Physical rating - This tour involves five days of walking and is rated as Moderate. This means it includes walking and other activities requiring a moderate level of fitness to enjoy. Walks range from 9-11km (5.5-7 miles) in length with a maximum ascent of 750m and a maximum descent of 750m.

Terrain – Walking routes generally follow easy dirt roads and gravel tracks with some loose stones, as well as a few narrower singletrack footpaths that may be steeper and rockier in places. There may also be wet roots requiring a good level of balance, so the tour is unsuitable for those with knee or joint issues.
Weather – Our departures avoid the summer months when temperatures are uncomfortably hot for walking. You can anticipate temperatures ranging from 10-20 degrees C (50-68 degrees F) but weather conditions can change rapidly in the Dolomites so you should be prepared for unseasonably hot or cold conditions, as well as the chance of rain.
What to pack – Proper walking boots or trekking shoes with grippy soles (trainers are unsuitable). Waterproof/breathable jacket. Lightweight fleece or windstopper jacket. Sun hat/cap, sunglasses, sunscreen. Warm hat and gloves. Small rucksack (around 20 litres or more in capacity). Refillable water bottle or hydration bladder. Walking poles (optional). Swimwear and small towel. Any personal medication.
