Updated 16.11.2022 –

We are thrilled to welcome you back to the Dolomite Mountains! We enjoyed seeing so many new and returning guests soak up the beauty of the Dolomites this summer, and we look forward to seeing more of you in the Dolomites and Beyond this winter!

While the Coronavirus has impacted us all in different ways the past two years, today the Dolomites and the surrounding areas we travel are some of the safest places in Europe. High vaccination rates and the wide-open spaces in nature, afford a sense of respite and freedom from the challenges we have faced both locally and globally, and a glimpse of a forecasted return to normalcy we hope to celebrate together soon.

While we will do our best to keep this page updated, we encourage you to confirm travel regulations for your country using the additional resources below.

CURRENT REGULATIONS IN ITALY:

Actions taken in Italy to reduce the spread of Coronavirus have been ongoing, and innumerable measures of precaution and responsibility have been put into place to prevent another outbreak.

If you are from another country and are planning to visit Italy, there are several excellent websites that outline travel regulations:

• Italian Ministry of Health – “Covid-19, travellers”
• Italian National Tourist Board (ENIT) – “Covid-19 updates: information for tourists”
• Italian Ministry of Foreign Affairs and International Cooperation – “Focus: Italian citizens re-entering Italy and foreigners in Italy”

As the rules vary depending on the country of origin, destination, and the reasons for travelling, it is best to refer to the above websites before booking travel. You can also use the interactive COVID questionnaire prepared by the Italian Ministry of Foreign Affairs for more information.

EU DIGITAL COVID CERTIFICATE, ITALIAN GREEN PASS & SUPER GREEN PASS
