in a nutshell
Medium Level Walks
 
Organised Walks
  In each of our three alpine resorts, Arabba, Corvara and Pedraces, we offer two spectacular walks five days a week (not Wednesday or Saturday).  
One walk would take place at medium or low level, whilst the other would be a more challenging route at high level.
These walks are free of charge and completely optional. If they interest you, simply drop into
Office Hour to sign up for the next day's itinerary.
Walks set off after breakfast at about 9 - 9.30am. We usually take a packed lunch and return to the village mid/late afternoon, depending on the length and location of the walk.
Spectacular Scenery  
 
Expect lowland and upland meadows, woodland trails, riverside tracks and sleepy hamlets, all with the spectacular massifs towering high above. Waymarking is good and navigating is generally easy. Some of our easier walks take place on the less challenging high level terrain.
  
Be Independent
  The advice and guidance of our Walk Organisers is available each evening at Office Hour. We have documented over 40 local walks and Route Laminates of these are available to anyone wanting to go out independently .  
breathtaking alpine landscapes
For years people have come to the Dolomites to walk on the many marked paths, which meander at low, medium and high levels between hamlets and villages. Whether your base is Arabba, Corvara or Pedraces, there are walks for everyone, from gentle strolls through woods, pastureland and tiny alpine hamlets, where little wooden bridges cross mountain streams, to more physically demanding ventures up into the rocky reaches of the mountains.
Here, you can spend your days wandering through wonderful alpine landscapes, where hundreds of different species of wildflower carpet the lush meadows that surround the villages. Networks of numbered paths thread their way between picturesque rifugios, where walkers stop for refreshment and soak up the surroundings. Many of these routes were originally hunting or even smuggling trails.
Cinque Torre.
Some people come here with very specific intentions: fossil-collectors love the region's rich geology; artists and photographers try to capture their own visions of these breathtaking mountains; bird and wildlife observers can admire a diverse range of fauna and, whilst spotting a pair of golden eagles is considered fortunate (although not wholly uncommon), sightings of buzzards, chamois, deer and the comical marmots punctuate many low and medium level walks.
organised or independent
low and medium level walking
In each village, Collett's organises five medium (or low) level walks a week, which anyone is welcome to join at no extra cost.These stunning walks take place in a sociable atmosphere and allow us to show you some of our favourite paths, panoramas and rifugios.They usually attract about 12 walkers and often bring together people with similar interests.
These walks are free of charge and completely optional. If they interest you, simply drop into Office Hour to sign up for the next day's itinerary.
Walks set off after breakfast at about 9 - 9.30am. We usually take a packed lunch and return to the village mid/late afternoon, depending on the length and location of the walk.

Ideas & Information Files & Route Laminates*
If you would prefer to walk independently, help and advice is always at hand. Either come to our small resort offices in Arabba, Corvara and Pedraces, or drop into 'Office Hour', where you can chat to (and look over a map with) someone who knows the walks. Alternatively, our 'Ideas & Information Files' outline over 30 outstanding low, medium and high level walks with details, duration and degree of difficulty with the relevant map section included and the opportunity to borrow the corresponding 'Route Laminate', as described here.
Please see our General Information for important notes entitled ‘Walks & Via Ferratas’, which apply to all walks and are at your own risk (Organised or Independent).
*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 with useful local information, packing suggestions, pre-departure tips, route directions for fly-drivers and self-drivers and much more.
