The story of a destination
Five days between lakes and lagoon.
Dolomites and Venice is the tour we recommend most often to those who want mountains and a city in the same week. Here is what it looks like, day by day.
Morning on the lake
The first morning starts early, at an alpine lake, before the coaches arrive. The water is still, the peaks are mirrored down to the last detail, and the guide takes you along the shore path, where the light climbing the rock face is seen best.
Passes and mountain huts
The middle days cross passes above 2,000 metres, with stops at huts where the food is simple and good. The routes are chosen for the group’s pace: from one-hour walks to full-day hikes.
- 2,230 mthe highest pass in the programme
- 3 – 4 hof walking on mountain days
- 12people at most in a group
- Demonstration data, for this example website.
Evening in the city
The last evening is in Venice, away from the crowded squares: a walk through the quarters on the edge, a dinner booked in advance and the way back on foot, through streets that are almost empty at night.

Practical details
Good to know before you go.
General information, valid for most programmes. On confirmation you receive a document with the exact details of your journey.
Documents
For European Union countries a valid identity card is enough. Destinations outside the EU require a passport, usually valid for at least six months after the return date; some countries also require a visa, which we prepare together with you.
Climate and season
Each destination has a recommended season, shown on its card. In the Maldives the months without monsoon are November – April; in the Dolomites, hiking runs from June to September; European cities are pleasant in spring and autumn.
Luggage
For the flights included, checked luggage is usually 23 kg and hand luggage 8 kg; the exact details depend on the airline and appear in the travel documents. For mountain programmes we recommend hiking boots that have already been worn in.
Health
The information here is general and does not replace a consultation. For tropical destinations some vaccinations may be recommended; talk to your doctor in good time. We recommend travel medical insurance for all programmes.
