An experience that went beyond skiing!

It was an amazing experience: the various refugios and chalets all had their own character and atmosphere. The guide – Massimo – was excellent. It was an experience that went beyond skiing!

Frequently Asked Questions

What is a ski safari holiday?

A ski safari holiday is a guided skiing experience that links together multiple ski resorts or areas, allowing you to explore a much wider area throughout the week without repeatedly skiing the same runs. Using lifts, pistes and occasional short transfers, you ski from place to place with a professional guide, enjoying the best terrain each day while your route is carefully planned for snow conditions and ability levels.

Who is a ski safari holiday suitable for?

Our Dolomites ski safari is designed specifically for experienced skiers who are confident skiing a wide variety of red runs and steeper terrain, and who are comfortable maintaining a good pace throughout long ski days. The route takes in iconic areas such as Tre Valli, Val di Fassa and the Sellaronda, linking multiple valleys and resorts, often far from the main bases, so strong all-round ability and stamina are essential.

This holiday is ideal for skiers who love covering serious distance, exploring different ski areas in one trip and skiing continuously from place to place rather than repeating the same runs. It is not suitable for beginners or cautious intermediates, but perfect for those who want a challenging, immersive way to experience the very best of the Italian Dolomites.

What makes a ski safari different from a normal ski holiday?

Unlike a traditional ski holiday based in one resort, a ski safari focuses on journey, variety and discovery. You experience multiple ski areas in one trip, avoid repetition, and gain a deeper understanding of the region’s landscape and culture. It’s ideal for skiers who want more than just lift-to-piste skiing from a single base.

Do I need to carry my own luggage between resorts on a ski safari?

No — on our ski safaris, your main luggage is transported separately between the overnight stops, so you only ski with a small day pack. This allows you to move freely and safely across the Dolomites without being weighed down, while still enjoying the experience of staying in different rifugios and ski areas during the week.

Are ski Passes included?

Yes, our Ski Safaris include a 6 Day Dolomiti Superski Pass. If you have your own ski pass / IKON pass, we can reduce the cost of the holiday for you by the cost of the ski pass.
