Trail Running

Leave the road behind and trail run through the Dolomites!

Trail running in the Dolomites is a unique and increasingly popular way to experience this beautiful landscape. Carrying only a light pack, and re-fueling at rifugios along the way, these mountains were designed for trail runners!

If you think of running whenever you see a trail, and if you’d rather run that trail then hike it, then you know what we’re talking about here: Trail running – running off road. Whether single track or fire road, as long as the nearest car is miles away and there’s no asphalt in sight, you’re good to go. Covering more mileage and carrying less weight than a traditional hike or trek, you’ll experience the same beautiful landscape – and more of it! – as you cruise over rocky passes and through lush meadows, stopping along the way for incredible vistas.

With the great network of trails here in the Dolomite Mountains, it’s no surprise that runners are discovering this limestone wonderland. What’s more? A bounty of rifugi – or mountain inns – act as “refueling stations,” serving up incredible cuisine and offering comfortable accommodations and warm showers for hut-to-hut runs. Most even have a full bar! So if you are up for a challenge and want to see this incredible Dolomitic landscape unencumbered by weight, our trail running trips are just the ticket!

Hit the trail!
