 |
| |
| |
|
|
| Each
early evening (except Wednesday) we
hold ‘Office Hour’. More
relaxed than its name suggests, some
people just drop in for a sociable
drink to share the day's experiences
with friends, who may have been doing
other things. Here you can join up
for the following day’s organised
walks, Via Ferratas, painting etc.
You can browse through maps and ask
questions. |
|
 |
 |
| If
planning an independent itinerary, we
will happily help and advise. We can
also book other mountain pursuits for
you, such as rafting, paragliding, horseriding
etc.. It is also ideal for meeting like-minded
people in a sociable atmosphere and
this can have pleasant repercussions.
Often walkers, climbers, Via Ferrata-ists
or families will team up for a day out
as a result of dropping in. Office Hour
is between 6.00 - 7.30pm. In Arabba,
come to Café Peter opposite the
church. In Corvara, we use the bar at
Chalet Bracun. In Pedraces, the bar
at Haus Valentin. |

|
|
| Flower
Walks, Painting |
| (&
Cooking) |
 |
| Your
stay in the Dolomites will surely be enhanced by our
own walkers, Via Ferrata specialists, wildflower enthusiasts
and watercolour tutors. Five days a week (not Wednesday
or Saturday), they organise wonderful days out and you
can join any of them as much or as little as you like
at no extra cost. Their presence ensures you can do
just as you please, whether you are a Via Ferrata-ist,
who would like to try a day's painting or a high level
walker, who fancies a stroll with our wildflower expert.
Also, see what’s cooking two days a week at Chalet
Verena, Corvara. |
| |
| Simply
drop into 'Office Hour' and arrange to take part in
whatever takes your fancy. This is what is on offer
five days a week to all our guests whether you are staying
in Arabba, Corvara or Pedraces: |

Ideas
& Information Files & Route Laminates |
| |
|
 |
| For
people who prefer to be independent and do their own
thing, on your arrival you can obtain an Ideas &
Information File, which will be invaluable to you. It
will provide you with easy access to numerous magnificent
proposals. In it, we have documented over 30 wonderful
high and medium/low level walks, over 20 Via Ferratas,
several 'Drives and Days Out', bike rides etc. under
headings, such as 'Five Easy Walks', 'Five Classic Via
Ferratas', 'Five Ideas for a Rainy Day' etc. |
 |
In
addition, a Route Laminate corresponds to each of the
proposals documented in the Ideas & Information
Files. This is a small laminated A5 version of your
chosen walk, Via Ferrata etc., |
|
which you can borrow from us. It is easy to carry and less
bulky than the 'I&I' File. It contains the relevant section
of map as well as the route description and other useful details.
Route Laminates can be borrowed from us either at Office Hour
or from our resort offices. |
 |
|
| People who would rather do things independently,
should also refer to any of the following areas of interest: |
| Lower
Level Walking |
| High
Level Walking |
| Via
Ferrata |
|
 |
* Ideas & Information
Files & Route Laminates which you can borrow from us (at
your own risk). Prior to your holiday, we send you a 1:25,000
map of the area and a Guest
Handbook (also pictured above) with useful local information,
packing suggestions, pre-departure tips, route directions
for fly-drivers and self-drivers and much more.
