Daily trekking in the Dolomites in the Fanes area

About this tour

A 7-hour trek through the Fanes region of the Dolomites, guided by a former ranger who knows the landscape intimately. You'll cover 14 kilometres with nearly 600 metres of elevation gain, moving through UNESCO-listed peaks, alpine meadows, and past mountain lakes and streams. Beyond the scenery, your guide reveals the flora, fauna and local stories you'd otherwise miss—including ties to the Fanes legend. The walk is steep at first, easing once you reach the mountain hut, where you can taste a craft beer brewed using pristine high-altitude water.

What to expect

The first portion climbs steeply through meadows and past rocky outcrops—expect to work for the initial two to three hours. Once you reach the mountain hut, the terrain becomes gentler and the sense of effort fades quickly. Your guide will pause regularly to point out birds, alpine plants, and geological features linked to the Fanes mythology. The high-altitude environment means crisp air and wide views across the range. You'll finish with a tasting of the locally-produced beer (adults only), made from spring water gathered above 2000 metres. The descent mirrors the ascent in reverse.
