Declared a Unesco World Heritage Site in 2009, the Dolomites in the northern Italian Alps offer walkers who enjoy a moderate degree of challenge, some of the world's finest and most distinctive mountain landscapes. This walk in wild country of exceptional natural beauty, is within sight of 9840-feet (3000-meter) high snow-capped peaks, pink-hued rock steeples, vertical walls, sheer cliffs, and long, narrow, and deep valleys, as we explore high pastures, forest trails and gentle riverside walks. Highlights include lunches at rifugios ("mountain refuges"), one of which is reached by cable car, and an optional visit to an open-air World War I museum at Cinque Torri (Five Towers).

Hotel Ciasa Salares
Crossing the threshold of Hotel Ciasa Salares in the heart of the Dolomites, you can feel the alpine tradition. The atmosphere is a homely one, the environment intimate and refined like the mountain hut you might visit to enjoy nature and good living. Comfortable old settees gathered around a crackling fireplace, the smell of wood and photos of generations of innkeepers on the walls. The jewel- in- the- crown of the hotel is undoubtedly the Michelin star restaurant, La Siriola, where the rite of dinner becomes a sensory journey through the tastes, the colours, and the liquid and solid flavours of the world. The hotel features a spa with heated and indoor swimming pools, indoor Jacuzzi, gym, massage and beauty treatments, Turkish bath, and more.
