Walking
Explore the stunning beauty of the Dolomites with five full-day excursions that take you to the best spots in northern Italy. While some walks may be long, the jaw-dropping views make it worthwhile. Enjoy leisurely strolls along the scenic shores of Lake Moveno, take in the 360-degree panorama of Adige Valley, and be astounded by Monte Colt - a massive limestone formation just north of Arco.
Five included guided walks
Lake Molveno (full day)
Molveno and Andalo (full day)
Santel to Fai della Paganella (full day)
Arco to Monte Colt (full day)
Molveno to Rifugio Croz dell'Altissimo (full day)
Grade 3: This grade is ideal for those who enjoy a variation in walking levels from easy to moderate. You’ll be walking mainly on good paths at a low altitude, with occasional more demanding ascents and descents. Walking regularly in preparation prior to the tour is recommended due to 5 to 9 miles of walking in the space of 2.5 to 4 hours per day.
With a backdrop of the pink-hued Brenta Dolomites, this family-run boutique hotel on Lake Molveno is the perfect blend of tradition and modernity. Enjoy delicious seasonal cuisine – from locally sourced prosciutto and gold trout to organic jams and honey – all while taking in impressive views of the towering rocky mountains. The interior is furnished with natural materials, many of which were crafted by local artisans. Unwind in the sauna after a day of exploring or cosy up in the mountain lodge-style lounge bar.

And you’ll see why when you stroll along the edge of the vibrant blue waters. At one end of the lake, the charming town of Molveno beckons, offering small beaches perfect for swimming and boating. Meanwhile, verdant forests and winding pathways surround the seven-mile shoreline, making it a paradise for nature lovers everywhere.
Included excursions
Lake Molveno
Distance: Nine miles Enjoy a gentle circular walk along the scenic shore of Lake Moveno, admiring the crystal blue waters of this beautiful lake. The Italian poet Antonio Fogazzaro described it as a "precious pearl within an even more precious casket" – on this walk you'll see why. Journey through woods, past the Ponte Romano (an intact ancient Roman Bridge) and a waterfall. Although quite long, this walk is not strenuous and acts as a good introduction to the walking programme.
