The northern stretch of Alta Via 1 is where the route earns its reputation. Lake Braies and the Fanes Plateau. The tunnelled wartime heights of Lagazuoi. Cinque Torri above Cortina d’Ampezzo. If you only ever walk one piece of the Dolomites, you should walk this one.

Aside from highlighting the most special sections of this world-famous multi-day trek through the Dolomites, this tour allows you to enjoy the spirit of the high mountain world in as much comfort as possible.

Every night on this tour, you sleep in a private hotel room. No dormitories, just private rooms with cozy beds and a shower. As such, the three days in the mountains feel much less like a compromise between comfort and the depth of the experience.

The three days conveniently fit a long weekend or slot cleanly into a longer trip in the area. Furthermore, you can extend your stay by adding nights in Cortina if you want to make the most of the town, or we can arrange a pre-tour stay in Dobbiaco to make it logistically easier for you to reach Lake Braies.

We’ll handle all the necessities that make planning a hiking tour in the Dolomites stressful — hotel bookings, a guidebook with GPS routes and local recommendations, and someone on the other end of a message if anything comes up on the road.
