Dolomites to Lake Garda

Walk from the sky-scraping limestone peaks of the Brenta Dolomites to the shimmering shores of Lake Garda. Combine classic hut-to-hut hikes in the Dolomites with relaxed walking at Lake Garda. Experience the atmosphere of remote and historic mountain huts (rifugi), riding a cableway from Lake Molveno up into the heart of the Dolomites. You’ll stay 2 nights nestled amongst a natural amphitheatre of giant monoliths. Descend via the Val d’Ampiez and walk to the thermal springs of Comano Terme, before you wind your way through wooded valleys to spectacular Lake Garda, where you can relax water-side, ferry-hop to picture-postcard villages or enjoy loop walks.
