Carbon Neutral Trip
Italy’s Dolomites: outrageously scenic, slightly mysterious, and suspiciously crowd-free (shhh). Wander lush Alpe di Siusi’s larch forests, eye-popping meadows and trails beneath Sassolungo’s iconic peaks. Explore Alta Badia’s valleys, meet locals who proudly cling to Ladin traditions, and refuel with hearty alpine meals. Luxurious spas soothe tired legs—because even intrepid hikers deserve a little pampering.
Experience the awe-inspiring beauty of the Dolomites' jagged peaks, dramatic rock formations, and picturesque alpine landscapes, recognized as a UNESCO World Heritage Site for their natural significance and stunning beauty.
Unwind and rejuvenate in the Dolomites' tranquil environment, where a day of hiking is rewarded with a well-earned massage and exceptional regional cuisine.
Immerse yourself in the unique culture and traditions of the Dolomites' mountain communities, with charming alpine villages, historic churches, and fascinating museums that showcase the region's rich history, folklore, and culinary heritage.
