in Italy are MUCH nicer than those in New Zealand and Patagonia (for those who've been), and the food was truly delicious! I particularly appreciated the amount of coffee and strudel we were able to enjoy (icing on the cake)
Be prepared for unstable weather (in the Dolomites and in general these days), but also for an incredible experience!

If you are up for a great adventure with epic scenery and physically challenging activities, this is a great choice. Italy is a wonderful country with very friendly people. Hiking, rock climbing and bicycling are very popular here. Active Adventures must have spent alot of time and careful consideration planning the itinerary as it went very smoothly!

Exquisite mountain range full of majesty. When the clouds rose and we saw this spectacular mountain range, I lost my breath. To describe this trip I would need to use every positive adjective in my vocabulary. The Dolomites speak for themselves. My trip with Active Adventures through the Dolomites, was exceptional. Our guides, Gregory and Ivan were amazing. Their endless knowledge of Italy, its topography, geology, and history seemed endless. Each night Gregory would review what the next day would look like, allowing us to prepare accordingly. This gave us all comfort in our choices. And while we hiked, both guides moved within the group with such caring. Great guides. Great trip.

This was a "Bucket List" trip that truly exceeded my expectations and I believe some of that was due to our great guides, Kiwi Gregory and Alta Badia local Ivan. Both were very informative of area sights, landmarks, history and culture and always helpful whenever needed. It was a great group of adventurers, and this was a very memorable experience. I will definitely look into joining another Active Adventure trip in the future.

The Dolomites are a unique, spectacular landscape to hike and explore. Active and our guides, Greg and Ivan, crafted a challenging and memorable journey through the gorgeous mountains and meadows of the region.

Our family of four wanted to commemorate a handful of significant life events (graduation, retirement, etc) and thought this itinerary aligned well with our values and interests. It was the trip of a lifetime! We had never gone on a group vacation with strangers before and were nervous about how the dynamic would be, but from the beginning our cohort seemed to gel and get along. Our guides, Gregory and Ivan, facilitated this environment. They kept the group safe, and were knowledgable about the local culture, history, and environment.
The hiking was unbelievable: the Dolomites are a must-see, not only for their natural beauty but also the cultural heritage they contain. Whoever planned this itinerary did a phenomenal job of selecting our routes and accommodations. It was definitely the most plush adventure we'd ever been on, complete with mid-morning espresso, four course dinners at refugios, and daily sauna sessions. I would do this trip again in a heartbeat!

The Dolomites just make your senses soar: think irish-green meadows stippled by endless wildflowers, snowcapped peaks and skies that shift from morning bluebird to metal grey bluster by late afternoon. Guides Greg and Ivan were a dream team: they managed logistics, ably handled mishaps from an unsoled boot to an unhinged puppy/bike encounter, and shared their enthusiasm and knowledge of the gorgeous Ladin land, people and history. Top it all with crazy good food and espresso wherever we landed. My only regret is that the trip ended.
