Hotel-to-Hotel Hiking Adventure

Arrive in Val di Fassa at your discretion (private transfers on request) and check into your hotel.

The Val di Fassa, or Fassa Valley in English, is a fascinating natural valley set in the Italian province of Trento. The valley stretches 20-kilometers (12-miles), from Moena to Canazei, with a total of seven municipalities. This stunning Dolomites valley is surrounded by a “masterpiece” of mountains, including the Sella Group, Sassolungo, and Marmolada, home to the Dolomites largest remaining glacier, and the Catinaccio / Rosengarten with its remarkable Torri del Vajolet.
These mountains of culture, tradition, legend, and sport offer much to be discovered, and over time the Ladin people of Val di Fassa have guarded this valley of incomparable beauty. The kingdom of the legendary King Laurino was said to be set here, and the famous king was the guardian of this enchanted valley.
Dinner included at the hotel.

Enjoy a beautiful hike through Val San Nicolò. The higher you get, the more impressive the view of the Marmolada summits: Piccolo Vernel (3,098m / 10,160'), Gran Vernel (3,210m / 10,530'), Punta Penia (3,343m / 10,965'), and Punta Ombretta (3,230m / 10'595'). Ahead of you is the pyramid-shaped Col Ombert mountain. Stop en-route for a well-deserved lunch in a local rifugio and begin your descent through a picture-perfect landscape, green and flowery meadows scattered with picturesque wooden huts, framed by some of the most beautiful peaks. Take a transfer back to your hotel and enjoy dinner at leisure (not included).
(~5-6 hours hiking, 15,4 km / 9,5 miles, 945m / 3,100' ascent, 1,010m / 3,313' descent.)

"Then come the gigantic masses of the Platt Kofel [Sassopiatto] and Lang Kofel [Sassolungo]; the first, sliced off, as by the malice of a Titan, at a single blow; the second, an array of splintered spires, ashy-tinted or pale yellow." – Gilbert and Churchill, 1864.

The Puez-Odle/Geisler Nature Reserve comprises an expanse of 10,722 hectares (25,194 acres) and is named after the striking peaks of the Puez and the pinnacles of the Odle/Geisler massifs. Here you’ll bear witnesses of the geological history of the Dolomites. 
Today’s hike presents some challenges, but the views will be breathtaking!

In the morning, take a private transfer to Passo Gardena (2,120m / 6,955'), hike up to a local rifugio and follow the legendary Alta Via 2 into the heart of the Puez-Odle Nature park, with its striking views over Val Gardena and the Sassolungo massif. 
A final three-hour hike downhill on an easy and panoramic trail brings you to the town of Colfosco where your driver awaits to take you to your hotel.
(~7-8 hours hiking, 15 km / 9,3 miles, 590 m / 1,935' ascent, 1,150m / 3,775' descent.)
