The Dolomites

Driving, hiking and cycling through the Dolomites – with a very good hotel in Val Gardena at the end of the walking.

The brief

A stretch of PTO, a rental car, and the best mountain scenery in Europe. The shape of the trip: move every day, earn the views on foot and by bike, and end somewhere with a proper bed and a proper kitchen.

What was arranged

A road-trip route through the Dolomites built around walking and riding days, anchored by the Classic Hotel am Stetteneck in Ortisei – the Val Gardena village that puts the Seceda and Alpe di Siusi lifts on the doorstep.

How it went

Ridgelines, rifugios, switchback climbs, and the particular pleasure of a hotel that feels earned. Sold first, then travelled – the same trip recommended to clients is the one in the video above.

Where we stayed

Classic Hotel am Stetteneck, Ortisei – the very good hotel at the end of the walking.
