The extraordinary Dolomites
Millions of years ago coral reefs were forced through the tops of mountains
to create the breathtaking spires and cliffs that dominate the Dolomites
Mountains of northern Italy.
The spectacular natural beauty of the Dolomites provides the
perfect backdrop for an unforgettable skiing holiday. With a seemingly
endless network of ski lifts, finely groomed trails and charming villages,
the Dolomites Mountains are an eye-opener for visitors.
The Italian approach to skiing is a relaxed and friendly one. Skiing is
only part of the Dolomites experience food, wine, lunch and friends are
equally important.
With over 30 years of guiding skiers throughout this breathtaking
region, we have the knowledge and experience to make your visit
memorable and enjoyable.

World-class facilitiesold-world charm


The Dolomites is the largest interconnected ski region in the world.
Nowhere else will you find 450 lifts, including fast and modern
gondolas, cablecars and high-speed chairs, all on a single and
affordable lift pass. The ski lifts are spread over 12 valleys and 45
ski resorts! Over 1,200km of marked runs, as well as countless off-piste
options, make this a skiers paradise.
Despite the abundance of state-of-the-art infrastructure, the regions
charming, small-village ambience and age-old traditions remain.
Nestled in the valleys and towns, centuries-old buildings surround
village squares (piazzas). Skiers and locals wander cobblestoned
streets amid beautifully styled shops and culinary delights.

Let us take care of you


From our base in the classic village of Campitello we explore new
mountains and ski areas every day, and you also have ready access to
neighbouring villages and facilities.
CORTINA Our resort hosts will find the best snow and conditions whatever
the weather, be it the 12km glacier run of The Marmolada, the
sanctuary of Vigos tree-lined slopes or the screaming descents at
Ciampac, Buffaure and Val Gardenas Downhill Course.
Around the famous Sella Ronda route we ski anything from
4575km in a day without needing to catch the same lift twice!
We aim to take the hassles out of your holiday: all transfers,
lift tickets, accommodation and resort hosts are included in our
ski packages.
