'Young, jagged and imposing, the Dolomites are perhaps the most striking mountains in Europe.

Skiing Holidays, Snowshoeing & Walking Holidays
in Europe's most magnificent winter wonderland

With their explosive shapes and unique colours, the Italian Dolomites are unquestionably the crown jewels of the Alps and represent one of the most spectacular mountain landscapes in the world. This landscape becomes absolutely magical when the snow falls. At every turn you will be struck by the sheer magnificence of these colossal natural monuments, whether you come here to walk, snowshoe, ski or just spend time in a real winter wonderland.

The backdrops are awe-inspiring. Skiers interrupt descents of tree-lined pistes or sit mesmerised on chairlifts. In the valleys, walkers and cross-country skiers gaze up in awe from winter trails, whilst snowshoers venture into the rocky reaches of the massifs themselves for a real close-up. Others stare from the sun terraces of mountain huts or village cafes with hands cupped around a gluhwein or a hot chocolate.

'Young, jagged and imposing, the Dolomites are perhaps the most striking mountains in Europe. Although they are a stunning location for summer hiking, they are at their most sublime in winter. Stepping into a pair of snowshoes might feel strange at first, but it will allow you to walk to parts of this snowbound wonderland that are normally reserved for mountaineers and extreme skiers.'
