The Italian Alps don’t get all the reverence they deserve, with an arcadia of adventures to be had in the northernmost Italian Alps and on our Dolomites walking holidays. The Dolomites are like the godfathers of Italy’s natural heritage, watching over the country from a craggy, majestic northern throne. In addition, we offer self-guided tours, hiking and cycling, in Piedmont, Valle d’Aosta, Lombardy, Trentino-Alto Adige in the Tyrol and Friuli Venezia Giulia. One of our most popular Dolomites hiking holidays is the Alta Via 1 route, just one of many dramatic trails in the region. For peak Italy, head to one of these north stars.
