based in Three Alpine Villages at the heart of the Majestic Italian Dolomites
Collett's is used to looking after groups and clubs that come to walk in the Dolomites. We offer considerable support, ideal accommodation and great flexibility.
We can help you put together an appropriate programme of memorable walks, whether you self-guide or whether you choose to be accompanied on the walks by one of us. With larger parties, we are happy to offer you a dedicated walks organiser, who will ensure your outdoor arrangements are plainsailing and trouble-free.
We place significant emphasis on supporting the party organiser right from the initial enquiry through to the end of an unforgettable holiday. We will take great interest in your plans and will do everything possible to help you bring them to fruition.
We understand the challenge and hard work taken on by the organisers of large parties and we aim to eliminate stress by being flexible and efficient across the board - travel, accommodation and itinerary planning or support. Our aim is the unconditional success of your venture.

Office Hour
-
organise your itineraries daily with support from our staff
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.
Stay as long as you like, arriving and departing on whatever day suits you. Choose between halfboard, bed and breakfast or self catering accommodation from an excellent range of properties in three idyllic alpine villages at the heart of the Dolomites.
Please email or call us on 01799 513331 for Group Walking Holiday prices which include participation in all of our organised walks and unlimited access to the support and guidance of our Walk Leaders based in the Dolomites - They do not include Airport Transfers, Glacier Itineraries or Mountain Hut Accommodation.

Travel & Venice Hotels
Travel to the Dolomites independently, either fly-driving, self-driving or using our daily shuttle to and from Venice and Treviso Airports. Take low cost, scheduled or charter flights to one of several airports serving the Dolomites.
Venice - we can arrange for you to add a stay in Venice before or after your time in the Dolomites. We know a handful of central, friendly and fairly-priced hotels and we can take care of your booking arrangements - See Staying in Venice Here.
being independent as a group
For groups 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.
...route Laminates can be borrowed from us either at office hour or from our resort offices
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.
